As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
Great idea! I'm not wearing a micro today but I did wear this recently.
Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
Zelos SkyRaider. And I finally found a strap maker that I trust to make me the right strap.
Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
We need more info on that strapmaker!

Her name is Tatiana. I sent her a link to my post here. We’ll see how she wants to follow up. Definitely is an artist with a gift.

Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
Here's my half dozen. All excellent quality. Zelos, Vratislavia, Dan Henry, Christopher Ward (legacy microbrand), Mercer (Read that they may be out of business), Marloe
Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
The term "micro" gets a lot of scrutiny. A few of what is in my collection that I accept as "micros" are:
Vero:
Baldieri:
d.freemont:
Wolbrook
More later...

Just my $0.02 USD as always.
Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
The Codek Spiral, another one of those fleeting microbrands. This one caused quite a stir in the deals thread.
Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
I've had a few, including two Zelos, and a Vratislava. I have a Vaer right now, which I have posted in the WRUW thread many times. Here are a couple that are no longer in the collection that I haven't seen in this thread yet:

I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: Show'em, Micro-Brands
I can't promise it's never, but I have not seen it, and I have been on their mailing list for some time. They send maybe 2 emails a year.
Diver 1s (Divers 1?) hover around $180 to $200 used. At that price they are excellent values IMO. The exchange rate makes buying them new a little tougher - 190 GBP right now is around $260.
The upcoming Treasure Seeker (with a 9015) looks pretty hot:
Good size too: 42mm, 49mm L2L, and 12mm thick.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I'm not a Maen promoter (this is my second; the Hudson got flipped).
This came with a misaligned hour subdial hand.
Rather than return it under warranty, I had my watch guy reset it.
