What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Beaufort Aerotimer

Owners widely praise the Beaufort Aerotimer for its handsome, high-contrast salmon dial and museum-quality finishing, creating a sharp dress field watch with excellent legibility and a crisp California dial. One owner notes the power reserve is closer to 30-34 hours than advertised and finds the 11.45mm thickness slightly noticeable, while another would change the strap. Lume on the 3 and 9 o'clock markers is reportedly poor. Overall, owners rate the Beaufort Aerotimer highly for its vintage style and beautiful craftsmanship at its price point.

Sugess Tourbillon Master SU8002

Owners widely praise the Sugess Tourbillon Master SU8002 for offering a genuine tourbillon complication at an accessible price point, making a high-end complication attainable. The dial is described as beautiful, evoking a Moser aesthetic, and legibility is considered superb by one owner. However, concerns exist regarding the long-term durability and serviceability of the Chinese-made Seagull ST8230 movement, with some questioning its longevity for the price. The winding stem is noted as feeling flimsy, and the strap and buckle are considered chunky. Quality control can be inconsistent, though customer service is reportedly excellent. Overall, owners rate the Sugess Tourbillon Master SU8002 highly for providing an impressive tourbillon complication at an unmatched price.

From video reviewers

The value proposition of a functioning tourbillon at this price point is the strongest cited strength. Reviewers imply potential compromises in other areas to achieve this low cost.
