What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Bremont MBII

The Bremont MBII is praised for its striking, high-tech pilot's watch aesthetic, reassuring heft, and quality feel, featuring an anti-shock system and customizable barrel. Owners note its condition can be excellent with minor hairlines, and it is presented with all original boxes and papers. A drawback cited is its 38-hour power reserve compared to newer movements. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Bremont MBII affordable and a good representation of the brand.
