What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain The Pink Dial Project

The anOrdain The Pink Dial Project is praised for its in-house vitreous enamel dial featuring custom typography. It is powered by a Sellita SW200-1 movement and priced just over $1,300. The Model 2 MKII variant includes a minute track and seconds hand, enhancing its practicality as a daily wearer over the MKI's minimalist design. Overall, reviewers highlight the unique enamel dial as a key distinguishing feature of the anOrdain The Pink Dial Project.

Seiko King Seiko KS1969

The King Seiko KS1969 is praised for its Grand Seiko-level finishing and a slim 9.9mm case, with one owner noting it is indistinguishable from new and includes original packaging. However, the $3,100-$3,200 price point is widely questioned, with some finding the looks pedestrian and the branding jarring. Accuracy from the 6L35 movement is noted as +15/-10 seconds per day, and some owners feel the new case shape, dial colors, and end links deviate from the classic KS aesthetic. On balance, owners and reviewers are divided on the King Seiko KS1969, with the high price and modern design choices being the primary points of contention.

From video reviewers

The slim case profile under 10mm and compact lug-to-lug dimensions provide a comfortable fit. The dial's modern appeal and the collection's homage to vintage pieces are highlighted. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses or points of disagreement.
