What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1937

On balance, owners have mixed feelings about the Dan Henry 1937, with some finding its dial less appealing than expected while others praise its understated military aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The Dan Henry Gold 1962 Racing Chronograph features a mecha-quartz movement, specifically the Seiko VK63, which is appreciated by reviewers. The watch's two-tone steel and yellow gold finish may be a "hit or miss" from Dan Henry, suggesting it may not be universally well-received. Reviewers disagree on whether the mecha-quartz movement is a drawback, with one reviewer noting it may not appeal to those seeking a purely mechanical movement, while others may not have mentioned this as a concern.

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.
