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.

Tissot Telemeter 1938

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot Telemeter 1938 for its vintage-inspired design, handsome dial finishing, and the value it offers as a mechanical chronograph. The automatic Tissot Valjoux A05.231 movement, with its 68-hour power reserve, is noted positively, and some owners describe the movement as feeling "alive." The watch features a polished stainless steel case, monopushers, and a double-sided anti-reflective coating. However, the 42mm case size is frequently cited as being too large for the retro aesthetic, with many wishing for a smaller variant, and its 30-meter water resistance is considered poor. The pusher feel is described as sharp but slightly stiff, and the average accuracy is reported at +6 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Telemeter 1938 highly for its attractive vintage design and good value, despite concerns about its case size.
