Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Alexander James Watches A6 Reverie for its pilot-style design, sterile dial, and value, with some noting excellent case finishing and unique dial colors. However, opinions on pricing vary, with some finding it high while others deem it competitive, especially for a 35.5mm case size. One owner reported issues with bracelet brushing not matching the watch head and a poorly stamped clasp, while another flagged splotchy lume that fades quickly and a seconds hand that misses minute markers. Overall, owners rate the Alexander James Watches A6 Reverie highly for its distinctive pilot aesthetic and strong value proposition, particularly for those seeking a smaller-cased watch.
The anOrdain Model 2 is widely praised for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, with owners comparing its quality to traditional Japanese urushi dials. Reviewers highlight the dial's custom typeface and syringe hands, as well as the simple, rugged 36mm steel case inspired by field watches. The manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement is noted for its smooth winding action. Some minor criticisms include the lack of a running seconds hand and a minute track, and the AR coating's glare. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and excellent value.
The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
