I have an Oster edition (silver dial, blue hands and and markers) Czapek Antarticque. This watch on the blue rubber strap looks so good, and wears so well. The movement is a pleasure to view. I have handled the Faborgue de Cracovie. This is a spectacular watch with nice wrist presence and fit. I am a big fan of the Laurent Ferrier Traveler and the Galet micro rotor series. I do not care for the styling of the integrated bracelet sports watch. The recent straw colored Galet introduced at the recent Geneva show looked gorgeous in pics.
The starting prices of the LF are really high, and they have branded a sense of exclusivity with these prices. I do think the LF watches I have seen on the secondary market are sitting a long time, and their prices are really falling. I love cars and especially Porsches, but I find the microengraving of the rotors of some of the LF models with details of LF's driving experiences at LeMan rather shallow and absurd.

I don't know much about L.Leroy, but from the pictures, they seem to be "classically" styled dress watches.

They are beautiful, but I'm a Czapek guy from a stylistic standpoint. They have a definite modern edge that I'm more fond of.

A Laurent Ferrier is by far the most interesting watch of these 3
BY FAR
Really can’t compare LF with the 2 others

Which comparisons make the brands incomparable?
