Reviews

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

Furlan Marri Flyback

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Furlan Marri Flyback for its stunning, vintage-inspired sector dials and luxurious case finishing, with many highlighting its classical 38mm size and comfortable wearability due to its cowhorn lugs and short lug-to-lug distance. The Sellita AMT5100 manual-wind movement with flyback function is noted as a key feature, contributing to its value proposition. Some reviewers find the pushers to be on the small side, and one review mentions the case thickness exceeding 13mm, leading to a bulky feel despite mitigating factors. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Furlan Marri Flyback highly for its exceptional vintage design and finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Furlan Marri Flyback features a custom Swiss-made movement with a column wheel and flyback complication. The 18K rose gold plating adds a premium touch. The watch is available in three dial variations.

Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux

The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux is praised for its desirable vintage aesthetic and comfortable wearability, with reviewers highlighting its flat-top pump pushers and drilled lug holes. Owners note the Aventurine Blue variant's unique starry dial and world time bezel. Some find the sub-dials small and difficult to read, and a reviewer points out that the faux patina on the dial indexes may appear too yellow. The watch features a manual-wind Valjoux 23 movement and a 38mm case. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux for its faithful vintage design and practical features at its price point.
