    My favourite micro is Visitor. Especially the Vale Park Officer...

    There are lots of reviews of it on utube.

    The owner of #134 very much agrees 👍

    Always have a weakness for micro brands and all 4 above (Timefactors, Helson, Crepas and Mkii) are my favourites to date.

    I guess if you'r willing to include smaller brands as well as micros, then Damasko, Sinn and Stowa have surely got to be in the mix?
    for pure microbrand, I've had nothing finer than my A-13-A pilots chrono- fantastic finish, spec and functionality for the price, even better if you can find one used.

    OMFG that’s beautiful. :P

    Just splashed out £220 on this:



    I'll be picking the white dial but I'm unsure yet whether to stick with the Seiko NH35a or drop another ton for the Sellita movement.

    I did too, with loads of other people it looks like. Will definitely go for the SW200 and white.

    EMG, designed by hked, 40mm.


    They have green, dark blue, white, yellow and I think black. I like the solid end links on the bor.

    And the owner of FE-00(Frankenstein) also agrees, but is bound to as I'm a touch biased. FE-000 is of indeterminate age now as I think I've tinkered with and modified everything from the original except the movement base.

    I have went for the Swiss movement, and the white dial to me is the best too.

    Richy
