Reviews

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

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its 37mm case size, which owners report wears well even on smaller wrists. Reviewers note its quality bracelet and clasp, contributing to its suitability as a daily wearer with a blend of vintage and modern design. One reviewer highlights a unique grooved bi-directional bezel as an atypical but potentially divisive feature. On balance, owners and reviewers view the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH positively due to its wearability and well-executed design elements at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.

Baltic Scalegraph Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Scalegraph Classic for its excellent value, well-devised dial layout, legible contrast, and vintage aesthetic, with some finding its finishing equal to or better than more expensive brands. The 39.5mm case size is a positive point for many. However, some owners report issues with quality control, including misaligned bezel markers and moisture ingress leading to returns, with one owner finding the watches light and "toylike" with unrefined finishing. The manual-winding Sellita SW510 movement is noted. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic Scalegraph Classic highly for its vintage aesthetic and strong value proposition, despite some quality control concerns.
