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 Typhoon Baldwin Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB

Owners widely praise the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB for its dial printing, date wheel, and bezel action. One owner confirmed the watch remained waterproof after five days. However, some owners report minor issues such as a slightly off-centered 12 marker or dissatisfaction with bracelet quality, while another felt the crystal was not the best but still looked great. Overall, owners rate the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB highly for its strong dial and bezel presentation at the price point.
