Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473vsFarer LISSOM

Owners and reviewers praise the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473 for its smooth winding action, refined manual-wind movement with a five-day power reserve, and a 10-year warranty. The 38mm case and blue dial with tan strap are noted for their aesthetic appeal, though one reviewer observed it sits a bit high on the wrist. The watch is priced at $4,400, a significant increase over Sellita-based models. Some owners express concern over quality control, with one reporting a non-functional watch out of the box and another noting a jumping minute hand issue with a related movement. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473 for its movement and build quality, despite some reported quality control concerns and a higher price point.

Owners widely praise the Farer LISSOM for its beautiful and bold designs, with multiple sources highlighting its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate the vibrant dial colors, intricate detailing like the subsidiary seconds display, and the horizontally brushed case side. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is noted, with one owner reporting a breakage after overwinding but receiving excellent customer service. Some owners find the 38mm size a bit small for their wrist, and the numeral orientation on the dial is a minor point of discussion, with one owner observing blue numerals appearing nearly black in certain light. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer LISSOM highly for its attractive, slim design and value proposition.
