Re: Final piece in the jigsaw
Passed on a Speedhawk when they came up in the 'Archive' sale a while back. Could be said that I have my ration of 'wobbler' in my Trident Chrono (although Tikkathree will likely disagree). Maybe one day.Tyke wrote:Speedhawk?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: Now onto the second part; my returning long lost friend.

Accept the 'rise again' element of the suggestion but I've not owned one before, so it fails on the 'return' qualification.missF wrote:C4 'phoenix'??
For some reason the C4 has never quite had the attraction for me. My third CWL was a Speedhawk, which I kept for several years, and perhaps that spoilt me with the C4 seeming to be the poor relation.
A little birdie has whispered there might be one coming available, but it was the sale of a Sector that got me going on this reverse consolidation, so wrong tack.STodd wrote:Another Sector......?

You are though on the right tack, Steve, for the genre of watch.

As I have absolutely no capacity for remembering what my fellow dolphins have flipped, I am completely clueless.
However, well done on the Animal, mine performed beautifully on holiday.

My first CWL; well thought out and remembered (quite how I'm not sure), but not quite.Winnie Bloo wrote:It could always be the C11 black manta
Correct genre and a 'big' watch too, but we're moving of into the realms of other brands.

Thanks on the Animal.
It helps me creep, just, into the realm of Vintage watches but keeping to a style of knock about watch that I like.

Re: Final piece in the jigsaw
Slightly off topic but now's the one in one out policy going? It must be a bit tricky for your other half to keep track of the revolving door at the moment

Agreed particularly when I did a 5-into-1 to get my C60 Trident Chrono P'type and a 1-into-4 with my Sector. Then I've done a couple of sales with a cheaper trade incoming.
The incoming Animal will be based on the sale of one of my current ones; in a week or two's time.
Starting to lose count and the plot myself, even.

Re: Final piece in the jigsaw
Must be time for a SOTC Guy as there has been a lot of movement over the last few months, once the new ones arrive of course?

However, you have a point and, perhaps, with a period of stability, I ought to.
Sorry Patrick. Wrong on two counts, IMHO.Thegreyman wrote:A CWC...same genre as a Sector...military??
The Sector is an Aviator, admittedly with a military theme, and I've not had a CWC before; I can't therefore have one returning.
I left a 'big' clue in an earlier post; in relation to a C11.
