CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2

The CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 is praised for its build quality, utilitarian capabilities, and classic design, with owners appreciating its historical connection to the UK Navy and its suitability as a tool watch. Some find the fixed spring bars a drawback, limiting strap choices. One owner noted average finishing and a chipped polish. The CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 is a 41mm automatic diver with 300m water resistance. On balance, owners view the CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 positively for its heritage and robust tool-watch nature, despite some reservations about its price and finishing.

Glycine Combat Sub

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub for its exceptional thinness, with sources noting case thicknesses around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, perfect proportions, and a refined aesthetic that avoids homage designs. Many highlight its significant value, especially at discounted prices, and its solid build quality. Some owners report an inconsistent power reserve and sub-par lume that can be difficult to read at night, while one owner noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its blend of wearability and value.

From video reviewers
