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.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
