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.

Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD

Owners widely report the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's movement winds smoothly, and the 36mm case, while small, does not feel cheap. Reviewers note the gold PVD coating, paired with black dials and applied Breguet numerals, evokes a vintage aesthetic. One owner points out the acrylic crystal, while another reviewer flags the Hangzhou micro-rotor movement as rattly and loose on the wrist. The movement features a gold-toned rotor, blue screws, and pink jewels, and the case has vertical brushing on the bezel and circular brushing on the lugs. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's vintage aesthetic and smooth winding action, despite some concerns about the micro-rotor movement's rattle.
