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.

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz for its authentic vintage vibe, Worldtimer bezel, and value, offering more personality than typical retro divers. The upgraded model is noted for its perfect look at its price point with a domed crystal and screwed-down crown. Some owners flag mismatched hand and marker colors, poor lume, bezel wobble, and the watch sitting high on its strap. Accuracy is described as quartz-level, and the push/pull crown has excellent friction with a smooth, 120-click bezel. On balance, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Mecaquartz highly for its vintage personality and value for money.
