Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise Farer's design and finishing at its price point, with many highlighting the impressive fit and finish comparable to Oris. The Milanese bracelet is noted as more comfortable than the original strap, though one owner ranks it a tier below Serica's. The Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement is standard. On balance, owners rate the Farer Milan/New York (35mm Tonneau) highly for its design and finishing at the price, with customer service also being a significant positive.
Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its refined, uniquely shaped 36mm case and comfortable wearability, with many highlighting the stunning guilloche-style dial. Some owners note the Miyota automatic movement's rotor can be audibly noisy. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its unique case design and dial finishing at the price.
The watch's vintage aesthetic and value for money are praised. The bracelet's refinement and perceived rattle are noted as a drawback.
