AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic

The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.

Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm for its vintage-inspired design, compact 38mm size, and tool-like aesthetic, offering good value for its price. The watch features ridiculously bright and long-lasting lume, a clean dial, and a Miyota 9039 no-date movement. Some owners find the push-pull crown a drawback, while others note the clasp and some bracelet links can feel sharp. Opinions are split on the bracelet design, with some finding it confusing and others praising its articulation and micro-adjustments. One owner found the 40mm case felt larger than expected. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm highly for its vintage aesthetic and tool-watch appeal at a reasonable price.
