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 WT Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic for its attractive retro aesthetic, comfortable wearability, and good value, with many highlighting its striking green dial, box sapphire crystal, and well-executed Beads of Rice bracelet. Some reviewers note the Miyota 8315 movement is adjusted to ±15 seconds per day, and one owner found the steel bracelet's finishing did not match the watch as well as the rubber straps. A minority of owners express disappointment with the lume, bezel wobble, and a perceived lack of finishing refinement, with one reviewer ultimately not recommending the watch. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic highly for its vintage charm and comfortable bracelet at the price point.
