Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Alexander Shorokhoff Sixtythree Silver for its gorgeous appearance, state-of-the-art case finishing with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, and remarkable quality for the price. The 40mm case size is considered perfect, and the unique, assertive dial design is a notable feature, though some find the overall aesthetic "ott" or too much. Reviewers flag excessive reflectivity from the dial and crystal as a drawback, and the watch lacks luminosity. Accuracy varies, with some owners reporting figures around +5-7 seconds per day and others -15 seconds. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Alexander Shorokhoff Sixtythree Silver highly for its unique design and superb finishing at its price point.
Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetics and a 40mm dial size that suits smaller wrists. The watch is noted for its simple elegance and appealing color, with one owner reporting excellent timekeeping. However, some owners question its value, citing the use of an external movement and a price tag they find high for the caliber, leading to concerns about resale value compared to watches with in-house movements. One owner reported a significant repair time after dropping their watch. Overall, owners rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic highly for its sophisticated design and wearability on various wrists, though value perception varies due to its movement and price point.
