What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Spinnaker Bradner GMT

The Spinnaker Bradner GMT is praised for its awesome lume and comfortable wearability, with one owner noting the rubber strap is very comfortable and the beads of rice bracelet fits well on smaller wrists. Some find its 15mm thickness and bold colorway may not appeal to everyone, and one owner views it as more of a casual GMT with tool-watch styling than a diver. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Bradner GMT highly for its value and comfortable wearability.
