The CW part of my collection has grown again.
I've been looking for a good C8 at the right price for a while now.
luckily for me a friend of mine recently bought one online only to find it was too big for him. Being the good man I am I offered to take it off his hands.
I know people have issues with the antimagnetic properties and the location of the date window on the C8 but to me it's a well balanced watch which will have a place in my collection for the foreseeable future.

Well done, the C8 is a great watch. I have the Vintage U2 version.
I must say I like your current collection too.

Re: The CW part of my collection has grown again.
@BaconEater - lovely watch to get hold of and the cream dial is not around in great numbers; didn't sell as well as the black dial.
I had a cream dial MkII a few years ago, which I then swapped out for a MkI version that became one of my favourites, until I sold it about a year ago.
Glad to see you've got one of the original CW Aviator straps with rivets. They're fabulous and the only one I know with blasted finish rivets to match the case.
Hope you enjoy wearing it.

Re: The CW part of my collection has grown again.
The C8 is a great watch - really easy to read.
I have 3 of them - vintage and Mk1 & Mk2 cream ones.
Only thing is, I haven't got one with me here and miss having one on my wrist.

Re: The CW part of my collection has grown again.
Well done on expanding your CW collection.
I'm personally not a massive fan of aviator style watches but I do like the contrast of the white hands on the cream face on your watch
