Maybe it's just me but I do not like that dial texture. The CW logo? great. The case? Great. That dial texture? Maybe it looks better in person. Does anyone has experience in person with this dial pattern?The Twelve no date 36mm is calling my name for $1200
Loving this thread. Lots of great brands and value, craftsmanship and style. Microbrands and re-established small brands are keeping my interest as of now. Earlier, I saw a few posts about "the vintage vibe".. another thing I drool over.
Recently posted over my "Selhor Vintage" diver- the cushion case and details are original yet 100% on the vintage track.. with a unique bracelet that could be vintage.
Today, I finally got my Yema Superman Heritage 39- which came with an impressive package and was supposedly made with a 3D print of the original 60's release. Love it. Every detail, except the fact the the lugs are a bit still even a 39mm is a bit long on my thin tall bony wrist .. build quality and clasp, way beyond cost. I've had Gen Omegas and Rolexes in the past I've loved equally for much higher cost. Definitely following and noting all the beloved lesser known beauties. Only way I personally can own a watch that I really love is fishing these days.
Also snagged a NOS 90's Seiko powered Yema Rallygraf on the bay for 35$, shits giggles, even impressed by that. Blued steel, mineral glass, 190g.. nice work all, ill share a few pics as well. Sold a pair of Steinharts to cover these, those were both EX+ sub style watches. A+ info.

Yes, Tissot is more in the megabrand category.
But that doesn't stop them having some interesting models like these vintage sideral...
What we need are microbrands that can offer a higher level of customisation at a reasonable cost. Leave the mass market to swatch, seiko, etc.. and concentrate on unique, custom, niche products (modular watches, divers with changeable bezels, custom cases, etc).

I hear the bracelets for those PRX's are the main selling point. Really looking forward to handling one if I run across one!Tissot is not a microbrand
but yes, the latest PRX is awesome
this is gorgeous! Do you plan to produce more or was it just a unique piece for yourself? would be interestedMy new micro brand

Ordered up the Munro last week from Clemence watches , a microbrand from Edinburgh. £519 pre-order price (delivery March 24). Quality of this one is supposed to be superb based on prototype reviews, with a bracelet that is said to be close to Monta levels. 37.5mm and a 10mm depth.
