Was going to buy an IWC Spitfire but then, through this site, have seen the above. My needs are simple; with changing eyesight I now need a 6ft long arm to read the time at night, so need a big legible watch. My Breitling Navigator I've given to my son in law and the Superocean will shortly appear on Ebay I reckon. These other makes seem as good as the IWC yet at a very reasonable price. Opinions? I'd like to hear from you owners.

Which Superocean do you have? Yellow or Orange dial by any chance?

I've not heard much at all bad about Sinn and O&W. My understanding is that they use good quality, standard Valjoux/ETA etc. movements and their watches are nicely designed and well built and finished.

As far as I can tell from what I've been reading, there is little between the two brands in terms of the quality of the item you get for your money.

Sorry Dominic - standard black face. Still under guarantee (replaced after a burglary) and a steelfish model with steel bracelet.
