Your collection is beautiful, particularly that Rado. I own the Tudor BB 58 and I love it’s versatility and comfort.
If you’re open to trying a well-made independent check out Monta. They’re excellent value for money. Christopher Ward is also putting out some really quality pieces as well.
I love the Willard, but for an everyday watch I might look at Seiko’s SPB range. You get some robustness at a pretty good price point. I also think a Grand Seiko’s Sport Collection offers some excellent options that take you a little more upmarket. The finish on their cases is spectacular, and their Spring Drive is an engineering marvel.
It doesn’t really aid legibility, at certain angles it can be an impediment to seeing the date. It took me some time to accept this as a design flaw rather than a feature. Now, that might just be my eyesight, and your mileage may vary. I have a Tudor GMT 41 with a small, clear date window, and I don’t experience the same issues when I check the date.
I have the SkyQuest with the gilt and the OceanKing v3. I think they are superb. They are well crafted, balanced and the bracelet is awesome. I have a nice collection of watches and I suspect these two are going to be in heavy rotation for a while. I would compare the quality and the wearability to Tudor.
BTW, I don't really see them as a micro brand. I think of them as being an independent.
