    Baby Dreadnought

    Can't see a thread anywhere, but the Governor has been on the Microbrand watches facebook group announcing that the Baby Dreadnought will be released later this year.

    I for one would snap one up- it's a great looking watch, but too big for me. 38mm would be my sweet spot!

    It is - he means the original is too big, but this 38mm would be perfect for him

    Ah, sorry. Makes sense now.

    Looks great. Be good to have an indication of timing and pricing.

    I think I will too. This would suit my tiny wrists a lot better than the original

    Just saw Eddie's ad on FB five minutes ago for the 38mm Dreadnought. Count me in.

    You'll get an idea of timing but prices are only ever disclosed on the day in hits the shop. It's always very frustrating as people want to know whether they'll be able to afford it and save accordingly. I'm sure Eddie has his reasons.

    I really fancy the 38mm Smiths Willard and it would make such a difference if I could know how much it's going to cost.

    I think the Willard is 40mm and the Speedbird is 36mm (according to the ads I just saw on FB).

    Think both look great. That being said, a 40mm voyager would be the boyo!

    The original had 22mm lugs on a 44mm case. Am peering at the photo trying and failing to work out if the 1:2 proportion has been retained and there are 19mm lugs on the 38mm version.

    I imagine even timing might be vague, given the current situation in China.

    Just had confirmation on Eddie's Facebook page - the Baby Dreadnought has been ordered and is due August, maybe even July! I can hardly wait...
