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.

LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION

Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its attractive designs, heritage feel, and value, with specific models highlighted for their legibility and manageable sizes. One owner finds the 40mm moonphase chronograph complete calendar mesmerizing and versatile at around $1700, while another appreciates the 38mm World Timer's looks and blue hands. A drawback noted across different models is limited water resistance, with one owner selling their watch due to this, and the World Timer disc requiring manual adjustment for daylight saving time in some areas. On balance, owners rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition, despite some limitations in water resistance and functionality.
