What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.

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.
