This is a tough one honestly since I love both brands and think both are doing interesting things (Fears esp. modernizing old models from the family company + some really cool collabs . . . and then AnOrdain just brings it with their striking and hard to produce dials . . . and as much as I'm sometimes frustrated by the lack of availability for AnOrdain that does contribute to how much I covet them . . . for some other companies I think such tactics are marketing but in this case I believe it's a function of just being a small company that cares about art and precision). Going with AnOrdain ultimately.

It was really tough. Own both brands and they are two different watches and approaches altogether. Though how awesome would it be to see an AnOrdain X Fears Great Britain collab? Insta-sellout.
Such a tough one here, but I suppose that's what finals are all about. My heart says Fears, my head says AnOrdain.
Kind of surprised to see it's not closer to 50/50!
Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to AnOrdain.

If I had to speculate, my guess is it came down to price. For me Fears is a brand one has to handle to feel the difference, but even then, many cannot get over $3K+ for a watch with a largely basic movement.
This is just too difficult once again. Love these too brands!!
