What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer THREE HAND SERIES III

Owners widely praise the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III for its attractive dial colors, particularly the salmon and red variants, and its well-proportioned 36mm case. The watch features a textured dial, screw-down crown, and 100m water resistance, powered by a La Joux-Perret G101 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners find the designs generic compared to previous releases. Reviewers note the minute hashes can be difficult to read in certain lights, and the included strap is considered too thick and stiff. Overall, owners rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III highly for its vibrant dials and well-proportioned case.

Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical significance and homage to the 1953 original. However, one owner notes criticism regarding the main hour hand being a 12-hour hand on a 24-hour dial, which hinders its intended use and compromises the bezel's functionality, leading to a return. On balance, owners value the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical connection, though a functional critique exists regarding its hour hand implementation.
