Thank you for pointing these out Toni! They were all new to me, so discovering these new offerigns is always great fun. I loved the Soltice, what a stunner 🤩 have a great weekend my friend 🤘
Toni! Glad to see a new "Watches I'm Watching" segment led off again by the Beasties, good stuff. I like most of the watches pictured here and nice shout-out to Australia as I think what they have on offer in the watch department is underrated. Good luck on your search for a birth year watch too.
Fred, I want to thank you again for your wonderful friendship! Sorry I haven't found the time to reply to your email, but be sure I am very happy to have your friendship!
I appreciate how deep you dive. Out of these, only Reverie I was consciously aware of and it is also the key one that surprises me for potentially going out of business. I see most merit in that model out of this list. That said, if it is your style (it's not mine) than thay Collins holds great promise and probably the best value out of the lot. The other ones I find forgettable, and probably that us exactly the issue. In fact, First Stage seems to look exactly how I remember a number of chunky sporty divers. I'm sure there'll be be sifferneces betwee brands but it looks like a standard blueprinted type of style to me. All that aside, for the frugal punter there are some good deals to be had here.
Yes, I have seen the "10 year anniversary sale" text too, but 4 years without a new model doesn't sound too encouraging and the prices are the same as they were a couple of years ago (some quantities too). No love for Erroyl?
@@themicrobrandexpert which one was that again? I guess that's a no then... Yes, 4 years with no news and then an anniversary sale is suspect. Could be a push for a new lease of life. In my view they come close to being really notable and recommendable. Otherwise they risk being one of the many with a few idiosyncratic details that will surely persuade a few that share such preferences but are unlikely to make waves. There is enough there to build on.
Ohh Nooo MUST... RESIST... BUYINGG.... MORE.... WATCHES.... lol dude youre killin me these are awesome deals! each and every one!! I just added a mini grail Sumo special edition, Citizen promaster diver and an Aragon mystery box. I need help, is there a watch collectors anonymous group?? like WCA..? :) great video, too bad some of these brands are going out of business though.
On the good news: European microbrands must be going strong... On the bad news: European microbrands do NOT offer.... offers! On the news *by Toni! : microbrands around the world offer... offers, some very good ones indeed On the so and so news: (as above, but...) taxes and other fees are to be added... [damn!] On the sad news : microbrands go out of business [kind of expected, but sad anyway] Thank you for the news Toni, be well mate. PS Relio's Solstice is hell of a weirdly nice watch! PS2 Just changed the tyres of my pick-up truck, had an inspection on it, plus many expenses for the fields. No watch allowed... not even from (cheap) AliX!!!
Own the teal relio solstice from 2 years, just a beautiful watch among my 60 watches collection. An r explorer watch like but different. Go for it
Thank you for the recommendation!

Thank you, Dick, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for showcasing these watches Toni. I am looking for a reasonably priced microbrand and should find one of these to do the trick.
Fingers crossed, thank you for watching!

Actually Reverie says this: Our 10th Anniversary Sale is now on! Take a closer look here.

I really like the Solstice Teal. I'm saving for another watch otherwise I would be very tempted.
First Stage looks dope! Good for my taste!
Glad you like it!
Is that a Belhamel Contra on the top left?
Yes, it is! Stand by for its first UA-cam review ever!
Nice I picked one up a few months back. I cant wait to here what you have to say about it warts and all. I really like it.
Ohh Nooo

I must be Mastercard's favourite watch reviewer 🤣
Fine vid! Thanks
Thank you for watching and for the nice feedback!
Please tell me the brand of that Purple watch. Excellent video bytheway.
Hey, apologies - long day of partying here! I believe you're referring to one of the 4 dial variants of Quasar's upcoming release: Nebula.
Thank you so much. I'll have to pick one up.
Erroyl and Reverie are 😊😊
Glad yo like them! If your wrist is not larger than 20 cm, Reverie is amazing!

I hear you! We, Europeans, have it the worst! Be well, Stavros, always a pleasure!
I just received the Copper dial, it's a awesome watch.
Wow, enjoy it!
