Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

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.

Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD

Owners widely report the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's movement winds smoothly, and the 36mm case, while small, does not feel cheap. Reviewers note the gold PVD coating, paired with black dials and applied Breguet numerals, evokes a vintage aesthetic. One owner points out the acrylic crystal, while another reviewer flags the Hangzhou micro-rotor movement as rattly and loose on the wrist. The movement features a gold-toned rotor, blue screws, and pink jewels, and the case has vertical brushing on the bezel and circular brushing on the lugs. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's vintage aesthetic and smooth winding action, despite some concerns about the micro-rotor movement's rattle.
