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.

Grand Seiko SBGE277

Owners find the Grand Seiko SBGE277 gorgeous, with one owner noting their wrist size can accommodate it. The watch was purchased in Japan for $4950 USD, benefiting from a 35-year low yen. One owner expresses significant concern over reported negative experiences with the brand's New Jersey service center, fearing long wait times and subpar treatment. On balance, owners find the Grand Seiko SBGE277 gorgeous, though service center experiences are a notable concern for some.
