Re: CWL of the day
I'm not sure I'm completely smitten with it and I'm trying to whittle down my collection to just those watches I really, really like. The 60 day return period will be up in a couple of weeks so need to decide whether to return it.

Is it the look you're not sure of, or the lightweight nature of it?

Re: CWL of the day
I'm thinking you just need a push to return the watch. I know this won't help but IMO it's a lovely watch. I hope the decision is not to painful.welshlad wrote:I'm not sure I'm completely smitten with it and I'm trying to whittle down

Re: CWL of the day
It IS lovely. Perhaps a test might be whether or not you have another which creates the same mood or atmosphere? If not, keep it! You can always flog it in due course.Berkshire wrote:I'm thinking you just need a push to return the watch. I know this won't help but IMO it's a lovely watch.

Re: CWL of the day
With a fresh new battery, my C70US. Even with the bezel dings and scratches, I still love this watch. (and yeah, I know the date is wrong. Maybe I'm refusing to acknowledge it's Valentine's Day. Or maybe I am just lazy)

I had the same dilemma with one a few weeks ago and sent it back, i have no regrets in doing so i just ended up hating that yellow.welshlad wrote:I'm not sure I'm completely smitten with it and I'm trying to whittle down my collection to just those watches I really, really like.

If only it came with a grey face and green coated hands similar to a few of the Breitlings.
