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 Croft 39 GMT

Owners praise the Spinnaker Croft 39 GMT for its colorful design, NH34 GMT movement, and reasonable price, noting high-standard manufacturing on the case, bezel, and bracelet. One owner finds the 43mm case and 51mm lug-to-lug dimensions too large for the design, preferring a 39-40mm case size. A potential issue with the lume was noted by one user. On balance, owners value the Spinnaker Croft 39 GMT for its attractive design and build quality at its price point, though sizing is a point of contention for some.
