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.

Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic

The Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic is praised as a fantastic time-only release with excellent legibility due to its large indices and hands, and a comfortable 38mm case. Reviewers highlight its vintage-accurate 10.1mm thinness and 200m water resistance. An owner reports accuracy gains of +6 to +9 seconds per day, and one reviewer notes the "cream" lume color appears too yellow for faux patina. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic highly for its comfortable size and excellent legibility at its price point.
