Furlan Marri Disco Onyx DiamondsvsNOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date

The Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds is lauded for its striking black onyx dial, elegant lab-grown baguette diamond hour markers, and art deco design. Owners and reviewers highlight the watch's beautiful appearance and vintage charm, noting its comfortable 38mm case with hidden lugs and a slim 8.95mm profile. The manual-winding Peseux 7001 movement, decorated and considered a good fit for the slim case, is also a point of praise. However, some find the CHF 3,500 price steep for a microbrand watch with an off-the-shelf movement and case, with one owner noting this diamond-embellished version is significantly more expensive than other Furlan Marri models. The design is also noted by one source as potentially reminiscent of other brands. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds highly for its luxurious dial and diamond indices, despite some reservations about its price and movement origin.

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date is widely praised for its high-quality stainless steel case, beautifully executed dial with a subtle slope and matte/metallic finish, and a well-integrated date window. Owners and reviewers consistently commend its design, finishing, comfort, and accuracy, with one report of +2 seconds per day. However, legibility is a mixed point, as some find the thin silver hands difficult to read against the grey dial in certain light, while others report no issues. The dial's shininess and the crystal's curvature are noted distractions, and the hour and minute hands are perilously close in length. The stock strap was too large for one reviewer's wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date highly for its refined design and excellent finishing at its price point.
