Never heard of either of these brands, so I had a ton of fun reading about them =). I have a hard time voting for any chronograph that doesn't have a 12 or 24 hour totalizer. Astor and Banks is more my style, but reviews out there say that the finishing on the hands and dial of Furlan Mari is excellent.
I like Astor, but I voted Furlan for the design characteristics.
As a proud owner of a Astor + Banks Sea ranger I am definitely biased but everything about this watch from the case design to the bracelet is perfection, it’s subtle and stylish the perfect mix of field and dive. Highly recommend to any one. Also punches WELL above its price point.
Another really tough one...
Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Furlan Marri.
