I really like this, but WHY is it limited to 200 pieces.

Just my view.


EDITED.

As i have 1 on order, I am very glad its limited to 200 now. I still think it would have sold a thousand though :)

I'm guessing that eventually, the non-COSC version of this model will be released.

I believe the target was 599 GBP. Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but should be close.

if it is I can go for this...

Surely this is going to be as good a seller as the original C5 which should sell by the thousand. and hopefully kick the big boys in the teeth for price comparison.

Just my view.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. The only improvement I would like to see here is more in the the range. A black dial SS would be a stunning watch. I think these will sell like the proverbial hotcakes.

Cheers,
Jack.

It looks like they have used real pictures for this one. It looks good. Unless they have bought a new version of PhotoShop that does stunning photos. :shock: :lol:

I think CWL/Chr.W will move up a notch when they
a) include a wrist shot. Maybe employ stunt wrist men and women for the job.
b) include watches with props. e.g. on desk with pens, books.

Both or either of these will help to give a sense of scale and perspective to the watch.
Or in other words a better view of what you'd be buying.
The model wearing I think the Charlotte is a very good start.

Obviously the current method has stood CWL/Chr.W in good stead. After all if you look around they're the same sort of images as other makers use. It's just if there's going to be a makeover why not on the watch images as well.

Why have they posted real pictures? I wasn't a particular fan after the mock-up was posted. Now I want one. :(

So do I. Will be interesting to see what an additional 1mm makes to the case look and feel on the wrist!

I have to say I have been really mulling over the C50 as I was thinking of a C5 Auto or even a C5 Quartz for a daily..

But since just taking a look about the watch market I just spotted this and I guess in a way it's a watch on the same level.. do say I like it.. not Cosc though.. I was waiting for a Cosc.


Image

has the same lay out Date and number as the C50 .. I am going to look at it tomorrow in town.. but might have to pre order a C50 to take a look.. hmm?


having seen both watches togeather I do like the CWL polished case.

I can appreciate it for what it stands for in the CW world but personally I find that model just a little dull and insipid and I am a fan of minimalist watches! :shock:

I thinks it's the colours!
