I've finally managed to locate and buy a zelos swordfish that I've wanted for ages. Whilst I would love one of their timascus versions the budget is more suited to a stainless version and obviously they are less prone to annoying scratches.
Definitelyy no watches for me for a while.
I love these, please do post pics when it arrives!Definitelyy no watches for me for a while.
Zelos just announced their 10th Anniversary watch - https://zeloswatches.com/collections/helmsman-dive... and IMO it is a looker.
Very, very tempted. Still sitting at a reasonable price point and I tend to wear my Aurora Ti a lot.

Only just found this thread as I'm usually lurking on the sub £200 pages, but I do love a microbrand! Seems like they are more popular than ever. Nice to see a few I wasn't aware of on here, the Stratton Volante a few pages back in particular will likely be a future purchase for me, perfect at 38mm.
Here is my favourite of what I own, the Nodus Sector in Marigold. Ended up being one of those impulse buys as soon as I saw it. I bought it straight from their site in the US, and after duty and shipping came to about £440 I think, but to me it's very much worth it. Great finishing, and the bracelet using the Nodex adjustable clasp is very handy.

I didn't realise this thread existed and having spotted the Straton models (already got my eye on those), I received these two for my 40th birthday on Monday. One from my mum and the other from my partner and the kids!
Both mecha-quartz and really nice quality. I'll definitely be buying another! They have some really nice bold colours too so maybe something with a yellow or purple face next.

My latest purchase was from a British microbrands called Marlin watches. It's a similar style case to an Oris Aquis with integrated bracelet and a dial similar to a breitling super ocean.
It's a 42mm case but it really wears small as 42 is usually my sweet spot but this seems more like a 40mm.
I like it but I'm not sure it's a keeper
