CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch

The CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch is widely praised for its simple, clean, and classic look, with owners considering it a classy and comfortable field watch. Its 38mm tonneau case is seen by some as a cool retro piece representative of original MOD specifications, though others find this size too small for larger wrists. The watch is noted for keeping accurate time, with one owner reporting it as practical for everyday wear. It features a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and a Ronda 715 movement. A limitation mentioned is the fixed lugs, which restrict strap versatility. Overall, owners rate the CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch highly for its classic military-inspired aesthetic and reliable timekeeping at an affordable price.

Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1

Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin L1 for its clean Bauhaus-inspired design, good value especially when on sale, and quality feel, with some noting its scratch-resistant case and crystal. The Sellita SW200 movement and sapphire crystals are also highlighted. However, a significant number of owners report abysmal customer service, long shipping delays, and questionable quality control, including issues with alignment, accuracy, and detached crowns. Some find the recessed crown difficult to use for hand-winding, and one owner noted lume was only on the hands. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin L1 highly for its aesthetics and value, tempered by consistent complaints about customer service and reliability.
