Lorier RooseveltvsNOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold

Owners widely praise the Lorier Roosevelt's stunning dial, precise stamping, and clean printing, with its brass case and Horween strap also receiving positive remarks. Some owners find it wears perfectly on a 7" wrist. However, the Miyota 9-series rotor is noted as being "insanely loud," and the original $800 price point is considered steep by some, particularly given the lack of lume and competition. One owner sold it for $525, highlighting it as a great deal on a sold-out item. Overall, owners value the Lorier Roosevelt for its attractive dial and case finishing, though price and rotor noise are points of contention.

The NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a limited edition of 100 pieces, measuring 40.5mm by 36mm with a slim 8.95mm thickness and wire lugs. It is powered by the in-house, manually-wound DUW 2002 movement, which provides an 84-hour power reserve. The watch is available with a silvery white dial or a two-tone dial featuring silvery white registers on a light blue ground. Owners question its value proposition at $20,500, noting it approaches the price of other high-end timepieces, though some appreciate the gold chatons in the movement. On balance, the NOMOS Glashütte Lux white gold is a niche offering with a high price point that leads some to question its value despite its in-house movement and slim profile.
