Microbrand alternatives to Cocktail Time?
Seiko and Orient seem to have cornered the market in affordable dress watches, (and before the adenoid gang reach for their keyboards, I know they have date complications and therefore can’t be considered “true” dress watches, but I don’t care) with Cocktail Time and Bambino’s but can anyone in the WC family come up with a credible MicroBrand alternative?

Lorier Zephyr/Astra and Nuun Official come to mind.

Wise ....they have currently a limitted edition.
The dial is real gold and the structure looks crazy good, same as the movement.
They also use 904L steal for the case...same steal blend as like rolex.Price around 750 Dollar I guess.

Baltic MR01
Vario comes to mind with their Empire and Versa lineups.

OP mentioned affordability, and I think the pricepoint of almost 600 dollars puts it out of the 'affordable' range for most people. Definitely not comparable to the prices of the Cocktail Time and Bambino lineups.
Beautiful
