Re: CWL of the day

Only have had a couple weeks now being a full fledged member who actually has a CW. C60 Chronograph today. By the way, does anyone have recommendations for a watch box? My 7 watches just clutter my entryway countertop. Check out the Holme and Hadfield ''The Collector'' watch deck. It holds 7 watche...

Re: Coming: the ultimate C60 Trident Pro 300

Regarding titanium, and I'm prepared to be corrected here by someone who knows what they're talking about. (I dropped chemistry, with pleasure, in the third year). As far as I understand CW uses grade 2 titanium on recent watches, such as the Twelve. I believe this scratches easily. One only has to ...

Re: Coming: the ultimate C60 Trident Pro 300

A new and different hand set will be welcome. The current ones let the watch down for me. This 100%. This is why I sent back my Sealander GMT. All three hands were wrong and the minute hand, in particular, was horrid. Is it blunt? Is it sharp? It's both and therefore neither. Yuck. At least the sec...

Re: The twelve ti new colours.

Hey, CW, stop messing about with 'pastel' dials and 'fume' dials and just give us a sensible, plain BLACK dial. or even a sensible, plain dark blue dial, or even a sensible, plain white dial, or even a sensible, plain dark grey dial.
You get the idea? It's not rocket science.

Re: CWL of the day

Just received a C60 bracelet in superb condition from our very own Mr Mc Dermott (thanks Ferg 👍) and it’s perfect on my CWEC… liked the #Tide, but the bracelet really makes the watch for me 😃 E8479A4C-F9A9-4B56-9104-11A64B8E55AB.jpeg Colour me officially jealous. That's a beautiful watch, in a grea...

Re: January 2022 Sale

I have an unhealthy attachment to the Dartmouth in blue. But...(I think), it's too big at 43mm. (Does it wear 'big? Can anyone advise? P.S. My wrist is 18cm). I think I could get away with it. But...(I think), it's too busy - (minute markers on the dial AND bezel...not necessary. Plus, I'm not in th...

I neglected to mention the lume. I found it to be excellent.

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

It's arrived! My C63 GMT in blue on a bracelet arrived yesterday lunchtime. My first impression is that it IS a thing of beauty. The blue is lustrous - deep, dark, almost black sometimes. It catches the light beautifully, as do the applied indices. It's very legible, although I wish the minute hand ...

Thank you.

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

I purchased a blue C63 GMT on a bracelet as soon as they became available. Yes, CW said it would arrive at the end of October but I honestly believed it would be in my hot little hands by now. It isn't. The above post would indicate we may have to wait until SOMETIME in November. Is this accurate? ...

Re: Blue Dial Sealander Automatic in Stock

Well, the pics of the blue Sealander GMT triggered me, so I pulled the trigger!
With the voucher and the resizing fee I'm down £810.
Apparently not due until the end of October but, hopefully, it'll turn up before then.

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

Unlikely to see a C63 quartz as CW has been moving away from quartz movements for some time. The last quartz watches built were the C65 AM 1 and 2 VEV Special Editions in March. The remaining quartz models in stock are the C3 GrandTourer and Morgans. These were built prior to March. This was my fea...

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

I do wonder if CW would consider making a quartz version of the new C63 Sealander? I think this would be an excellent beater or entry level watch. Say, 8-10mm thick, 200m WR, about £300. The perfect watch for a holiday or for work if one doesn't fancy scratching a more prestigious model from CW. To ...

Re: Blue Dial Sealander Automatic in Stock

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! The blue GMT is beautiful. The shade of blue seems, (on the pics, anyway), to match my beautiful C65LE, which I can gaze at all day. Of course, every silver lining has a cloud and the obvious question is when will the GMT be available on the bracelet? When it is, ...
