Anyone familar with these watches?

I am a memeber at a military watch forum and they're pretty ga-ga over these....including some of the vintage-era pieces.

The watches look pretty nice...I especially like this diver:

I've seen the name loads of times, especially in military references. Probably same as you. Just doesn't do anything for me. Just looks like a PVD'd Seiko.

I had one before. The case is well made and the crown screws down very smoothly. This watch is to replace Rolex for British Royal Navy I believe. I sold mine because it look too much like my Omega Seamaster.

Will I buy again? Sure, but with ETA 2824-2 movement. The quartz movement is accurate but the second hand doesn't always hit the second markers. This drives me nuts!

I've got that exact watch, Trandy. It's the CWC SBS diver. The watch is solidly made. I don't have the issue with second hand falling on the marks. The crystal is flat mineral and protrudes up just a bit beyond the bezel. Because of this, I think the crystal will end up taking some good hits and need to be replaced after a few years of use. The dial / lume looks great in person, but doesn't glow as brightly as my Seiko Monster. All in all, I think it's a great watch, but I think the CWC G10 is definitely a better value. You can get those G-10s anytime you want for about $100.
