Reviews

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

Buyalov A67 Bronze

The Buyalov A67 Бронза receives praise for its 1967-style case, bezel, and bracelet, along with unique dial colors like fume-orange and sunburst teal, and excellent SuperLuminova C3 lume. Owners appreciate the bronze case's ability to develop a pleasing patina and its radial brushing that offers a unique 3D shine. The Seiko NH38 movement is noted for accuracy within 5 seconds per day and reliability. However, some owners criticize the loss of Russian character with the Seiko movement and find the dial logo distracting. The watch is also described as thicker and wearing bulkier than desired, with some finding the date window busy and its trapezoid shape unconventional. On balance, owners rate the Buyalov A67 Бронза highly for its distinctive dial colors and case design at its price point, despite reservations about the Seiko movement and case thickness.

Fortis Marinemaster M-44

Owners praise the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 for its gorgeous appearance, significant wrist presence, and "crazy lume." Reviewers highlight its excellent build quality, COSC-certified movement accuracy of 0 seconds per day, and surprisingly comfortable 44mm case despite its 14.4mm thickness. One reviewer noted the 21mm lug width as a minor drawback, wishing it were 22mm. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 highly for its exceptional build quality and COSC-certified accuracy.
