Unfortunately the pics are gone but the eBay seller was mythaicraft (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/My-Thai-Craft). So I bought one from them and aslo one from bandmaniac007 (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Bandmaniac007? ... 4340.l2563). Very similar and both based in Thailand.
Thanks, Ian - I'll check them out.

Thanks, Kip!

Next? Hmmm, could be a Lido... or a C9... or one of the Mystery upcoming models that most of us have yet to see! ;-)

Silver C5 was also my first CW. It's seeing wrist time once every 10 days or so. A great watch.

Thanks, guys. It's still getting most of my wrist time.

Looks amazing in the sunlight when all the polished bits sparkle. :D

Yep. I've thought half-heartedly about getting one before, but those excellent pics are a real swinger. Must keep a look out for sale/nearly new ones...

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I know what you mean - I own several watches that never would have caught my eye if not for owner's personal photos. Online catalog pics seldom do them justice!

Should read the review, I added about it a while ago.

Very very timeless watch.... is all that needs to be said.

So much so, that I got another C5SST after the original got nicked...

Looking at the back of the C5, I notice that the movement decoration looks different from my C5 aviator mk1. Is it an ETA/Sellita difference?

Well, for what it's worth, I can tell you that this one is an ETA.
