Lorier Hyperion SIIvsWolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII for its vintage aesthetic, with specific mentions of the glossy black dial and tasteful text. The finishing on the case is also highlighted as excellent, and the bracelet is found to be comfortable. One owner notes the Miyota 9075 movement as a standout feature for a GMT watch under $800. However, drawbacks include the Hesalite crystal, which can warp the view at the dial's edge and scratches easily, and the GMT hand is described as small and difficult to spot. One user also reported the winding action as not smooth with significant crown resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hyperion SII highly for its vintage charm and value, particularly for its GMT functionality and case finishing.

The Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic is praised for its striking two-tone color, bold green dial, and vintage aesthetic without feeling faked, with owners appreciating its quality and customer service for the price. Reviewers and owners note its comfortable wearability and a nice beads of rice bracelet with plenty of micro-adjust and a cool clasp, alongside a box sapphire crystal with underside anti-reflective coating. Some find the finishing unremarkable and are put off by the push-pull crown, while one owner reported a dud mecaquartz before receiving a good quality second unit. The Miyota 8315 movement is adjusted to ±15 seconds per day in France, and the steel bracelet's finish did not match the watch as well as the rubber straps for one reviewer. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic well for its value and retro aesthetic, despite some reservations about finishing and specific component execution.
