Please share your positive experiences with Microbrands.

To start with, here is the Tsao Baltimore Torsk Dive Bronze original model. This was my very first watch obsession. I was so happy when a small run was reissued. The watch had great lume, excellent accuracy, and looked awesome. Yes, I eventually sold it in pursuit of a…

Several times in my watch journey I have found that getting a new strap aliviates my itch for a new one. I just placed an order for a nice strap. How about showing your latest strap acquisition? (I'll post mine when it arrives.)

This hasn't been used in a while, so it's time to let it go. Asking $220. Used and with some light signs of wear. The OEM blue rubber strap is excellent and beautiful. I'm also including a third party bracelet (hollow end links) that I got just to see if I wanted to pull the trigger on the OEM bracelet, which I never did. I'll also include the blue leather strap shown in one of the pictures.

I don't know if there is a thread for this already. Probably not much interest in something like this. But, here it goes.

I have worn watches since I was a kid. I remember when my dad gave me a mechanical Mickey Mouse watch. I thought it was a little childish, but I wore it until it was inevitably destroyed. Since then I have always worn a watch. But that is not what this thread is about.

I'm talking about the one that got you into reading and researching about watches, with the obvious…
