CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue WatchvsVaer G2 Meridian GMT

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.

The Vaer G2 Meridian GMT is praised for its vintage-inspired design and affordability, featuring a domed sapphire crystal and 150-meter water resistance. Owners note the applied indexes and hands are finished with Grade A Super-LumiNova BGW9. One owner reports the GMT hand lags by ten minutes, suggesting a potential quality control issue or need for adjustment, while another mentions the quartz movement requires resetting main hands for cross-timezone travel. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Vaer G2 Meridian GMT a good-looking, affordable travel watch, with its design and value being key attractions despite minor functional considerations with the GMT hand.
