Buyalov A67 BronzevsRaven MCTP - 42mm Double GMT

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.

Owners report the Raven MCTP - 42mm Double GMT's 42mm case wears larger than expected, closer to 43mm, and the 16mm height, while tall, has not deterred owners, though it is heavy on the bracelet. Reviewers note impressive fit and finish for the price, with crisp brushing and sharp case details, and the substantial bracelet and ratcheting clasp offer a premium feel, but the clasp's thickness might be a concern. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Raven MCTP - 42mm Double GMT offers excellent value with strong finishing and a robust bracelet, despite its substantial wear size and thickness.
