Re: CWL of the day

I employed a little elbow grease last night to turn the bezel and lugs on this back to their original brushed finish, rather than the polished finish a previous owner had given them. Personally, I think it looks much better and more in keeping with the aviator style. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.co...

Re: Parts for back catalogue watches

Interesting post this one regarding old model support I've just returned a C4 Peregrine (the re-issue one :D ) for a battery change and re-seal .... the bezel was slightly misaligned from new so i asked for CW to take a quick look whilst the watch was with them They mailed me a few days later to say...

Re: Significant and memorable arrival

Looks very nice on the wrist Guy and a beautiful visible rear movement

Its always more meaningful when a watch is purchased this way

Enjoy

Re: 20 Best Small Watches Under 38mm...

Thanks for the link :clap: Interesting to me this as i had a "smaller watch " phase around 4-5 years back but have in fact come full circle back to 40- 42mm and even 44mm (depending on actual wear size) To my eyes the Breitling ,IWC and Oris all look as though the face/body design has had ...

Re: Watch Gecko Sale

^^^^^ Thanks for the info RichT. I’m on strap overload after the CW sale, but I’ll have a look at the Watch Gecko sale on the big screen when I get home :thumbup: ^^^^ That Elliott Brown has the good habit of looking good on any strap - but, once again, I think it looks amazing on that strap :clap:...
