I love your newer focus of microbrands Peter! You’re constantly introducing me to watches that don’t make me feel like I’d have to hurt my family to afford. Only problem is being introduced to too many of them! Gorgeous photography and outstanding writing too. Yours is truly one of the best channels out there and I know the watch community will eventually figure that out!

Touché guys. If the microbrands can do it, that just goes to show how much more the watch community is paying, for less or just for the 'Swiss made' labels, which are 60% or more made in China. The recent rise of microbrands have given the big boys a run for their money. Anyone worth their salt as a watch enthusiast or watching Peter's vids will know better. Great watches don't have to come with even Greater price tags.

The Shellback is perhaps one of the most beautiful divers ive ever seen. Nearly every design choice is one that i agree with, especially those bracelet links that give the watch some of the fun, alternating lightplay of the integrated bracelet watches. Also amazing date implementation.

I like how it “oozes Explore II vibes”, while still having its own design language. They hit that balance perfectly. If they did a version with a SW330 in it, it would be a true Explorer II-killer. As it is, it leaves very little to desire in the Exp II, unless one is really drawn to the Rolex name. I love that they’ve hardened it, too. I’d take that over easily-scratched 904L (sorry, “Oystersteel” lol) any day. Great review, Peter. Thanks for putting this one back on my radar.

At first glance I though yet another generic dive watch from a microbrand. But there are enough differences to say it has its own flavour and flair. And nicely designed, especially the funky hour hand and sandwich style dial. And the SW200 is a mighty little machine. Defo the white for me. The blue is way more generic. The white feels fresh and I like the steel bezel

Will the black version also reappear? Largely due to the fact that it is a dive watch, I didn't go for it last time. It is still a dive watch, but it is still a very likeable one! With the added improvements, the package as a whole is even more attractive (hopefully they do include the half links in that). I notice that the lumed triangle on the stainless steel bezel is narrower, as well as overall a cleaner bezel. I would have loved to see that for the blue version too. The bezels is usually where a dive watch distances itself from me. They're just too present and too toolish (and I can't imagine using them anyway), so cleaner and with more modest markings is better generally, for me. I'd still be really interested in seeing Tusenö doing a dressier version of this Shellback. I think that could be such an interesting watch. It would also be great to see perhaps another colour done in the blue dial finish, e.g. a deep murky green. But I get that dress is not where the crowd is at and it speaks volumes that this watch is so hard to forget even though it is out of my usual remit. The Windseeker also exerted a pull on me, but something held me back. It's one that I keep revisiting. I want Tusenö to do well, because I can easily imagine them providing something I just can't say no to, but I'm still not sure if I will go for one of the existing ones.

Checked out this video. I'm a big fan of good, quality Micro brand watches and have bought at least 25 in the past 5 years. Most are gone from my collection, sorry to say. But this Tuseno is driving me crazy. How? I've been looking at it for days now. I can't get over the design, specs., and price. I get lots of emails about watches for sale. Everything from Rolex, Omega, and everything else. I just went through at least 10 emails of great watches. Each email listed about 15 watches. Most are Rolex and Omega. But when looking at these watches I didn't see anything more interesting than this Tuseno. There is no way I should be buying this watch with my bloated watch collection. But I will be there on Dec. 14 at 8 Am MT (US) to get this one!!

There is one thing I'm not particularly keen on, it's the way they designed the hour hand.
