anOrdain Model 2 FumévsGrand Seiko SLGH017

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Fumé for its stunning, hand-crafted enamel dial, with one owner reporting near-zero accuracy deviation. Reviewers highlight the dial's unique, deep, and rich Fumé effect, noting each is distinct. Some owners find the £1500 price point high, and one questions its field watch classification due to a "designery font," suggesting it leans more towards a dress watch. A reviewer points out the flat crown feels unfinished and clashes with the case's organic shape. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Fumé highly for its exceptional enamel dial craftsmanship.

Grand Seiko SLGH017 owners and reviewers widely praise its impeccable finishing on the applied markers and handset, and its lightweight titanium case and bracelet. The high-beat 9SA5 movement is noted for its approximately 80-hour power reserve, with accuracy figures reported by owners ranging from +4 sec/day to +5 to -3 seconds per day, though some owners express concerns about accuracy deviating significantly from specifications. Some find the "Night Birch" dial stunning and appreciate the Evo 9 case design, while others note the dial texture appears less pronounced on its matte black surface and criticize the handset's proportions and lack of lume. The Grand Seiko SLGH017 is priced at €10,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGH017 highly for its lightweight titanium construction and impeccable finishing.
