Serica Ref. 1174 ParadevsBremont Supermarine 300M

The Serica Ref. 1174 Parade is widely praised for its elegant proportions, with a compact 35mm case and slim 8.6mm thickness, making it sit close to the wrist. Reviewers and owners highlight its impressive finishing, complex case with brushed and polished surfaces, and cohesive dial textures. It offers robust 100-meter water resistance, a Soprod M100 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, and a unique eclipse-shaped case. However, the strap and buckle are frequently cited as the weakest points, with some noting rough finishing that marks the leather, and the lug width necessitates custom straps. One reviewer questioned the dial's finishes, suggesting other textures might better suit the case. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Serica Ref. 1174 Parade for its distinctive design and robust build at its price point.

The Bremont Supermarine 300M is praised for its comfortable 40mm and 42mm case sizes, with owners noting the 42mm wears well on smaller wrists due to its lug design. One owner highlights the 13mm thinness of the 40mm case, considered compact for a 300m diver. The watch is priced at $1375. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Bremont Supermarine 300M for its wearability and compact dimensions, especially for a dive watch.
