What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Olympia SII

Owners widely praise the Lorier Olympia SII for its excellent value and vintage aesthetic, highlighting the robust Seiko NE88 movement and crisp chronograph pushers. The 39mm case is noted for wearing well, with its layered design effectively managing the 13.8mm thickness. Some owners prefer the hesalite crystal for its aesthetic, while others would like a sapphire option. The bracelet is described as functional but can be a hair nipper. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Olympia SII highly for its execution of a vintage chronograph at an accessible price point.

Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux

The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is praised for its vintage aesthetic and versatility, with the Aventurine Blue variant offering a unique starry dial and world time bezel. Owners note the sub-dials are small and difficult to read, and the Sellita SW510 movement exhibits rotor wobble and hand play. The $5,000 price point is a significant increase from previous reissues. Overall, owners rate the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster highly for its vintage aesthetic and unique dial options, despite some concerns about sub-dial legibility and movement characteristics.
