Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
Is it only in the 44mm size, or is a 38mm on the cards too?

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
to fit all that in a 38mm would be cramped imo.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
That was my thinking as well, but I guess that is just down to the case material and colour of the markers etc. It will be interesting to see a SS version.Galton321 wrote:Worryingly it looks less appealing on the wrist.
I hate to be a bore but I can't help thinking that the balance of the watch would be better if the logo was at 12, as the 12 and 6 numbers are so large, yet as on other watches with the new logo, my eyes keep being drawn to the CW at 9. It's too long and prominent.
'Tis me

+1. On the too long.
Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
Too bad it's not a true worldtimer. Instead of GMT hand the movement should have driven the 24h ring.

Can you please share an example of a mechanical watch that has this type of movement. Thanksalex-w wrote:Too bad it's not a true worldtimer. Instead of GMT hand the movement should have driven the 24h ring.
Watches - Too many but not enough!

You can read more about it here:

It's an missed opportunity for CW because those models are usually pretty expensive and if they could make one around 1000 GBP they'd fly off the shelves.

My Ball has a similar setup with the driven chapter ring.paw3001 wrote:Can you please share an example of a mechanical watch that has this type of movement. Thanksalex-w wrote:Too bad it's not a true worldtimer. Instead of GMT hand the movement should have driven the 24h ring.

I'm shopping for another gmt watch and bought the Hamilton auto gmt but going to return it as it was not as appealing in person. Looking at the Alpina Gmt 4 as well but the Ball is a beauty too.
Ill have to see more pics of the cw gmt once it's released. Not bad but some things that don't appeal to me.

I like it. Looks bremont-y. Is that a good thing?
