This was the one CW watch I've been anticipating, and I'm still tempted!

I don't really like buckles on straps so I wonder f it will be available with PVD Bader style deployant and a black strap?

Failing that, I'm thinking it would look quite good on one of those deployants and the brown leather on pre order at the moment?

I will email Wera I think to ask about options, will report back!

According to the website blurb, the watch is supplied with a bader deployant...
The CW website wrote:The trademark Christopher Ward deep-etched engraving on the reverse captures the plan of the Typhoon perfectly and the ensemble is finished superbly with a quality leather strap and Bader depolyment.

That's on the leather strap but the nylon strap is pictured with a traditional pvd buckle.

It was that that was confusing me! I hadn't read the blurb all that closely I'll be honest!

If you look closely at the watch photo you can see that it is fitted with the Bader Buckle.

I guess you're correct Kip if looking at this photo;-

. . .but then on the other hand, theses two photos reasonably clearly, IMHO, show a regular buckle (similar to the one used on the C11);-

Seems to be opportunity for some name confusion here: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/cx-swiss-mi ... ch-review/

Theirs looks like a dogs dinner, but there are a lot of typhoons blowing up at the moment!

A guy over on TZ UK has just posted this on a C1000 thread...
That watch is a real shame, it was so close, I was enjoying looking at it until I spotted something, the Typhoon aircraft shape on the chrono hand is the wrong shape/not a Typhoon - the foreplanes are missing (unless thats meant to be them further up the hand? which would be silly).

Im a Typhoon engineer in the RAF and that chrono hand would bug me!
Interesting comments, and I hadn't really noticed what he was referring to.

CW generally well received, though not much love for the quartz motorsport series, albeit popular on here.

Well, he has completely missed the point in that the foreplanes are further up the hand. I doubt that CWL would make a fundamental design error on this part.

OK; so that's one RAF Engineer that won't be buying a C1000. Plenty of other fish in the sea.

They clearly know what the plane looks like, after all there's a big rendition of it on the back of the watch! :lol:

Let's have a quick look at the real thing;-

and compare it to the C1000;-

OK, the cockpit area of the fuselage is a bit extended on the C1000 but it seems like CWL got it reasonably correct IMHO. :wink: :thumbup:

The relief on the engraving is really quite outstanding.
