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.

Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Vintage Valjoux

The Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Vintage Valjoux is widely praised for its faithful vintage-inspired design, featuring flat-top pump pushers and drilled lug holes, and is considered an excellent value under €2K. Some reviewers note the faux patina indexes can appear too yellow. The 38mm steel case with extended lugs wears larger than its diameter suggests. The Chronoking Mecaquartz, specifically, is highlighted for its textured dial, sunken subdials, and overall dimensions that make it punch above its $579 weight. On balance, reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Vintage Valjoux highly for its vintage aesthetic and strong value proposition.
