What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition is praised for its attractive emerald green sunburst dial with gold accents and its comfortable wearability. Owners note the dial looks gorgeous in the right light, and some find it fits better than other models. The watch features a 40mm steel case, a domed sapphire crystal, and 300m water resistance, powered by the 6R55 movement with a 72-hour power reserve. However, some find the watch wears top-heavy due to its density and case design, and the bracelet clasp is criticized for stamped parts and limited micro-adjustment. The retail price of €1,700 is considered high by some, with sales recommended. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the dial's beauty and the watch's comfortable fit, despite some reservations about its weight distribution and bracelet clasp.
