What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetics and a 40mm dial size suitable for smaller wrists, with one owner noting it keeps excellent time. The watch is described as a classy, under-the-radar timepiece with simple elegance, and its cases feature rounded bezels and straight lugs reminiscent of pocket watches. Some owners find it overpriced, especially considering it historically did not use in-house movements, and one user would not pay full price, suggesting used deals. One owner reported their Portofino Automatic stopped working after being dropped, requiring a two-month repair. Overall, owners rate the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino highly for its clean aesthetics and wearability on smaller wrists.

Sartory Billard SB04

Owners widely praise the Sartory Billard SB04 for its unique, tech-inspired, and highly customizable dials, with many describing the craftsmanship and physical depth as "next level" and a "true masterpiece." The watch is noted for its modern wearing experience and light-catching qualities, with one owner calling it a "gorgeous piece." Some owners find the steel casebacks slightly sharp due to deep laser cutting, and one notes the hands can be difficult to see depending on the viewing angle. The Sartory Billard SB04 is powered by the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sartory Billard SB04 highly for its exceptional dial artistry and customization at its price point.

From video reviewers

The dial's textured finish and color shift are highlighted as a key strength. The bracelet's perceived lack of refinement and end-link fit are noted as a drawback. Reviewers disagree on the case size, with mentions of 35.9mm and 40mm.
