FARER is killing it right now with some really great original watches. Like not a single one of their watches is a homage

They are obviously successful and have several neat design ideas. My opinion is to build a serious brand for the long term, a Microbrand should focus on its identity and not be all things to all people. While some Farer designs are a clear home run, others try too hard to be cool. Less could be more.
The Farer on the previous page with the Cushion Case sure is a beauty.
This is sick, I've really been thinking about picking one up. Any buyers remorse?20G
I had a good talk with their founder the other day. This fall the Freediver 6 wil be announced. He discussed the upcoming updates with me. They seem smart an sensible to make a great watch even better. I have only had the watch for about a week but it has quickly earned its way to lots of wrist time.

As many know, I own the Helm Vanuatu Titanium and love it.
I entered several email addresses and one has come up.
I'm not going to purchase another but if one of you want to, you are welcome to do so. Just wanted to offer someone the opportunity to not be on a 3 year waiting list.
I would have you log in, pay with your own credit card, and have it delivered to your address. If it wont let us change it, I'd receive it and put it in the mail to you.
This may only work in the US.
If you want to do this, message me.

Pleasantly surprised on how well finished this is for the price. Plays with light really well.

How about Atelier Wen? I know they have been heavily marketing the dial maker to entice people.
I wish they'd have made their own movement or at least stay away from dandong.

That bracelet is absolutely amazingThis isn’t under a grand but it’s on my radar.
...but the dial, it's like they took all the worst parts from the Oris 65 diver, then made them worse.
Micro price is taking your breath away
Anyway, much respect for what these guys are doing.

DD movements are solid. To get that dial and an in house movement would put an unknown brand at an unrealistic price.

I think it's the reputation of the brand DD, since they are known to making movements for reps from what I heard from some friends that's keeping them from buying.
