What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds as a top budget dress watch, highlighting its vintage aesthetic and upgraded in-house F6222 automatic movement which offers hacking and hand-winding. Reviewers note the case finishing, including brushed sides and a signed crown, contributes to a premium feel for its price point. Some owners find the 40mm case with its 45-46mm lug-to-lug measurement potentially too large for smaller wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds highly for its vintage design and upgraded movement at an accessible price.

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.
