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.

Aevig Thule GMT

Owners widely praise the Aevig Thule GMT for its 70s-inspired design, lightweight titanium case with a hardness coating, and the accurate NH34 movement running at 1-2 seconds fast per day. The watch also features fantastic AR coating, a quick-release bracelet, and excellent customer service. Some wish for sharper case angles and polished details to enhance its dressier appeal, and macro photos suggest potential irregularities on the hour markers. Overall, owners rate the Aevig Thule GMT highly for its vintage charm and practical features at an affordable price.
