Dress up watch….

I just ordered a #boderry myself! I think they look great! ☺️🤎👞

I've been looking at that watch. I like it, but I wish the specs were different. I really like the size of the Baltic. If this one was the same size I'd already have it. It's still an option though.

Ultimately I think the designs matters the most, but if you like both why not. I have a Solas Starlight, which I think was the first brand to use this movement.

Basically the brand owner heard about the movement, and created the brand to prove micro-rotors had a place in this price point.

In a way, yes. I personally do not like brands that has the sole purpose of making watches that are almost clones of other watches. I don't begrudge people for buying them if they like them but for me, I like brands that have a history to them and that the majority of their references are of their own design.

When considering some watches, I ask myself whether I would like the watch and wear it if the dial didn’t show the brand and logo. If the watch has decent specs, an interesting design, wears well, and looks good on me, then I will go for it. As far as Boderry goes, their Voyager Titanium Automatic Field Watch - Vintage Noir Dial (BD-A11T-05TB) fit that bill.

Nope…what matters is your connection to the time piece. Nothing else! Brands are irrelevant…period! So many get caught up in the hype! Lots of amazing watches get ignored just because their not well known. People don’t understand that most brands use the same movements, with in-house being the exception(true in-house).

Beautiful watch 👍. I have their Turtle watch in Titanium. They have some great offerings notably in Titanium.

I have a very similar version 😀

Yes, it does - and Boderry is a good name.

You have a handsome wristwatch with a cool movement that'll impress both wristwatch enthusiast and general public alike. I'm not familiar with Boderry but regularly see their ads on Facebook (good looking field watch they've got there).

To specifically answer your question: The name on the front is more than just a brand name.

For example, I expect the text "citizen" to be a well recognised brand that holds resale value for when I want to trade away the watch.

I would be confident that most watch technicians are experienced with movement from a watch that shows "Seiko" on the front so that repairs and service of the watch isn't hard to source.

I'm pretty confident that online forums for "Tissot" would offer a lot of useful information about the calibre, known issues with the overall wristwatch, general knowledge and the specific model etc.

These are all examples where a watch brand with a sizeable market share will have advantages over a similar designed watch from a less known brand.

No, I wouldn’t think so. If the movement (the part that has the highest chance of failure) is good and proven, then a stainless steel case and crystal are all relatively the same.

I think this would look much better without the date.

The MR01 took away the date but then does have a ghost position.

These watches to me allow try a larger size, sapphire crystal front and back all while keeping with the same movement. If I wanted a smaller overal watch, the MR01 would fit the bill.

No. Boderry are sharp watches!

I think this is one Chinese maker who does branding right.

Watch tech is advancing so fast that the consumers are able to purchase watches with awesome specs for less money of one doesn’t mind the brand. Thanks for the info.
