What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph's airplane-inspired dial design and the comfortable, soft leather strap with a no-break-in clasp. However, one owner notes that the case, crown, and glass crystal fitment left much to be desired, feeling cheap, and the mineral glass is prone to scratching. The watch is considered overpriced for its features, though appealing when found on sale. On balance, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph appealing for its unique dial and comfortable strap, despite concerns about case finishing and the mineral crystal.

Bremont MBII

The Bremont MBII is praised for its striking, high-tech pilot's watch aesthetic, reassuring heft, and quality feel, featuring an anti-shock system and customizable barrel. Owners note its condition can be excellent with minor hairlines, and it is presented with all original boxes and papers. A drawback cited is its 38-hour power reserve compared to newer movements. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Bremont MBII affordable and a good representation of the brand.
