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 Sport neomatik 42 date marine black

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date is noted for its well-finished, supple steel bracelet made of 145 parts and its ability to retain a minimalist Bauhaus design. It features the slim DUW6101 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and a forward/backward quick-date mechanism, offering 300m water resistance. Reviewers question its actual diving appropriateness due to the lack of a diving bezel, and its larger 42mm case size is debated as less "authentically Nomos." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date for its refined bracelet and enduring design despite its larger dimensions.
