I had a Lander that I sold about a year ago. It’s a solid watch and the craftsmanship is good. The brass that they use (usually on the crown) will patina with time which I actually really enjoyed the uniqueness of. I sold it for 1200 with an extra strap so all in all I paid about 300 for 2+ years of use, not too shabby for a micro.

Any specific questions? I’ll do my best to answer.

Nice! How do you feel this will watch will hold up in the longer term? That’s always been the question for me when approaching micro brands at this price point

I've had my eye on the Farer Lander for some time but no first hand experience. Love their designs!

Opps sorry i read wrong! My bad. In my experience, i had luck finding some victorinox auto with valjoux 7725 movements for around 800

Farer is a British microrbrand, if that helps

As a sometimes-poster of my watches let me introduce you to a new brand and acquisition called "AERONOM" from Germany.

Saw it as a recommendation and was intrigued and have it now.

Here some details:
- Automatic Movement
- Caliber 8217 with 42 hrs Power reserve
- 41,5 mm dial in a 46 mm case of stainless steel
- date window at 3 o'clock
- black diamond at 12 o'clock
- 24 hrs indicator at 9 o'clock

It's one of 200 produced and even though it's heavy and a 46 mm case is big but nice to wear
