I’d been looking for a military type watch for some while; preferably one that I could wear with a NATO style strap as all my watches so far are either bracelets or leather. I discovered CWC by accident after reading various reviews about other brands in the usual places. There were a few comments about the price being too much for a standard quartz movement which I found irritating as I own both quartz and mechanical and like them both. In any case, it’s really missing the point with CWC, a smaller brand that produces pieces to military spec, and it’s important not to loose sight of this. This IS a tool watch with ‘genuine’ heritage. So, after a while I took the decision to pull the trigger on the the SBS RN ‘87 diver - ignoring the few negative comments I’d seen - and am so glad that I did. It’s a beautiful piece and hasn’t left my wrist since I got it. I love the new (to me) experience of swapping the straps out each day and have already purchased a number of additional straps, including three smart ‘Bond-type’. As for the watch itself, construction is perfect - everything (including the bezel) lines up perfectly and the PVD coating is great, giving the watch a nice stealthy look. The lume is bright, which also includes lume on the bezel. For the bezel- action admirers out there, you should all be content - I certainly am! It has a nice feel. The case size is the perfect sweet-spot for my 7.25” wrist and, being quartz, it keeps great time. I also anticipate that service costs (when the time comes) will be a lot lower than mechanical movements . Finally, service including on the phone - from Silvermans was top notch as I anticipated it would be. The packaging was a nice touch; well though out without being too much. Finally, was nearly £900 a fair amount to spend on a quartz watch? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes, yes and yes! Every penny.
