What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Dan Henry 1945

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Dan Henry 1945 for its rugged WW2-era pilot watch aesthetic and affordable price, with many appreciating its vintage hands and smooth chronograph sweep from the Miyota 6S20 meca-quartz movement. However, some find the 41.5mm case too large and the dial overly busy with subdials and scales, and note its 13.8mm thickness is substantial for a quartz chronograph. On balance, the consensus is that the Dan Henry 1945 offers significant vintage style and value for its price, despite some reservations about its dial layout and dimensions.
