Studio Underdog Desert Sky

Does anyone have any personal experience of this brand/watch as I'm considering buying one in the near future as I really like the aesthetics and design?

I've recently started getting an interest in micro brands and feel like this might be a good entry point along with something potentially from Mr Jones.

Thanks in advance.

I had one of the 2nd run, its was the Mint Choc Chip. I really liked it, felt good quality and was a fun watch. I ended up selling it to fund a Sinn but I do miss it.

Thanks for that, I also found a thread from last year on the same subject that seemed quite positive so will be going to have a look at them in person on Friday and may well end up buying one.

I have been buying them since day 1 and love them, I ended up with so many that I am now looking to move some of Richards core stock pieces on to a new home, its a shame as they are unworn, once you see them you will love them, on another note after my recent trip to Japan, I purchased a Kuoe Royal smith another good watch.

Well I was quite impressed with our visit to the Doghouse, their enthusiasm about the brand and what they're trying to achieve was very refreshing.

While the technical side around the movement might not be overly innovative or advanced, that is the nature of micro brands as I understand it and I felt good enough about that to buy a Guava which has a completely different aesthetic to anything else I own. Although I wasn't too keen on the mesh strap to opted for a taupe leather one as an alternative.



I can see why people collect them and since I originally set out with a Desert Sky in mind, one of those may well be added to the box at some point in the future.

I like that. But stupid question probably, what do the numbers round the outside mean?

It's a chronograph so those are the timing marks. On a lot of watches like a Rolex Daytona you'd see them on the watch bezel. Funnily enough that was one of the things I really liked about the design.

Ah got it. Was thrown by the base1000.
