What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Fabrik GMT

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Fabrik GMT for its striking purple lacquer dial. Some enthusiasts, however, feel it departs from the brand's signature enamel dials and Scottish heritage. The watch is considered good value at £1350 GBP, featuring a Swiss LJP movement and a German-made dial. One owner noted the 38mm case size felt small on an 8.5" wrist. Overall, owners rate the anOrdain Fabrik GMT highly for its unique dial and perceived value, despite some feeling it deviates from the brand's core identity.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. No weaknesses were cited by multiple reviewers.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
