    That’s impressive what Heron did with that scratch resistance.

    @JasonTheWatchGuy Před 5 měsíci +23

    The RZE is the one for me. Every time I've reviewed one from them, it's left me wanting to buy it.

    Loved the MAEN and would be my choice. Couldn’t help a childish snigger at Duckworth name. Jack & Vera popped up in my head!

  • @paulhopkins1905

    The RZE reminds me alot of the Oris Pro Pilot X. I really like it

  • @markwright2674
    @markwright2674 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Great video - thanks! A lot of fun discovering new brands for me (except for the Maen, which has been on my wish list for a while). Absolutely love the Maen - I do believe it's the Brooklyn 36, however, not 37

  • @rodiow369
    @rodiow369 Před 5 měsíci

  • @HansWatches
    @HansWatches Před 5 měsíci +2

    Great video as always, thanks. The Maen would be my first choice, followed by the Heron and Hemel.

  • @michaelkeefer4293
    @michaelkeefer4293 Před 5 měsíci +2

    I think my favorite by a narrow margin is the Duckwork Prextex. I also, really like the Heron, Hemel and RZE.

  • @matthieuboyer7676
    @matthieuboyer7676 Před 5 měsíci +3

    Isotope is the ONE for me. Like its overall look and colour, attention to details… Would be interested to see more models from this brand within a next review maybe? Thanks for the video !

  • @adamfletter5842
    @adamfletter5842 Před 5 měsíci

    Well, thanks a lot. Now I've got four additions to my already-too-long wishlist. That Hemel wins for me. Awesome video!

  • @moneymikz
    @moneymikz Před 5 měsíci

    Yes more different interesting and colorful dials plz

  • @Spongefov
    @Spongefov Před 5 měsíci

    what was really nice about the iscotop watch, was noticing that the indentations on the screw in caseback weren't just circles, but cutouts of the iscotope logo - subtle detail but functional as well

  • @stu632
    @stu632 Před 5 měsíci +7

    Great stuff Russ!
    Heron Marinor - Everything about it, the logo, look of quality and scratch resistance - 8/10
    Hemel - Amazing, let it glow, let it glow, let it glow - 8.5/10
    RZE - I like it, similar to the Erebus, lot of dial space, but all round great and on the fly micro - 8/10
    Duckworth - Very nice, gives me Farer vibes - 8/10
    Isotope - I like it but the seconds hand is a bit off, shape and colour doesn't match the dial, I'd prefer different colours - 7.5/10
    Maen - Stylish and sophisticated, this brand is doing great things - 8.5/10

    • @MrMagoo-hf8yk

    Great 6 watch set! 🎉

  • @michaelberke9709
    @michaelberke9709 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Love that Heron….all of them really.
    Microbrands to consider reviewing: Straton and Jack Mason. Both impressive design and value for money.

  • @zigzaguzzi2665
    @zigzaguzzi2665 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Two amazing microbrand you should (could?) review are echo/neutra: Italian made with swiss movement. Amazing products with amazing quality. I got the Cortina chronograph and it is just fantastic. The other is Dan Henry. I know some people are complaining about them "copying" some models but MAN they are doing sooo nice watches. I got the 1975 model and it is gorgeous! They took the real deal to normal people. 300 usd for amazing watches. You can even choose smaller diameters also (finally!!). They even have a warehouse in Europe so we can spare those customs taxes! The 1972 "maverick" model is sick!! Seriously I am in love with this brand.

    A really excellent show (watched it a second time on the big TV in the living room when the wife was out). A very, very nice selection. I take it back by the way regarding the Heron it is seriously pretty and I love the picture of Popeye on the caseback.

    @tarentules Před 5 měsíci +1

    Love seeing the RZE one in here. I am a absolute huge fan of their watches, I have 3 different ones from them. Im a sucker for anything titanium and them having some great ones made in Ti for pretty good prices just hits several marks for me. My favorite is the ascentus GMT, I got the new bracelet with the on-the-fly micro adjustment on it and it made it even higher on my list of watches. Wear it at least 2-3 days out of every week.

    • @mikeyblueeyes8449
      @mikeyblueeyes8449 Před 5 měsíci

      I have the RZE 38mm titanium field watch in obsidian black it's a very tough and durable piece of kit I'm absolutely chuffed with it!:)

    I like the look of the MAEN but not keen on the name! Love the Isotope watches. Will definitely look to get one one day!

  • @02grak
    @02grak Před 5 měsíci +2

    I have been dailying the Brooklyn for 3 months since I got it. It is by far the best watch I've owned. The dimensions are prime, it wears so well you forget its there, and the dial spared no bit of attention to detail. Oddly enough, it is marketed as a sport watch by Maen but it is sportable in pretty much any situation.

  • @FatherSonWatchTalk
    @FatherSonWatchTalk Před 5 měsíci +1

    I love them all! Great picks! Our wives should have tea while we hit the boutiques. Then again we would probably be in big trouble when we got back 😅

  • @cougarbatterie
    @cougarbatterie Před 5 měsíci +4

    I'm offended Russ! As a Frenchmen, you did not review not one french micro brands 😢. You have to checkout "Charlie Paris" with the Concordia model. You have "Lip" that have excellent diver watches and finally checkout "Beaubleu" with their circular hands. Last but not least is "Yema" with their iconic chronograph watches. Scour more my friend. Cheers mate and my holiday greetings to everyone.

    • @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR

  • @gunner9010
    @gunner9010 Před 5 měsíci +1

    The Heron looks especially nice. I came across a new Ball watch. The Marinemaster GMT Moon Phase (42mm) with easily movable GMT hand and 2 moon phase complications. I'm pretty tempted on this one.

  • @4DR14NCR41G
    @4DR14NCR41G Před 5 měsíci +1

    Have to say I’m a huge fan of MAEN Watches especially the Manhattan 37 and now the Brooklyn after watching this, a Lot of watch for the money especially now with the Sellita SW200-1 movement upgrade option, only thing putting me off pulling the trigger on a salmon dial date is the import side

  • @gordtulk
    @gordtulk Před 5 měsíci

    There are several true gmts that have a quick set date (sellita movement?)
    And I think a true - adjustable hour GMT is a traveller GMT.
    One that lacks that functionality is known as a desk GMT.
    Great content as always.

    Hemel had big problems with the fully lumed version and were not happy with the quality control process .
    They ended up paying everyone back.
    Shame as it looked a great watch.
    But he was very up front with keeping us all in the know,so big up Hemel 👍🏻
