Nope. Still no idea what this is about.
It is no secret. See here.
Thanks Kip. No offence to the OP, but his post was not coherent.

Four of those are not practical as daily drivers, and the fifth will be in shop more than it's on the road, so you'll need a good bike as well.

Re: Watch plans for 2023?

Excluding the Bel Canto and 2023 FLE, both of which have already been paid for, mine are simple: - Buy an Explorer from an AD (I asked for one a while back specifically for 2023 - not before). - Avoid going into ADs and asking to be put on a list, or whatever pretentious name they now have. - Reduc...

Re: Stainless steel bracelet

While the CW bracelets may seem expensive, they are actually a decent value. Consider that a Tudor or IWC Mark bracelet with cost you over $1000. A Rolex bracelet significantly more. A spare link for an Omega bracelet costs roughly 25 of the cost of a CW bracelet. A Rolex spare link about 50% of a C...

I would strongly advise all on this forum to avoid any watch specialists at Castleford town centre.

Re: Why are all CW watch bracelets male end links?

Female end links can be a game changer with small wrists. My Speedmaster was transformed with the addition of a female end link bracelet, and now fits very comfortably on my smaller wrist compared to the OEM bracelet.

It's an amazing demonstrator for machine learning, and shows how far the technology has evolved in being able to not only crawl through it's database, but also output results in a form that is conversational. Just for fun I asked it (twice) to write for sale ads for a Rolex Submariner. The two ads i...

Re: Idiot question about heating

^^^^ it's a good system and works well for me with no drawbacks. Respectfully, I'll back out from this thread now. I still have no idea what benefit this is supposed to provide Rich. A hard wired thermostat also works well with no drawbacks, so I just can't understand what value a second wifi conne...

Re: Idiot question about heating

if your router is off altogether as you then won't have WiFi that the thermostat needs to communicate with the boiler controller. This would be the worst heating system design imaginable. There is absolutely no reason for your thermostat to not be hard wired to your boiler. I can't imagine having n...

Re: SH21.2

A big deal was made of the fact that the SH21 was designed as a tractor movement that could support different complications. CW has never really capitalized on this aspect of the design, leading me to think that a second gen movement might sacrifice some of this functionality for a smaller, thinner ...
