Seestern S450 Ocean StarvsHorage Supersede Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Seestern S450 Ocean Star's Yachtmaster-style case and flawless bracelet finishing, with one owner noting the ST2130 movement keeps good time. The bezel action is described as having individual notches but feeling like a friction bezel, while another owner flags the bezel and crown action as smooth with perfect alignment. Lume is a point of contention, with one source describing it as a nice cool blue with ice-white application, while others note it as weak or not matching Prospex standards, despite using BGW-9. The watch is considered a "big boy" ideal for larger wrists (19cm+), potentially too large for 17cm wrists due to its size and non-tapering bracelet. Overall, owners rate the Seestern S450 Ocean Star highly for its build quality and finishing at the price point, despite some reservations about its size and lume intensity.

The Horage Supersede Dual Time is widely praised for its technically impressive, 98% in-house micro-rotor GMT movement, thin 10mm case, and 39.5mm size, along with excellent finishing and a comfortable bracelet. Owners also note its robust 200m water resistance and 904L steel construction. Some reviewers find the GMT sub-dial illegible, and one owner reported a bezel alignment issue requiring repair, while another flagged the date setting as potentially confusing. The $8,000 price point is considered high by some, though others view it as exceptional value for the movement and build quality. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Horage Supersede Dual Time highly for its innovative micro-rotor GMT movement and high level of finishing at its price point.
