The Elliot Brown HOLTON AUTOMATIC: 101-A10 is noted as an issued watch for UKSF, bearing a crow's foot and NSN marking. One owner reports the dial lume is lackluster, potentially due to the vintage aesthetic influencing the choice of Super-LumiNova. Overall, owners rate the Elliot Brown HOLTON AUTOMATIC: 101-A10 for its military provenance and issued status.
Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide 42 for its exceptional case and bracelet finishing, with sharp polished edges and a striking layered dial construction that creates a floating effect for hands and indices. The watch is noted for wearing smaller than its 42mm case size suggests, and its lume is described as notably bright. Some owners highlight the comfort and quality of the included strap, while others specifically praise the bracelet. The Seiko NH35 movement is considered cost-effective for servicing. One owner purchased the 42mm black model for €565. Overall, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide 42 highly for its impressive finishing and wearability at its price point.
