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.

Zelos GT

The Zelos GT is lauded for its value and bold design, with owners highlighting the cool power reserve meter and superb 3-point micro-adjust bracelet. Some owners find the case and lugs could hug the wrist better, and the bracelet is noted as being quite long, requiring significant link removal for a 7.1-inch wrist. The dark green dial, while inspired by Lamborghini, is described as appearing mostly black. Overall, owners rate the Zelos GT highly for its value and the quality of its bracelet at the price point.
