Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners find the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1's dial visually appealing with blue and gold accents, but also too cluttered with multiple dial rings. The Sellita SW510 BH M Elaboré movement is considered solid, though not top-tier. The $5,000 price point for a microbrand using a serial movement is questioned by some owners. On balance, owners are split on the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1, with some appreciating its aesthetic and movement while others find the dial too busy and the price point high for a microbrand.
Owners widely praise the Lorier Olympia SII for its excellent value and vintage aesthetic, highlighting the robust Seiko NE88 movement and crisp chronograph pushers. The 39mm case is noted for wearing well, with its layered design effectively managing the 13.8mm thickness. Some owners prefer the hesalite crystal for its aesthetic, while others would like a sapphire option. The bracelet is described as functional but can be a hair nipper. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Olympia SII highly for its execution of a vintage chronograph at an accessible price point.
