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.

Seiko Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition features a 40mm case, 300m water resistance, and a 72-hour power reserve from the Calibre 6R55 movement, with a new grey bezel insert and a wave-patterned silvery-white dial. Owners find the watch attractive and the large case wears well without feeling bulky. However, some consider the price of €1900 for a 6R54 movement with an accuracy of +25/-15 seconds per day to be too high, and the production run of 6000 units is not seen as a true limited edition. Overall, owners find the Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition aesthetically pleasing with good wearability, but express concerns regarding its value proposition and movement accuracy for the price.
