What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Arsenale 37

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Venezianico Arsenale 37 for its superb execution and value, highlighting its thin 8.95mm case and excellent finishing for its sub-$1000 price. The dynamic dial, featuring Côtes de Genève, is noted as a positive design element. Some owners desire a smaller diameter and half links for the bracelet, and the strap-changing mechanism is described as difficult. One reviewer points out the lack of lume and visible screws fastening the bracelet, while another notes the seconds hand can become invisible under certain lighting conditions. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale 37 highly for its impressive finishing and thin case at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's compact 37mm case is a notable strength, fitting almost every wrist perfectly. A weakness is the somewhat lacking lume brightness, which may be a drawback for some users. Reviewers disagree on the lug-to-lug length, with some finding it too short and others not mentioning it as an issue.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
