What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1972

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
