Re: The Microbrand Store
A carefully curated list of microbrand watches,
with discount pricing and free shipping.

We have a number of discount code offers that we prefer not to publish publicly but are happy to share privately from time to time. If you signed up for our newsletter at https://microbrand.store/pages/newsletter-sign-up, we shared some hefty discounts with our subscribers just a few days ago that are good through the 22nd for our spring sale.
Above and beyond that, if you ping us on Facebook Messenger via the store at https://m.me/microbrand.store and mention you're a forum member here, and let us know the watch you're considering, we can often offer a private discount. We can't always as some models won't have a margin we can play with but we can on most of our stock. Even better if you want to ping us re any bargains we can recommend as we have a few watches we can potentially sell at cost sometimes. Nothing wrong with them and they do sell, but sometimes we look to clear certain inventory faster so we can reinvest in something else. Feel free to ask about some of the discount codes too if you like.
Discounts aside, we have a few items we don't list in the store that we usually sell privately to collectors. For example I have one or two models with serial # 000 or 001. Not sure if they'll interest folks here but if so, again, you just need to ask. We are always happy to chat about our watches.

Absolutely. That or titanium is the norm, with 316L stainless steel being the most typical.
I wouldn't be too happy if it were bronze since bronze can leave green marks on skin, and you don't want copper chloride to stay in continuous contact with your skin.

That’s why I have a hard time with micro’s. Most are too big. The ones that go 40mm are successful, but most want to be in the 42-44mm range competing with each other.

7.5"/19cm wrist here. Have to admit my sweet spot is 44mm-46mm, and I like to wear 42mm-47mm. I think as a result we probably have a bit of a skew in the store to mostly 42mm+ timepieces, since I end up picking what stock to carry. Am working on adding more options in the 40mm range, and we've been working on a custom watch for the store that'll be 38mm. We do have a few circular timepieces at 39mm like the ST19-based Mercer Lexington Bi-Compax chrono, but certainly need to add more.

I prefer the back of that watch more than the front. Lovely to get exhibition case backs for an ST19. Lot of fun to play with it and watch what's going on.
The ST19 I wear is a Marloe Lomond Chronoscope Vintage Coffee, also with a fantastic exhibition case back. It's slightly bigger (as am a 42mm+ guy.)
