I want to share a bit about my watch. I have been using it for quite some time now. I have always liked watches, but I was not familiar with micro-brands. I decided to start my journey with the Spinnaker Fleuss Marlborough Limited Edition. I got number 25 out of 500. Overall, I am satisfied with the watch. There are some aspects that disappointed me. The bezel is very stiff. I don't know if this is a defect or if it was designed this way. Other than that, everything is good. I am considering my next purchase, something from Helm, RZE, or Neotype. I especially like the Neotype LM01 TYPE D. Does anyone have experience with watches from these brands? I would appreciate your feedback.

Funky fella! I haven't bought any micro-brands (yet) but that's a damn neat watch

Thank you! I've decided to continue buying micro-brands for myself, as they have a lot of unique models, and they often release them in small or limited editions. It's probably unrealistic to meet someone with the same ones, and I really like that)))
