I think all the Wolbrook automatic models now have the 8315 movement which is an upgrade on the 8215 with hacking, hand-winding and 60 hours power reserve but it still can suffer from the ‘Miyota stutter’. They were doing a discount code on the site just a little while ago, might make it worthwhile.

You’re lucky! I’m waiting on a Pagani from the sale and it hasn’t even left China yet. 😕

You're a braver man than I!

San Martin is a great example of an up and coming brand to watch. Although their prices have started to climb higher of late they still punch way above their price bracket. They’re moving into more original designs too and I could see them starting to give Seiko and Orient real nightmares.
