someone told me theres no such thing as a daft question, its only a daft question if you already know the answer :?

The C9 with Rose numerals will most likely be available to preorder in September.

Just noticed the new C60 COSC fails to have the name Trident Pro anywhere on the dial!!! How can that be? I'll pass.

Nice new watches. I hope they are not going to be too expensive. We have five CW's one being the JH, most recently the most expensive at over £1K. This used to be CW limit on a watch and I believe once it was said that CW would produce a £1K watch worth £10K by any other watch manufacturer. I just hope CW is not going away from its roots. My son (24yrs old) is a fan of CW, but is beginning to look elsewhere as he no longer goes WOW at the watch and the price. He still likes the watches but feels other manufactures are now worth a look at in regard to price.

Very nice new watches - extremely disappointed to hear that the c900 monopusher will be around the 2.5K mark!!!! That is a crazy amount of money and I am gutted CW is now moving into that territory...
The C9 Mk11 is very nice - quite like the green face and brown strap :)
Also the C9 rose numerals is pretty special....

Just need some release dates now! :)
I was standing on the edge of the world...and I can't see it.

What kind of premium can I expect on the C60 COSA and is it worth it? Will it be more accurate as its certified?

Thanks

Mark

Not necessarily more accurate, but certified to be accurate within COSC specs of -4 to +6 sec. per day. As for price...I am guessing about 125 GBP more.

Having probably done the logo issue to death there is one other issue I find slightly worrying. Regarding the new C9 Gold JH, the web page for the original limited edition JH states "...only 200 C9 Jumping Hour timepieces will ever be produced."

Where is the wriggle room in that categorical statement (and assurance for those who have purchased the Limited Edition) to enable the company to go ahead with a gold plated version and at the same time preserve its integrity?

Robin

I agree, no wriggle room unless you can make more money. CW is perhaps moving into the corporate world and has grown out of the small family start up company that we all respect. Investors pressures and greater return on cost seems to be happening. We have seen it with the recent price increase. They are evolving and perhaps entering into a different market and customer base.

Clearly, you have not read the response from CW, concerning the C9 JH. :roll:
