Linde Werdelin 3 TimervsWolbrook Skindiver Automatic

The Linde Werdelin 3 Timer is widely appreciated for its versatile GMT function, allowing for tracking three time zones, and its unique Biformeter case design with attractive finishing. Reviewers highlight the dial's concentric circle pattern and the ease of adjusting the GMT hand in one-hour increments via the bi-directional bezel, noting the ETA 2893-A2 movement's smooth winding. Owners and reviewers acknowledge the watch's aggressive design and utility, including 300m water resistance and easy strap changes, though some find the 44mm case chunky. The price, ranging from $5,700-$6,300, is considered high by some, particularly given the non-COSC certified ETA movement, and concerns about resale value and dated aesthetics are raised by one owner.

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm for its vintage-inspired design, compact 38mm size, and tool-like aesthetic, offering good value for its price. The watch features ridiculously bright and long-lasting lume, a clean dial, and a Miyota 9039 no-date movement. Some owners find the push-pull crown a drawback, while others note the clasp and some bracelet links can feel sharp. Opinions are split on the bracelet design, with some finding it confusing and others praising its articulation and micro-adjustments. One owner found the 40mm case felt larger than expected. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm highly for its vintage aesthetic and tool-watch appeal at a reasonable price.
