Help, i'm a CW virgin.

Post by ledleythlithp »

Hello one and all, I'm new to all this so be gentle.
I am about to buy my first CW, The problem I have is I dont know which one.
I have narrowed it down to The Malvern Automatic (I have always felt that there is something very 'real' about an automatic watch) but I can't decide upon the coulour/finish. I have looked on the gallery and have seen some beautiful pictures of the C5 but apart from the black version it is difficult tell the difference between the white face and the silver face. The silver version appears to have a silver middle with a white outer rim whilst the white in the gallery (due to angle light etc) seems to have a sheen also. In the catalogue the white faced watch looks more cream in hue. If any of you have a white or a silver Malvern Automatic could you post a few pics to the gallery but stating which colour it is. Oh yeah the black looks rather cool also and thats not out of the question.
Ps, I cant wait, I'm getting a new watch, i'm getting a new watch.

Hey, ledleythlithp, how's it going? Welcome to the board. If I can figure out how to do it, I am going to try to move this thread to the main forum since your post has nothing to do with the Forum LE.

Here is a link to some questionable quality pictures of my C5 with the white/cream dial. BTW, it is definitely a creamish color as opposed to a pristine show white color:

That black strap is not the CW strap. It is a cheap strap I already had I put on it for a while. The CW straps are much nicer than the black one in the pictures of mine. I will be getting a decent digital camera in about a month and I hope it will let me take some decent watch pictures.

I haven't seen a silver C5 in person, but from what I have read, I believe the white one (as opposed to the silver one) is the way to go.
