Fancy a lick?

Post by Stif »

I've been far too quiet on here recently, but my third CW arrived today and it would be wrong to not pop along to share and have a wee chat!

I recently went along to the Glasgow leg of the CW roadshow, where Michael and Declan were touring the UK to showcase the current range - it was an absolutely fantastic evening and great to get a chance to try on lots of watches.

In particular it was great to be able to try different sizes within the same range (such as the 38/40/42 Tridents and 36/38/40 Twelves)... funnily enough, the 38mm LE Ice Cream Twelves weren't fully on display, I spotted one sat off to the side and asked if I could 'have a go'... :lol:

...and of everything I tried that evening the Peach limited edition Ice Cream Twelve was my absolute highlight!

So after a bit of thought (and a quick eBay sale to make space) I reached out to Declan at the showroom and asked if there was any chance of getting my hands on one... and today a lovely parcel arrived in the post!

Unfortunately pictures really don't do the dial justice at all!
The texture and colour play with the light wonderfully, and I couldn't be happier with it!

I had the bracelet sized, but when I tried it on I went ahead and removed another half link which gave a perfect fit - and with the addition of the micro adjustment on the clasp this should be perfect for a warm summer's day. Looking forward to popping it onto the rubber strap to chill by the pool when the holidays come around :lol:

Looks just the job! Congrats.

Tell me again, where is it you live and where are you planning to go that’s warm and sunny? :D

I'm in Glasgow Steve, so not much sunshine here! (Except on my wrist now of course :lol: )

We're planning a summer trip to Majorca this year though, so should get at least a couple of weeks of actual sun (to hide from...)
