Owners appreciate its feel of new old stock, with some noting the Bor bracelet is well-executed, while one reviewer found its clasp and links sharp. The lume is described as very bright, though one owner noted the minute hand’s lume color did not match the bezel’s pip, and another was surprised it was not blue despite blue numerals. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38 mm Even Numerals Dive Watch - Cédric Dodane Edition highly for its compelling blend of 1960s charm and modern capability at an accessible price.
Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic for its vintage aesthetic, comfortable wearability, and legible dial, with many noting the quality of the Beads of Rice bracelet and tropic strap. Some owners report exceptional accuracy from the Miyota 8315 movement, while others find it noisy. Criticisms include laughable lume from one source, a crown that lacks a positive lock, and drilled lugs that can be problematic with certain spring bars. The warranty policy not transferring to subsequent owners is a significant concern for some. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic a quality piece for its price, offering a handsome vintage look with solid specifications.
The vintage-inspired design and comfortable wearability of the 38mm case are consistently praised. However, reviewers note that the bracelet feels light and lacks a premium feel. Opinions are divided on the world timer bezel.
