  1. For super cheap, check out Sheffield. Really nice looking watches for around $200 with mechanical movements. https://sheffieldwatches.com/products/allsport-1-auto
  2. Awesome pickup, these are great!
  3. New Formex Stratos completely surprised me as well. Probably my favorite watch of either event. I didn't get good photos but it's incredible in person.
  4. SēL Instrument Watches. Just incredible engineering. Hopefully if you went to Hours + Minutes, you stopped by and talked with Andrew. Not sure there a better engineered watch out there. Seriously, badass. The Omni Diver MkII is pretty giant at 46mm, but is tested to 10,000 meters. The new Xos 42 is a more manageable size at 42mm, and probably the one I'll end up getting. The FTX field watch is great as well, but that Xos has my name on it.
  5. Probably on the edge of affordable at any 1k, but I REALLY like these Lōci Pacific Coast Highway. They also have a quartz version for cheaper. I think I like the blue Monterey Bay and the black Big Sur the best.
  6. Intersect is also having an event that same weekend. Big watch weekend in Austin. I'll be there.
  7. That's going to be an incredible piece! Wow
  8. Anyone into Salt & Vinegar chips needs to give Hal's a shot. Best I've had.
  9. Was Mark's in the old church? I went there 25 years ago and it was incredible. Was sorry when that closed.
  10. This is pretty amazing. Guilloché MOP in white. Available for$659 on Kickstarter. Selten Watches.
  11. This is the guy I mentioned several weeks ago. I think he runs track as well and then just started football this year.
  12. Another really nice looking microbrands - Belhamel. Current pre-release pricing is under $400 if you sign up for the 10% discount. Some really nice specs (39mm and 300m of wr) along with very nice detailing like applied indices, SuperLuminova BW9, nice beveling on the case and the bracelet. If I was looking to buy a new microbrand I'd be looking hard at this.
  13. Absolutely, I tend to get a little overly excited about watches and bore most people. Happy to include additional information about the watch and the brands. Selten was mentioned previously. They are about to launch their Moonphase on Kickstarter on the 24th. The guilloché MOP dial is something else. I think it's being launched at about $550. https://seltenwatch.com/
  14. To get this back on track with affordable watches. Austin's own DuFrane Watch Company. This is the Mabry.
