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.

Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE

Owners widely praise the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE for its beautiful and legible dial, offering significant complications for its value. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day and another stating it is their most accurate watch. Some find the chronograph hour hand placement inconvenient, and the date hand can occasionally overlap the hour hand. The watch is noted as being thick, typical of Valjoux-based chronographs, and its 3 bar water resistance limits it to less demanding environments. One owner observed scuffs on the case of their example, and another found the blue on the band and numerals less vibrant than pictured. Overall, owners rate the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE highly for its impressive complications and aesthetic appeal at its price point.
