I don't consider Vostok a micro brand.. they have a long watch history, in fact they have their own "inhouse" movement

A bit OT... seeing this amphibia reminds me of this model called "Seaman", and that led to the recall of another model called "Seahum". Seaman sounds like semen and seahum sounds like cockles.

Can someone tell me what's the exact meaning of micro brand? Vfm brands?

A microbrand is a small-scale brand recognized only in a certain geographic location or by consumers in a specific micromarket or niche market(from wikipedia)

hence to say, that particular brand is consider to be part of a smaller scale company,probably due to recent involvement in watchmaking,lesser capacity in manpower/machine/capital. But with popularity of online forums,these microbrands wouldnt be recognized only in certain area but rather worldwide.

vfm doesnt restrict to any brands/big or small scale coy riao...

STEINHART is one such good example...
SMALL scale company
LIMITED workforce
LARGE popularity... ends up, frequent complaints on shipping and delivery

So Steinhart is mb???

I would put them in the range of boutique brands... only WIS will know such brands, or the awareness of such brands only exist in watch forums.

Yup, a nicer term for microbrand is boutique divers

Yup again for only WIS will noe existance of such brands

Wah lau, crazy pricing, not worth it. That case can be found easily on other micro brands... does it really justify for that value ?

why is it so expensive? its housing a 2824 right? or is it because of the certified chronometer??

becos Dreadnought was the grand daddy of boutique divers

back then, this was the only sought after brand before O7 & the others popped out
