I totally agree with that. And I haven't owned any of them either.logan2z wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:31 amThey seem to be doing the early Heuer thing, I like it.

I don't think these comments Andrew correlate to the two brands mentioned by Ruggs.logan2z wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:10 amLet's be honest, the bar is pretty low. Most micros are either poorly designed poo-poo or blatant rip-offs of popular designs. Farer seems to have taken a different approach - fairly traditional but attractive designs spiced up with unique color accents. I think several of them - including the one in the video - look very nice. I prefer to stay away from micros but these guys seem to be getting a lot right.

They did briefly. I don't think they sold like the homages though. So I think they stopped making them as much.jeckyll wrote: ↑Fri Oct 12, 2018 6:56 amDidn't they do some divers way back in the day that were their own design?Jeep99dad wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 10:24 pmSteinhart...

Re: im getting bad thoughts on this Farer
These look great - I’m not a chrono guy but the GMT and manual wind versions really caught my eye. They cost more than I was expecting but the warranty is better too.
The British voice in the videos sounds like the voice on Headspace.

Re: im getting bad thoughts on this Farer
Yeah, I wasn't sure when I first opened the box, but I unwrapped it and wore it a bit, and it ain't going back. The photos (crappy iPhone) don't show it well, but the case work is amazing and flawless. And the movement is gorgeous. Hits all the right notes. As I said, I usually avoid micros, but so far I have zero regrets (and I can't see any plastic spacers).
