CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Farer GMT BEZEL

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Farer GMT BEZEL for its exceptional value, unique design language, and wearable dimensions, with one owner noting its fit, finish, and quality rivaling higher-end brands. Specific strengths highlighted include enthusiastic color combinations, a vintage charm from the bubble crystal, and comfortable wearability due to its 12.5mm thickness and short lug-to-lug. The watch features a Sellita SW330-2 top-grade movement and 200m water resistance, with pricing around US$1,550 / €1,575. Some owners find the aluminum bezel less durable, and legibility on the white dial was initially a concern, though hand changes have been made. Opinions on Farer's market positioning vary, with some placing it at a luxury level and others at a more accessible tier. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer GMT BEZEL highly for its compelling blend of design, wearability, and utility at its price point.
