What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

anOrdain Fabrik GMT

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Fabrik GMT for its striking purple lacquer dial. Some enthusiasts, however, feel it departs from the brand's signature enamel dials and Scottish heritage. The watch is considered good value at £1350 GBP, featuring a Swiss LJP movement and a German-made dial. One owner noted the 38mm case size felt small on an 8.5" wrist. Overall, owners rate the anOrdain Fabrik GMT highly for its unique dial and perceived value, despite some feeling it deviates from the brand's core identity.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. No weaknesses were cited by multiple reviewers.
