What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Zelos Tuxedo (sellita)

Owners widely praise the Zelos Tuxedo (sellita) for its surprising quality and versatile design at its $629 price, highlighting the deep starburst dial and orange accents. The Sellita SW215 hand-wound movement, sapphire crystal with inner AR coating, lume, water resistance, and Horween leather strap are also appreciated. Frustration exists within the community regarding Zelos's limited production runs leading to quick sell-outs and scalping. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Tuxedo (sellita) highly for its impressive build and aesthetic appeal at the price point.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
