Studio Underd0g SalmonvsTissot Telemeter 1938

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Salmon for its unique, two-layered dial inspired by salmon skin, featuring a radially brushed metallic orange-pink lower part and a coarse, silvery dégradé shimmer upper part. The watch is powered by a decorated Swiss mono pusher movement with silky smooth winding, blued screws, and anthracite bridges, which one owner finds impressive. Accuracy is reported at ±5 seconds per day. Some owners find the £1700-£1800 price point difficult, especially given styling similarities to previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Studio Underd0g Salmon highly for its distinctive dial design and well-finished, smooth-winding monopusher movement.

The Tissot Telemeter 1938 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired aesthetic, handsome dial finishing, and value as a mechanical chronograph. Owners and reviewers highlight its balanced dial, the "old-looking" vintage logo, and the attractive two-tone dial variations. The Valjoux A05.231 movement is noted for its 68-hour power reserve, though one owner describes its feel as "alive" and "like its engine." The double-sided anti-reflective coating and the way sunlight interacts with the hands are also appreciated. However, the 42mm case size is frequently cited as being too large for a retro-inspired watch, with many wishing for a smaller option, and its 30-meter water resistance is considered poor. The pusher feel is described as sharp, though slightly stiff, and one reviewer found the Tissot branding on the dial and crown excessive.
