Damn, lots of Anordain fans aren’t the most gracious losers from the comments. I liked both of the other final 4 losers much more than Anordain. I guess I’d have to see one in person but aside from pretty coloring on the dial, it’s about as bland looking as possible. What else is so great about them? Zelos does way cooler unique dials from what I’ve seen.

The James Bond Omega SMP is what got me into watches. Omega will always be a favorite but I’ve really been in love with Zenith for a while. Love the designs, materials, and super cool movements. My ceramic Defy El Primero 21 is my favorite watch that I’ve had.

Baltic is a great brand, but Formex is still definitely better!

Formex by far

I’ve handled Monta watches and they’re nice but boring looking and didn’t have the accuracy I wanted. Just got a Formex Leggera and it’s really on the level of my Zenith watches in materials/finishing/looks with the best accuracy I’ve ever seen (+0.2 seconds/day).
