Because all the watches above use the same movement ETA 2824-2 for divers, Valjoux 7750 for chronos, ETA 2893-2 for GMT. The Orients and Seikos use cheaper Japanese movements.ianblyth wrote:You could use the same argument and say that for a diver an Orient Mako or a Seiko SKX007 is cheaper than both so why buy a Steinhart/CWl/Omega/Rolex when you can get perfectly good automatics for under £100.

Re: Another new watch C11 Extreme
I do not think it is appropriate to refer to Brands such as
Whilst clearly CWL have aspirations to sit beside these brands, at they moment they do not - not by a very, very long shot in my opinion.
Comparing Rolex pricing policy with Omega principles is valid, comparing CWL pricing policy with Omega may be described as "aspirational" at best Ian................
Just my penny's worth.
in any discussion of CWL pricing and comparable brands.Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Tag, Longines

I wouldn't have bought that one just because the hour and minute hands are pretty ugly, and don't go with the second hand, but thats just me.diver69 wrote:Agreed.

Re: Another new watch C11 Extreme
I'll definitely be buying a makaira at some point but that green colour is definitely not for me. A standard Blue or orange makaira is the one for me!

C20 Lido
Non-CW:
Longines Master Collection Moonphase Retrograde
Longines Hydroconquest
Citizen promaster carbon JY0075-54E
