Help! Which Microbrand is next?
I'm trying to fill the last spot in my watch box, and luckily for me, none of the watches listed below are currently available... but what would you choose? Is there something else in this world that I'm missing? I'm also open to other watches from these brands, but I've been leaning toward a GMT. For context, I already own (microbrand) watches from Baltic, Farer, Halios and Brew. So I'm looking for another high quality micro... with a bit of color. Thanks!

I just discovered Wise watches.. you might want to have a look 👀
Sorry not all of them are micro.
Damn it with the images on this site.

I actually almost added Boldr to this list as well... been checking them out too.
One I was thinking about untill I found the Raymond Weil Freelancer gmt is the Formex Reef gmt that’s a bit different.
Otherwise if that’s a bit too out there or large Squale have a nice gmt.
Though I don’t think you’d class them as a microbrand.
And there’s also the Zelos Spearfish gmt
All three are available at Serious Watches in the Netherlands. They’re a proper AD that specialise in microbrands.

really like the zelos.
really like the zelos.
Mine’s not a gmt but I really like my Zelos Swordfish. Also I think the Zelos is the most affordable of the 3 I recommended.
Aesthetic bias informed my choice here as I own a Nodus Sector GMT ; )

reply with a picture if you have one! how are you liking it?
Spinnaker, Wise Timepieces (great F&F), Chris W (but many don’t consider them a MB anymore)

Love this watch and the GMT feature comes in handy even when I'm not traveling. Nodus hit a home run with this and their other releases.
Something from an established brand, but I'm really not a fan of microbrands myself.

Ah, fair enough. Was going to suggest one of the Swatch group & Seiko 😂👍🏻
So, maybe move up a tier? I got my quartz Aqua Terra beater from eBay for £1300. 🤔

I've thought about it... but I've had such good luck with these watches in the $400-700 range that it's hard to justify it (at this point).
Definitely Zelos.
