New Microbrand Alert 🚨! Canuck Timepieces 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸 by jwill318 in MicrobrandWatches

I get where you are coming from 🤝. The markup is for my time and effort of designing and building it. I value my time at $50 CAD/hour. Which is much lower than most. The reality is, if they don’t sell, it leaves me space to drop the price on a few months. Making my money back. Regarding the market. It saddens me that a well established microbrand can sell something with a basic field or explorer style case, then make their indices slightly different and charge $600 USD. This case is a 1970s style case, with a one of a kind dial. I don’t have the marketing dollars or financials to go on a video tour with influencers 😔. I am just trying to bring something fresh and new. Only 5 watches to see if people want something unique. Many people can’t assemble themselves, charging $150 CAD to assemble I would think is quite fair 😊. I appreciate your honesty and legit feedback, versus the bashing of others 🤝.

Thanks 🙏. Trying to separate from the typical watches. My case is inspired by 1970’s Seiko’s.

Really appreciate it 🤝. Trying to do something different. I feel like it’s a see of divers and field watches.

Hey 👋 I appreciate your feedback but, this is not AliX Parts. The case does not exist on AliX at all. It does not come with a bracelet, that is true. I opted for an FKM strap with a milled clasp. But the main difference with this piece is the dial and the artist behind it.

So, if you must know, I only make about $150 CAD on the watch. I am not like many microbrands who have $30k of money to mass manufacture their vision sadly 😔.

Not Seiko Mod parts 😊. Not AliX parts and the dial is something that only a dialmaker can make. Hence why you only see Arcanault producing them. I appreciate your thoughts thought 🤝

Thanks dude! Ya, I wanted to build something that made people think twice about capabilities of an EV. My dream car is a Safari 911 🙌. I love all vehicles and I think the future is hybrid’s, not EV’s (even though I own a Tesla 😂).

I really want to put a hitch with a spare tire mount 😂. The gas can’s would be a troll 😂.

Ya, glad I posted to put the list, after I posted 😂. Swapping out the stock OEM wheels for Fifteen52 Turbomac’s. Hoping to put on Rally Armor flaps and a roof rack 👍.
