Who should buy which.
The T008 38mm Titanium 50 Fathoms 3H PT5000 Dive Watch: A buyer who wants a small, light, vintage-style diver for everyday wear and swimming. Choose a larger diver with a ceramic bezel if you want modern readability, or a flatter watch if you wear slim cuffs.
The SHY028 39mm BB58 Snowflake Diver: A buyer who wants a vintage-inspired diver with a distinctive handset at a low price. Choose the SHY027 if you prefer standard hands, or a titanium diver if weight matters.
Before you order.
THORN lists 13 mm thickness including the crystal (10 mm without), and it does not state an ISO dive certification or a power reserve. The bezel markings are a vintage layout, so check legibility if you time dives.
At 13 mm thick with a 46 mm lug-to-lug it wears chunkier than a vintage original, and THORN does not state an ISO dive certification or a power reserve.
