What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners and reviewers widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its faithful homage to the original, noting the dial markings and bezel alignment. The polished steel case is a point of discussion, with some finding it incongruous for a military tool watch and others appreciating its utilitarian capabilities. The "faux patina" lume is described as too gold and glossy by one reviewer, while another finds the "QUARTZ" text and new logo "vulgar" compared to classic designs. On balance, owners and reviewers value the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historical accuracy and tool watch aesthetic, despite some reservations about modern design choices and price.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
