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.

Spinnaker Fleuss GMT

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT for its aesthetic appeal, comfortable and light wearability, and value, especially when discounted. The textured blue dial, applied lumed markers, and sapphire crystal with AR coating are highlighted as stunning features. Owners also note the dial is very well lumed and the bracelet has helpful quick-release tabs. However, the 43.3mm case size is criticized by some as being too large, and the Beads of Rice bracelet is described as "jingly jangly" with a pressed clasp and a clasp that isn't finely finished. Some users flag the internal bezel rotates too easily. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT highly for its aesthetic success and value at its affordable price point.
