Re: C8 Regulator
Good looking watch! Also good to see CW keep pushing 'the boundaries' and produce interesting movements.

Re: C8 Regulator
This is a stunning watch. The black dial with sand markings is elegant and reminiscent of WWII aviator pieces. Well done!
Re: C8 Regulator
just could not use that kind of setup, either everything in the middle, or max another smaller dial for seconds. nice watch though..

Re: C8 Regulator
This is the one CW watch which I don't yet own and genuinely covet. Apparently it doesn't hack, which surprised me and is its one flaw (seriously CW: regulators were supposed to be super-accurate, and you make a modern one which can't be accurately set...?), but I love the idea and the design. I'd go so far as to say that this is - to me - the most desirable 'big pilot' style watch available at the moment.
I'll have to wait for the PVD version to appear in a sale as I think my wife would leave me were I to spend the best part of £1100 on a watch, but if/when it ever does I'm there.

Keep an eye on Sales Corner, they come up occasionally, and I know of one which may come up very soon (if you get my drift?).wyrdwritere wrote:This is the one CW watch which I don't yet own and genuinely covet.

Re: C8 Regulator
I missed the batch from last week on sale. Anyone know if they popped up on the Canadian site or only the UK site. Thanks.

This one is irreproachable regulator IMO.

Re: C8 Regulator
THAT has got to be one of the most confusing dials. How can you tell what time it is at a Glance? I learned to tell time 53 years ago, now I have to relearn? Not possible...UncleDicky wrote:THAT is lovelyv8power wrote:Same here. Regulator for me is a suit watch, but not this pilot style.

Re: C8 Regulator
Regulators were designed to be able to see the minutes more easily. They are a purpose watch. With a bit of practice the time can be just as easily read.

Re: C8 Regulator
Haha, it took me a while, but now at least I understand what a regulator is.
Btw, i think it is a stunning watch.
