Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A

The Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A is built around the reliable Seiko NH35A automatic movement, with owners reporting accuracy around +/- 5 seconds per day. The 36mm case size is noted as being a custom build, incorporating parts from AliExpress and an Invicta Pro Diver, with specific mention of gold hour and minute hands. On balance, owners find the Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A to be a satisfactory custom build, appreciating the reliability of the NH35A movement and the familiar styling.

Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph

The Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph is widely praised for its beautiful cream dial, which some describe as champagne-like, and its luxurious case finishing for the price. Owners appreciate its well-proportioned design, pleasing dial with well-chosen font weights, and retro feel, with one noting it remains a favorite in their rotation and has easy band swapping. The watch features a 38mm cushion case, a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, 100m water resistance, and American assembly. One owner noted the 42mm size wears small for a larger wrist, and the "ghost" crown position is mentioned. It includes two signed-buckle straps and a domed sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph highly for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and value.
