What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 for its creative dial design, good contrast, and British Racing Green color, with some finding it wears smaller than its 41mm size. One owner appreciates its lack of a date window and comfortable wear on a 6.5” wrist. However, some users note Marloe's 20mm lug width can make models appear top-heavy, and a significant price increase has been observed across the brand's offerings. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 highly for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
