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.

Timefactors Commando PRS-47

Owners widely praise the Timefactors Commando PRS-47 for its faithful vintage design, particularly the tropical dial and hi-dome acrylic or sapphire crystal which enhances its visual appeal. The 36mm case size is frequently highlighted as a positive, offering a comfortable and historically accurate fit, complemented by 20mm lug spacing. Some owners note the Miyota 9039 movement's accuracy, with one reporting +1 second per day. Criticisms include the stock bracelet clasp being flimsy or a "solid MEH," and one owner found the 36mm size too small. On balance, owners rate the Timefactors Commando PRS-47 highly for its vintage aesthetic and wearability at the price.
