Furlan Marri Disco Onyx DiamondsvsDOXA SUB 200 II

The Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds is lauded for its striking black onyx dial, elegant lab-grown baguette diamond hour markers, and art deco design. Owners and reviewers highlight the watch's beautiful appearance and vintage charm, noting its comfortable 38mm case with hidden lugs and a slim 8.95mm profile. The manual-winding Peseux 7001 movement, decorated and considered a good fit for the slim case, is also a point of praise. However, some find the CHF 3,500 price steep for a microbrand watch with an off-the-shelf movement and case, with one owner noting this diamond-embellished version is significantly more expensive than other Furlan Marri models. The design is also noted by one source as potentially reminiscent of other brands. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds highly for its luxurious dial and diamond indices, despite some reservations about its price and movement origin.

The DOXA SUB 200 II is praised for its comfortable wearability, with its 44mm case and shorter lug-to-lug making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its new fumé dials are a notable aesthetic feature. Reviewers and owners note the inclusion of a Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve, an area where some alternatives offer longer durations. The watch's Milanese bracelet is also highlighted as a potentially divisive feature, and the lack of on-the-fly clasp adjustment is a point of criticism. The DOXA SUB 200 II is priced at $1,690 on rubber. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the DOXA SUB 200 II's comfortable wearability and attractive fumé dials, though some criticize its increased size and power reserve compared to alternatives.
