Re: “Vintage” Micro
Looking through old pics today and found some of these, some from like 10-15 yrs ago! I remember getting some quartz Orsas on ebay directly from the guy in Canada for like $120 back in maybe 03-04?

Nice.
I miss my Zinex and, especially, my UTS 3000.

This is the Orsa I really wanted back then. Heck, I'd still buy one.

Re: “Vintage” Micro
I think he is still selling watches. I like some of his pieces and they were of a decent quality. I think we he stated telling customers to pound sand they all took their money and left.

Re: “Vintage” Micro
i was largely over my micro phase by the time i found dwc, but early on i went through the o7-lm1, the first enzo mechana, the korsbek oceaneer, and all the kobolds and uts models (still have two of each). also still own three aegirs and just picked up my first mkii, so guess i can't really say i'm over the micro phase

I like the progression you went through in the short course of this post.jtbenson wrote:i was largely over my micro phase by the time i found dwc, but early on i went through the o7-lm1, the first enzo mechana, the korsbek oceaneer, and all the kobolds and uts models (still have two of each). also still own three aegirs and just picked up my first mkii, so guess i can't really say i'm over the micro phase
Re: “Vintage” Micro
I think this was pretty much the path that many of us took. Maybe a shift here or there but we all have been thru many of these (I still haven’t tried aegir).jtbenson wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 6:38 pmi was largely over my micro phase by the time i found dwc, but early on i went through the o7-lm1, the first enzo mechana, the korsbek oceaneer, and all the kobolds and uts models (still have two of each). also still own three aegirs and just picked up my first mkii, so guess i can't really say i'm over the micro phase

Re: “Vintage” Micro
Ahhhhh yes, vintage micros. I have handled or owned so many of them. I actually wish I had a few of them back that have been sold over the years. It was fun to see the history of the micro start up companies in the beginning.
I have waaaaay too many photos in my archive of micros. I'll post some of my favorites.....
Dwatch
Enzo Mechana
Halios Puck
Halios Holotype (Jason's original)
Zinex Trimix
Zinex Nitrox
Zenton V45
Kremke Subzilla
Orsa Sea Angler
Ocean7 LM-7
Korsbek Ocean Explorer
Kenzo Nautilus

Re: “Vintage” Micro
Here are some of the smaller/micro brands that I've owned. There were many more, but these were all that I could find.

That watch had one of the best crowns in the business with easy engagement and plenty of threads - zero issues. I think it was "Fuller-tech" or something IIRC.

Re: “Vintage” Micro
My father found an Orsa field watch on the ground! It was the one with the full-lume dial. It was destroyed, so I found one with a black dial to replace it.
Re: “Vintage” Micro
Wow this thread really takes me back to many of the micros I had or wanted back in the day!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: “Vintage” Micro
This forum has the members with the best taste in diver's! Thanks to you guys I found this company, and ordered the watch :D will arrive hopefully today!
