What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Diamonds

Owners widely praise the Oris Big Crown Diamonds for its timeless design, vintage charm, and recognizable details like cathedral hands and the pointer date function. Reviewers highlight the stunning gradient dial and the "Bullseye" tuxedo dial as particularly beautiful. The 38mm case is considered versatile, and the watch offers remarkable value. However, some owners note the standard Sellita movement has a short power reserve and plain finishing, and the strap is not durable. A reviewer points out slightly imperfect Super-LumiNova printing on the hour numerals, and one owner finds the two-tone bracelet overly flashy. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Diamonds highly for its unique design and value at its price point.

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its exceptional vitreous enamel dial, custom typography, and elegant, handmade aesthetic. The dial's deep colors and light-reflecting properties are frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with crisp printing and legible layouts. One owner notes the case finishing is basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish and defined lugs. The watch is considered worth the wait and looks better in person, becoming a daily wearer for some. However, long wait times from deposit to delivery, sometimes nearly two years, are a significant drawback. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is standard with a 38-hour power reserve, and one reviewer wished the 12.3mm case was slimmer. Another owner found the case plain and the buckle thin, while also noting white hands could crowd dial numbers on a GMT variant. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting good timekeeping and another noting the watch is keeping good time.

From video reviewers

The enamel dial is a standout feature. Legibility issues were addressed by reluming the hands.
