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.

Ferro AGL 2 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Ferro AGL 2 Automatic for its well-executed microbrand design, featuring a color-matched big date complication at 12 o'clock and sandwiched indices with superluminova. The watch is noted for its 42mm brushed stainless steel case, 11mm thickness, double-domed sapphire crystal, and a grippy onion crown with a smooth locking mechanism. It offers 100m water resistance and comes with an Italian leather strap, all powered by a Swiss Ronda 5040B quartz chronograph movement. On balance, owners rate the Ferro AGL 2 Automatic highly for its impressive feature set and finishing at the $200 price point.
