Reviews

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

Mark Time Watches M 1

Owners widely praise the Mark Time Watches M 1 for its minimalist design, excellent legibility, and striking appearance, with the blue dial configuration being a particular favorite. The red accent on the seconds hand is a well-liked detail. Despite its 42mm case, the watch wears surprisingly well, even on smaller wrists. The deep black dial offers a floating hand effect, and the second hand reaches the dial's edge. A lack of ghost date position and real bezel screws are also noted positives. Accuracy is reported to be within a minute or two. Overall, owners rate the Mark Time Watches M 1 highly for its clean design and thoughtful details at its price point.

Selten Salvage

Selten Salvage owners praise its distinctive and original design, with the bronze diver model specifically lauded for its vintage aesthetic and value. One owner highlights the green dial's Superluminova old radium lume, noting it glows green but has a short duration. Some find the design slightly gimmicky, and opinions on the bronze case patina development are mixed, with some finding it inconsistent. One user expressed a desire for a stainless steel case option. Overall, owners rate the Selten Salvage highly for its unique aesthetic and value, despite some reservations about the bronze patina and lume duration.

From video reviewers

The hand-patinated copper sandwich dial offers a unique, evolving aesthetic. The bronze case will develop its own natural patina over time. The lume on the bezel, hands, and indices is fully applied.
