Cronos Rhombus Perlage LimitedvsThorn Thorn Titanium

Owners widely appreciate the 39mm case size and the interesting dial and case design of the Cronos Rhombus Perlage 39mm Limited (L6028), with one owner noting the absence of two lines on the lugs. However, some find the 39mm case with a 44mm lug-to-lug too large, suggesting a 38mm version would be preferable. One owner desires a matched color date wheel, a feature found on more expensive watches, and another feels the bracelet could be more substantial. Overall, owners rate the Cronos Rhombus Perlage 39mm Limited (L6028) well for its design and wearability, despite some wishing for a more refined date wheel and bracelet.

Owners widely praise the Cronos Thorn PT5000 Automatic 39mm Titanium Watch SHY036 for its value, with one owner calling it the best modern explorer homage under $170. The tool-free bracelet adjustment links are considered a game-changer, and the 39mm titanium case is noted as unobtrusive and keeping the watch under 11mm thick. The PT5000 movement's accuracy is a point of varied owner experience, ranging from exceptional timekeeping comparable to quartz, to running 2.8 seconds fast per day, or gaining 2.5 minutes over two weeks. Some owners express skepticism or disappointment with the PT5000 movement, with one finding it noisy and finicky, and another preferring Seiko alternatives. Overall, owners rate the Cronos Thorn PT5000 Automatic 39mm Titanium Watch SHY036 highly for its excellent value and practical bracelet features, despite mixed experiences with the PT5000 movement's accuracy.
