Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax

Owners widely praise the Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax for its excellent value, legible dial, and comfortable wearability despite its 43mm size, with some regretting selling theirs. The watch features 200m water resistance and an all-brushed finished case. However, some owners express concerns about current pricing being too high, with one noting a preference for 22mm lugs over the 20mm found on the watch. Overall, owners rate the Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax highly for its value and legibility.

From video reviewers

The petrol dial is a strong point. The price point is significant.

Louis Erard 2300 Sport Chronograph

Owners and reviewers highlight the Louis Erard 2300 Sport Chronograph's lightweight titanium case with satin finishing and polished bevels, which makes its 44mm size feel less cumbersome. The watch is noted for its retro-modern aesthetic and unique dial designs, with one owner appreciating the addition of a moon phase complication and its practical alternative to a dress watch. Reviewers point out that its 50m water resistance lags behind modern alternatives, and one found the rainbow minute track too subtle. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Louis Erard 2300 Sport Chronograph well for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability in titanium at its price point.
