What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sea-green sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm, 10mm thin case. The Top Grade ETA 2893-2 movement offers hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. Reviewers note the bronze crown, intended to develop patina, as a potentially unpopular design choice. Overall, reviewers consider the Farer GMT Automatic good value at its price point, highlighting the dial and case proportions as key strengths.
