What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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 well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

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.

Wolbrook Skindiver II Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver II Automatic for its retro aesthetic, comfortable 40mm wearability, and legible dial with faux patina, with the brushed finish, drilled lugs, and included Beads of Rice bracelet and tropic strap being highlighted. The watch features a Citizen/Miyota 8315 movement, adjusted in France to ±15 seconds per day, offering a 60-hour power reserve and 200m water resistance with a box sapphire crystal. Some owners note the 20mm strap size as potentially problematic, and Wolbrook's policy of not honoring the warranty on resold watches is a significant criticism. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Wolbrook Skindiver II Automatic highly for its compelling retro design and solid build at its price point.
