Owners report high quality and good experiences with Lilienthal Berlin watches, with some praising the leather strap as the best they've felt at its price point and noting the slim profile and German-made quality as good value on sale. However, community members flag issues with customer support and shipping times, with one owner experiencing exceptionally poor customer service regarding an order delay. There are mixed opinions on dial and hand finishing, with some suggesting unfinished edges due to machine stamping, while others consider the Miyota quartz movement good. On balance, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 Original Leather Light Brown Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America highly for its design and perceived quality at the price, despite concerns about customer service.
Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its exceptional dial printing and fine details, such as the subtle crown logo, and its unique blend of traditional Roman numerals with modern design elements. However, the long lugs on some variants are a point of consideration, with some owners finding them to wear larger than expected, potentially impacting comfort on smaller wrists. Overall, owners appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its distinctive aesthetic and refined finishing.
