Farer THREE HAND SERIES IIIvsResco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless

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.

Owners widely praise the Resco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless for its intrinsic toughness, superior underwater usability, and clean, subtle case and dial designs, with the traditional diver look and destro crown option being particular highlights.

Some owners report accuracy ranging from +4/-4 seconds per day to approximately -9 seconds over 7 days, and one enthusiast considers the price of around $2000 for the fixed bezel model without a bracelet to be high. On balance, owners rate the Resco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless highly for its robust build and thoughtful design elements like the destro crown.
