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 The Panda / Reverse Panda

Nivada Grenchen The Panda / Reverse Panda is widely praised for its value, offering direct callbacks to a watchmaking heyday with nice dials and cases for the money. Owners appreciate the finishing on the watch itself, with one reporting the manual-wound movement running at +1 second per day and a decent 63-hour power reserve. However, some owners desire a larger case size, and the clasp finishing on the Forstner-manufactured Flat-Link bracelet is considered subpar by one owner, though the beads of rice bracelets are generally well-regarded. On balance, owners rate Nivada Grenchen The Panda / Reverse Panda highly for its attractive vintage-inspired design and strong value proposition.
