Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Yes - some interesting opinions! As a long time customer and and admirer of the brand, from the past 14 years or so, we've seen it grow, diversify, open a showroom at the HQ, but stick to their principles of how they sell their product - ie: directly to the customer over the internet. I don't work a...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

I think one thing this thread has shown, is that CW has some ardent fans that would like to either build an entire collection of varied CW styles, or at least have a collection that includes CW's from a wide range of styles. I think that this is a strong statement about the following that CW has bu...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

I've got two children to tell off at home, I don't have a need to do the same with strangers on the internet. It was a simple statement of fact with no finger wagging. We can only appreciate brands for what they are. Good for you. Lets cool it my friend... At the end of the day we've all got better...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Honestly, I really don't mind listing what watches are in my collection - this is a forum for CW fans of the brand. I myself love hearing about the different watches people own, and spending many an hour or so looking at the gallery in this forum. As you can see from the rather modest few CW watches...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Yes - nearly got a Bremont MB from them a couple of years ago...you do get go there, try it on, see the box, papers etc, and get a fair assessment on your trade in... its OK, apart from the re-touched photos of the watch in question on their website - and when you see it in the flesh its not like th...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Yes i like like the British angle with a Swiss engine / influence. Bremont Martin Baker looks good - but pricey, maybe second hand (pardon the pun) -watchfinder & co...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Thanks for the support: Re - listing my watch collection: Of course its just either people who are curious about what's in people's collections, or indeed check whether I've got the credentials - because they look at my post count and think what does he know?? But its fine! Next - they'll be asking ...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

Looking at a possible Bremont or Farer next, since the current CW range is somewhat limited to my taste - lol!

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

It's very simple though, if they're not making what you want there's no need to be frustrated as I'm sure there are plenty out there that are. You're owe CW nothing, just as they're not owe you a pilot or a racing watch. Thanks for the slight telling off but I don't need that, I'd like to think thi...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

I'd say Oris have a much more eclectic range than CW at the moment, with 7 different style lines - and similar to CW in many ways another independent brand, and like CW a certain brand honesty (especially in their prices) with way more history and heritage than CW in all honesty. Their signature wat...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

So here's the thing... I get an email from CW this morning and its a new watch announcement! Yes - you've guessed it - yet ANOTHER C60 derivative, this time its the C60 Anthropocene GMT! This exactly illustrates my point when I created this topic! Its the same, same old , same old from CW. Yes it lo...

Re: Same old, Same old from CW?

The slimming down of the range could be in preparation for 're-branding '. With CW leaving it would be a good time. There must have been a significant notice period before public announcements. Then 're-branding' followed with massive release of a new line up? Did the reductions start with JJ leavi...
