Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch for its bombproof, no-nonsense, toolish design and military connection, with the PVD finish being a liked feature. Reviewers highlight its highly legible, classic dial and durable, tool-like PVD-coated case that shows remarkable resilience. The Ronda 517 quartz movement is appreciated for grab-and-go reliability and good seconds hand accuracy, with one owner noting it aligns closely with indices. The 45mm case size and fixed spring bars are seen by some as positive for NATO strap wear. Some owners find the £700 price steep for a quartz watch, comparing it unfavorably to similarly specified alternatives. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch highly for its rugged military aesthetics and reliable tool-watch functionality at its price point.
On balance, owners have mixed feelings about the Dan Henry 1937, with some finding its dial less appealing than expected while others praise its understated military aesthetic.
The Dan Henry Gold 1962 Racing Chronograph features a mecha-quartz movement, specifically the Seiko VK63, which is appreciated by reviewers. The watch's two-tone steel and yellow gold finish may be a "hit or miss" from Dan Henry, suggesting it may not be universally well-received. Reviewers disagree on whether the mecha-quartz movement is a drawback, with one reviewer noting it may not appeal to those seeking a purely mechanical movement, while others may not have mentioned this as a concern.
