anOrdain Model 2vsNOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver

The anOrdain Model 2 is widely praised for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, with owners comparing its quality to traditional Japanese urushi dials. Reviewers highlight the dial's custom typeface and syringe hands, as well as the simple, rugged 36mm steel case inspired by field watches. The manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement is noted for its smooth winding action. Some minor criticisms include the lack of a running seconds hand and a minute track, and the AR coating's glare. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and excellent value.

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver for its beautiful design and sub-8mm thin case. However, some find the dial darker in person than depicted in photos, and the manual-wind movement's lack of a quick-set date is noted as a minor inconvenience. Owners are split on the legibility of the hour and minute hands, with some finding them too similar, especially in low light due to the minimal lume. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver highly for its elegant, slim profile and attractive design, despite minor usability quibbles.
