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.

Sternglas Taiga GMT

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Taiga GMT for its finishing and value, highlighting the yellow GMT hand as a distinctive touch. However, some find the GMT markers lack legibility, and the original NATO strap is considered poorly made. The 42mm case and 52mm lug-to-lug measurement are points of contention, with some finding it too large for smaller wrists. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Taiga GMT for its attractive finishing and price point, though legibility of the GMT function and case dimensions are noted as areas for improvement.
