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.

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz for its authentic vintage vibe, Worldtimer bezel, and value, offering more personality than typical retro divers. The upgraded model is noted for its perfect look at its price point with a domed crystal and screwed-down crown. Some owners flag mismatched hand and marker colors, poor lume, bezel wobble, and the watch sitting high on its strap. Accuracy is described as quartz-level, and the push/pull crown has excellent friction with a smooth, 120-click bezel. On balance, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz highly for its vintage personality and value for money.
