What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Serica Ref. 1174 Parade

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.

From video reviewers

The satin black dial with guilloché and sunburst finishes is a notable strength. The non-screw-down crown limiting water resistance to 100 meters was mentioned as a potential concern.

Oblvlo IM Tourbillon

Owners widely praise the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon for its skeletonized dial and carbon fiber case finishing, noting it looks more expensive than its price. However, some owners find the minute markers difficult to read, impacting time setting, and accuracy averages around -10 seconds per day. Concerns also exist regarding long-term reliability and parts availability for Chinese tourbillons. On balance, owners rate the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon highly for its visually striking aesthetic and perceived value, despite practical readability and accuracy drawbacks.
