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.

Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONOGRAPH

Owners widely praise the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONOGRAPH for its classic styling and excellent fit and finish. The dial is described as mesmerizing and legible, balancing class and complexity, contributing to comfortable wearability. One owner finds the column wheel chronograph and moon phase complication a good value around $2k, though notes the case finishing can appear homogenous and the chronograph hour counter sometimes does not reset perfectly. A specific variant's 3 bar water resistance is noted as a limitation, restricting it to less demanding environments. One owner identified the movement as a Valjoux 7751. Overall, owners rate the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONOGRAPH highly for its attractive dial and value proposition, despite minor finishing and water resistance caveats.

From video reviewers

The polished steel case finishing and the elegant dial with Roman numerals and complications are praised. The bracelet's perceived lack of solid links and the overall high polish of the case were noted as potential drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the value proposition compared to other chronographs in the market.
