On balance, owners and reviewers find the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig gold enamel white to be a highly regarded timepiece, particularly for its design and presence at its price point.

Praesidus DD-45

The Praesidus DD-45 is lauded for its detailed vintage-inspired design and solid finishing, with reviewers highlighting the impressive aged indices and hands on the "Patina" version and a well-finished 38mm steel case.
