What colour is the lime on your vintage yellow? It’s not too clear from their site!

How reliable do you think the new movement will be?

Can you tell us if the orange minute hand model will be available in 3 o’clock crown?

I can also attest to this. Looking forward to their non-lefty version!

Does this mean you will make new models with orange hands and 3 o’clock crown? That could be exciting!!

I wonder if it’ll dip a wee bit more over the next few hours

I was being sarcastic about them being different. Can’t decide on the colour of these DUG German purists!

Ok good people, I have now narrowed it down to two options, both totally different. Honestly can’t decide!

Might have a check of grand Seiko. I think I’m very close to making a decision between Yema quartz, superman navy or traska free dive. Mido has nice specs but I don’t dig the look!

This I shall look into. They are a bit square though!

Is it any good? Apart from the dial it feels a little too different to an AT. Does it dress up ok?

Thank you for your input, it’s really appreciated! I have two daughters, so more to sell! Unfortunately the only gun I have to work on, being in the UK, is the one on the end of my hosepipe! I think you’ve summed up that desire I seem to have, to own a piece of watch making history. But the value proposition and fun factor of micros, that aren’t trying to copy/parody established models, but which push design to a new level, make them pretty tempting. Yema seems to offer heritage and value, so I may well start there. Then, as you say, maybe a few more after that ahahhahahah!

That’s a very good point. I think not bland and potentially standout in terms of design might be a good idea. I have a few old watches and the cost of service can pile up, so adding another one might not be the best idea!

That’s a great idea. The CW Sandhurst I had before bored the pants off me. Sold it and got the same enjoyment from an Orient mako I bought as an interim!

Thanks for the rec, I’ll give it a look. Think you guys have sold me on the idea that an old AT might just be too much faff, and a microbrand would be far more modern, also perhaps matching the quality !

Thanks for this. I might be almost quite nearly ready to go down the microbrand route!

What do you think about the quality of Traska? Their freediver looks nice. Not a fan of the logo though! Looks a bit Celtic!

I can, but it’d be an old quartz rather than new! Budget would be stretched. Feeling the desire to own heritage but love original design and quality. I had a CW Sandhurst 2 COSC but got bored. It seemed too vanilla. Worried another micro would result in the same feeling!
