So how do I come to some of these micro brand watches listed on my pages offered for sale…. As I am so bored and disgusted with the games that all the major brands have been playing with watch collectors and investors (reserved for only “snakeeyes” because he is just brilliant) I have been buying watches from micro brands to see the quality and build of these lesser known brands. My 32 years in watches leaves me with some experience that I can say I have seen quality from very poor to excellent…. Some have been fantastic like Farer, some not. I thought this watch reminded me of the Omega Olympic Limited edition from the past Olympics…. These watches are very well constructed and are impressive to me. I offer many of these brands for the next while to make space for some new micro brands…. This brand Farer gets 2 thumbs up for construction, value and aesthetics. farer.com is their website
The story behind this watch:

CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY
The GMT hand is given an elegant application, created in pure skeleton form in a fresh green it punches out against the black matte dial. The outer 24-hour clock numerals are set into an outer band in Astronaut silver that reaches out right around the curved dial edging, finishing with a fine second detailing track.
