What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Grand Seiko SBGZ003

Grand Seiko SBGZ003 owners and reviewers widely praise its classic 38.5mm x 9.8mm dimensions and the meticulous perfection of its craft, with some calling it the sexiest Grand Seiko ever seen. The Spring Drive caliber 9R02 offers an 84-hour power reserve. Some find the dial's color off-putting, and the $57,000 price is a significant barrier for many. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SBGZ003 highly for its stunning "carved" dial and Micro Artist Studio finishing.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
