Archimede Watches 1950-1vsDOXA SUB 200 C-GRAPH II

Archimede Watches 1950-1 is praised for its attractive 1950s styling and German-made Ickler case. Owners note its light weight and 9.8mm thinness, making it a versatile everyday and business-casual watch. The 39mm case features bent hands that follow the dial's curve and silver Arabic numerals that appear black in many lighting conditions, with a clean date execution. The Miyota 9015 automatic movement is standard, and the watch is priced around $660 USD. The included strap is considered mediocre and too large for some wrists, and a recurring complaint involves the inconsistent performance of a bracelet's push clasp, leading some to recommend opting for a strap instead. On balance, owners rate the Archimede Watches 1950-1 highly for its classic styling and well-finished Ickler case at its price point.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the DOXA SUB 200 C-GRAPH II for its improved wearability with a 42mm case and flatter lugs, alongside excellent finishing with sharp contrasts and a matte ceramic bezel. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability on an FKM strap and a smooth crown action, with one owner reporting impressive accuracy of +1 second per day even after accidental drops. The DOXA SUB 200 C-GRAPH II is priced between $2,850 and $2,990 USD. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA SUB 200 C-GRAPH II highly for its refined finishing and comfortable, more wearable case dimensions.
