I have some of the watches you are looking at but most of them are on a bracelet, I've just weighed them using some kitchen scales but I'm not sure of the accuracy. The CW website indicates the C60 weighs 189g but my scales say it's 24g lighter! :?

C7 Bluebird (bracelet) 140g
C60 Trident Pro (bracelet) 165g
C65 Trident Classic (bracelet) 160g
C70 British Racing Green (leather strap) 90g - Not the VW4 in your picture but is probably a similar weight.

All of them are lovely watches and I'd recommend browsing the Gallery for real world pictures to help you with your decision.
Thanks for that :D

I have the C7IRR COSC and the Vanwall COSC (the one with 20 o'clock:lol:) and they are in fact what I regard as my "besties". If I could keep only one it would be the Vanwall.
As it is I pre-ordered both new and like to think that they were made just for me. It's sad I know...

I think I will need to make a trip to the CW showroom and try them all on, and see which one feels/looks the best.

Has anyone ever managed to get a deal if they purchased a few watches in the same visit???

I am pretty certain that the only deal you will get would pertain to any sales or promotions that are current when you visit.

I'm sure that if you're collecting they won't charge delivery :lol:
