What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH

The Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH is praised for its well-made construction and vintage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a 37mm case, a balanced three-register dial, and a quality bracelet and clasp suitable for daily wear. It includes a manual-wind Sellita SW510M movement with a 63-hour power reserve and offers 100 meters of water resistance in a thin package. Reviewers note a unique grooved bi-directional bezel, which is described as an atypical but potentially divisive choice for a chronograph. On balance, reviewers find the Lorca MODEL No.2 CHRONOGRAPH to be a well-made watch that successfully blends vintage charm with contemporary design.

From video reviewers

The Lorca Model No.2 Chronograph features a notable guilloché bezel that adds vintage flair to its design. The watch is powered by a Swiss Sellita SW510M manual movement, offering 63 hours of power reserve. A potential drawback is the relatively small 37mm size.
