Icon6 Any microbrand owners?

I was wondering if there are any other microbrand owners here. I have had a few and sold all but one. Some were great quality and pricing and some were a big letdown. I would say Scurfa, Armida, VC, Helson and Halios were my favs.
Here is the only one I still own, it’s just a cool design and love the retro 70s color scheme.

Yea I have read a lot about the Ginualt on another forum. Seems a lot of folks really like them especially for something around the $1k price range

I own doxa, kobold, marathon, and bathys. Really disappointed with what Kobold once was and where they are today. My best friend is a big fan of Helson.

Yea I use to really like Kobold but boy did they fall off the face of the earth in recent times. Doxa to me isn’t a micro but they do make some great looking stuff and top quality.Same with Marathon. I have been eyeing one of their 36mm divers for a nice beater for awhile now. Bathes has that cool Hawaiian look going on and I have heard plenty good about them

I thought about getting one of those Dan Henry 40mm in grey, just trying to trim down the collection instead of adding more. Nice watch tho and at a good price. That Helson in white has always been a looker, nice watch

I have enjoyed Manchester Watch Works. Excellent quality at their price point (about $300).

Couple of Dan Henry pieces here, with added straps. Very happy with both of them.
