What people say

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

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material and detailed case finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain's handmade enamel dial is a notable strength, praised by multiple reviewers for its unique, subtle color shift. A potential drawback is the relatively modest water resistance of 50 meters, which may be a trade-off for the watch's focus on aesthetics. Reviewers disagree on the lug-to-lug fit, with some finding it comfortable and others noting it's somewhat large.

Serica Réf. 5303 PLD

Owners widely praise the Serica Réf. 5303 PLD for its sophisticated design and refined finishing that exceeds its price point, noting its ability to blend dress and tool watch aesthetics and wear thinly under cuffs. One owner reports the screw-down crown has loosened during wear, raising concerns for dive-use integrity, while another questions the practicality of the no-deco dive scale for specialized diving. Reviewers find the 39mm case wears slightly small and note the mesh bracelet feels dainty for a military-themed watch. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Serica Réf. 5303 PLD highly for its elegant finishing and versatile design that punches above its weight class.
