Ferro Distinct 2

The Ferro Distinct 2 is noted for its well-polished finish and a screw-down crown for improved grip. One owner reports the flat sapphire crystal lacks anti-reflective coating and the dial has no lume. The watch is available with quartz Ronda, Miyota automatic, or ETA automatic movements and features a 100m water-resistant stainless steel case. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Ferro Distinct 2's improved finishing and practical screw-down crown as key strengths.

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.
