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.

Vaer Calendar Field

Owners widely praise the Vaer Calendar Field for its excellent value, citing its clean WWII-inspired dial, thin 8.5mm to 9.5mm case, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The dial and hand design are consistently highlighted as phenomenal, with case finishing described as next-level for the price, featuring nice brushing. Some owners note the second hand does not perfectly align with markers, and the stock silicone strap attracts lint. One owner found the lume only serviceable and wished the date window was brighter. On balance, owners rate the Vaer Calendar Field highly for its exceptional dial design and case finishing at its price point.
