One reviewer would prefer a screw-down crown for added peace of mind, despite the 100-meter water resistance. Overall, reviewers rate the Fears Garrick (White) highly for its elegant design and intricate movement finishing.

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic for its timeless design, stunning dials with depth and brilliance from multiple lacquer layers, and pure class. Reviewers note the 42.4mm case size and the in-house caliber 52011 movement, which offers a 7-day power reserve and features a power reserve indicator.

One owner reports the watch stopping after 13-14 hours off the wrist, contrary to the claimed power reserve.
