The Visitor is very uniquely shaped. I like it very much especially the concave back, very clever. Enjoy.
In my semi drunken browsing state, I missed the size and thought it was 40mm. 44mm is far too big for me and would probably look a bit ungainly on me.

Been a bit uninspiring lately, the microbrand world, but have taken a liking to this and added myself to the waiting list for a Duneshore.
Keep thinking about a brass Magrette too.
Magrette don't do brass any more. They did once when they were incorrectly supplied with brass cases rather than the bronze they were expecting. Their bronze watches are proper bronze now.Been a bit uninspiring lately, the microbrand world, but have taken a liking to this and added myself to the waiting list for a Duneshore.

The dial on that Marloe Morar reminds me of the Citizen Orca a bit.
I've had a bit of a microbrand splurge over the last oh so f*ing tedious year.
I managed to get a Helm Vanuatu from them at my first attempt - Great watch.
Since then I've ordered these KS watches for delivery later in the year :
A Vario 1918 Trench watch.
A MMI Turret (I liked the date complication and the unusual finish on the bezel).
I've also pre-ordered this one (I'd missed out at the KS prices) :
A Dailos Waveform - I've been looking for a Titanium watch I liked at an affordable price for a while and I really liked the look of this one, especially with the Teal dial, so that's what's coming.
Oh, I forgot, one of these is en-route as we speak :
Xeric Halograph Chrono - A quartz watch as I thought the style was pretty funky, but I'm not sure how much I'll wear it and the quartz is only a couple of hundred quid.

Very interesting to look at.
Thanks to this thread I ordered a Marloe Morar Sands last week.
Received the watch a couple of days later and I’m really impressed with it. Packaging was really nice and included a silicone strap, nice little booklet explaining the history of the watch and a card with the watch details and serial number. Managed to get a serial number that’s the same as my sons day and month of birth which is nice as I bought it for my Son to have when he’s old enough.
Customer service from one of the owners (Oliver) was really good too.
Thinking of ordering a Coniston Steel for myself now

I've been browsing that Xeric website and I must say... I want half of their watches! Interesting designs!

My Xeric arrived this morning (7 days from California, pretty good) and I'm very pleased with it... (apologies for the blurry camera phone shot, it's very gloomy here today).
It is (unsurprisingly) a little hard to read at a glance, but I kind of expected that.
For a £200 watch it looks nicely made and certainly isn't much like anything else in my collection.
I really like their wandering hour watch, but I think it's a little expensive (justifiably so probably) for a novelty, the Halograph Chrono, on the other hand, is a bit of a bargain (although I have seen some nasty-looking knock-offs on Aliexpress).

I'm really tempted. Any discount/refrence codes available?
