What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer PILOT SERIES II

Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 39mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the watch pricey and note its use of grade 2 titanium. Opinions are split on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing. One owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. On balance, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its unique dial designs and excellent wearability.

anOrdain Fabrik GMT

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Fabrik GMT for its striking purple lacquer dial. Some enthusiasts, however, feel it departs from the brand's signature enamel dials and Scottish heritage. The watch is considered good value at £1350 GBP, featuring a Swiss LJP movement and a German-made dial. One owner noted the 38mm case size felt small on an 8.5" wrist. Overall, owners rate the anOrdain Fabrik GMT highly for its unique dial and perceived value, despite some feeling it deviates from the brand's core identity.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. No weaknesses were cited by multiple reviewers.
