Bremont Supermarine 300MvsLorier Merlin

The Bremont Supermarine 300M is praised for its comfortable 40mm and 42mm case sizes, with owners noting the 42mm wears well on smaller wrists due to its lug design. One owner highlights the 13mm thinness of the 40mm case, considered compact for a 300m diver. The watch is priced at $1375. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Bremont Supermarine 300M for its wearability and compact dimensions, especially for a dive watch.

Owners widely praise the Lorier Merlin for its vintage-inspired 37mm case, heat-blued hands, raised numerals, and hesalite crystal. The watch is noted for its comfortable wear, with some finding it wears large despite its size and even thinner on a two-piece strap. Drilled lug holes and a locking bezel are also appreciated features. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day, while others do not specify. Some owners find the dual-crown design unappealing or the case chunky, with the 37mm size feeling small for a dive bezel watch, though others find it perfect for smaller wrists. The supplied strap and its hardware are considered cheap by one owner, and the bezel action is described as light and hollow. A desire for a sapphire crystal option at the price point is mentioned by some, while others prefer the hesalite for its vintage look. On balance, owners and the community rate the Lorier Merlin highly for its authentic vintage aesthetic and comfortable wear.
