What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey — Hao Colorways

Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey — Hao Colorways is widely praised for its exceptional value, featuring a striking porcelain dial, heat-treated blued hands, and case finishing comparable to Swiss watches. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight the remarkable dial and handset, and the boutique-level execution. The Peacock SL3006 automatic movement operates at 4Hz with a two-day power reserve and has a distinct winding feel. Some find the 12mm thickness slightly disproportionate, and the push-pull crown can be stiff. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey — Hao Colorways highly for its impressive porcelain dial and finishing at its price point.
