What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

The CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is widely praised for its faithful recreation of vintage details, including its dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring and pointed crown guards. Owners and reviewers note its reasonable size and the original minute hand design. However, the lume is a point of contention: some find the "faux patina" tint too gold and glossy, while others specifically criticize the mismatched lume color between hands and hour markers, with the hour marker lume described as overly shiny and convex. On balance, the CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is highly regarded for its authentic vintage aesthetic and wearability, despite mixed opinions on the lume application.

From video reviewers

The watch's accurate movement is a notable strength. A potential weakness is its relatively high price point. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water-resistance, with one reviewer suggesting it could be improved and the other not mentioning any issues with water-resistance.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve

Owners praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve's classic 37.5mm sizing, white dial, blued hands, and red power reserve indicator. Reviewers highlight the thin, well-proportioned case and the admirable, thin DUW 4601 hand-wound movement with a 52-hour power reserve. Some find the dual date display unnecessary, and the blue dial's ring date can be difficult to read. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve for its elegant design and well-executed movement.
