What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 3 Method

Owners widely report the anOrdain Model 3 Method's dial is unique, deep, and colorful, with a textured surface that plays with light. Reviewers praise its craftsmanship and elegant case, noting a slim 39mm profile. Some owners find the skinny lugs less appealing, and one forum member preferred the dial typography of an earlier model and disliked the Model 3 case. While no longer considered a value proposition due to price increases, the quality is deemed worth the cost. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 3 Method highly for its unique dial and elegant case craftsmanship.

Grand Seiko SLGW003

The Grand Seiko SLGW003 is praised for its comfortable, lightweight Brilliant Hard Titanium case, meticulous finishing, and a clean, modern dial. Reviewers highlight the new 9SA4 manual-wind movement, noting its attractive finishing, 80-hour power reserve, and accuracy of -3/+5 seconds per day. It is considered a versatile dress watch blending vintage and future Grand Seiko spirit. The €11,700 price is noted as expensive, with some questioning its value. Overall, reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGW003 highly for its elegant design and impressive manual-wind movement at its flagship price point.

From video reviewers

The slim profile of the Evolution 9 case is a key strength. Water resistance is a weakness, with figures of 50 meters and 30 meters cited. Reviewers disagree on whether the manual-wind Hi-Beat movement is a rarity or a notable addition.
