Reviews

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

Alexander Shorokhoff Square & Round

Owners praise the Alexander Shorokhoff Square & Round - Alexander Shorokhoff Uhren for its unique, "out there" dial designs and remarkable quality and finishing for the price, with visible jewels on the movement being a particular point of appreciation. Some find certain models "ott" (over the top) and the cases significantly oversized, while others consider the 44.5mm size perfect and the style completely different from other watches. Accuracy varies, with some owners reporting +5-7 seconds/day and others -15 seconds/day. On balance, owners rate the Alexander Shorokhoff Square & Round - Alexander Shorokhoff Uhren highly for its unique aesthetic and excellent fit and finish at its price point.

Damasko DC86/2

Owners widely praise the Damasko DC86/2 for its exceptional legibility, particularly the central chronograph minute hand and the "airplane" pointer on the timer hand. The watch's ice-hardened and DLC-coated case is noted for its toughness, and the crown action is described as smooth with a solid bezel feel. However, some owners find the 14.4mm thickness substantial, and the 24-hour subdial is considered unnecessary by one owner for dial symmetry. The dial text is also seen as detracting from the aesthetic by another owner. Overall, owners rate the Damasko DC86/2 highly for its functional design and robust build.
