MKII Key West

Owners widely praise the MKII Key West for its true gilt dial and modest 39mm case size, making it a comfortable daily-wearer. Criticisms include the absence of a lumed bezel and cyclops, extended wait times, and a price point of $1600 USD. On balance, owners consider the MKII Key West a holy grail watch due to its vintage-inspired gilt dial and wearable dimensions.

Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G

Owners widely praise the Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G for its striking "Root Beer" aesthetic, with reviewers calling it a "fully-realized design aesthetic" that "flat-out rules," noting it looks better in person than in photos. The watch features gold-toned hands and hour markers against a matte brown and black bezel, with gold accents on the crown and bracelet center links. While the 41mm case is considered acceptable for a sports watch with its features, some owners and reviewers find the Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G to be thick and heavy, with one owner noting its weight and thickness might not suit everyone. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G highly for its compelling vintage-inspired design and the value it offers.
