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.

DOXA SUB 200

Owners and reviewers widely praise the DOXA SUB 200 for its fun, vintage-inspired design, particularly its vibrant dials and comfortable beads-of-rice bracelet, with many finding the 42mm case wears smaller. The watch is frequently cited as offering good value for a Swiss-made dive watch. Criticisms are consistently leveled at the lume, which is described as disappointing or mediocre, and the 19mm lug width, though some view this as a positive for collectors or a minor point due to its vintage inspiration. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +3 seconds/day and another +12 seconds/day. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the DOXA SUB 200 for its distinctive aesthetic and comfortable wearability at its price point.
