Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.
Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
