Love what ophion tries to do. The only downside is that there are not many review of their models and they dont update w new design very often. I would love a velos in white dial w blue numerals.
Ophion ❤wow!
Ophion looks amazing!!
Ophion designs are much more interesting.
I didn’t vote on these. Fears, wowza, looks like a Farer at 3-4 times the price. Uses ETA 2824-2, top grade, but still at 4K, terrible value proposition.
Hodinkee featured the owner, the great great great great grandson of Fears, or whatever, after being defunct for years came out punching with those prices.
Fears is awesome but nothing else outside of Breguet looks like that OPH 786 VÉLOS SINGAPORE LIMITED EDITION.

You are telling me. I love that red dial and the salmon is pure class.
Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Fears.
Geeezzz.. This one is too hard. I'm glad the poll is closed because I couldn't take the pressure!!! Love both of these and I'll marry both if that is allowed!!!!! :)))
