Tube and train into "The Smoke" are definitely the best hunting ground for CW (and any other watch) spotting. You don't get any points for a Rolex though! Common as!

none wearing one, but I was at a wedding in the Summer and caught a chap staring at my wrist, I said to him "do you think this is an Omega or something" and he assumed it was, I did let him in on it in the end! I'd like to think he bought one too.

So much for the "bare below the elbow" diktat...!

I've never seen anyone wearing a CW in the US. Then again, not that many people wear watches and most just use their phone. What I can say is I think my CW watches would only make me appear better to strangers as they are great and classy watches.

Got served in Waitrose today; server was wearing a C20

Seen my Mrs wearing one every day since Christmas

So CW is a downmarket tradesman's brand then?
Probably fell off the back of a lorry down the local pub

...I guess I'll know if CWL has hit the big league when I can get knock-off fakes from Turkey, Singapore, etc.

On topic not seen any strangers around here with CWL watch. My friend's wife has one. I think he may be interested in the C60 Mk2 but he's a Tag man. Will try and twist his arm when we meet up end of May. If there's a new magazine I'll take it along as ammunition.

Oh, and my wife and daughter, but they're not really strangers. My son doesn't wear a watch, uses iPhone. He's always late for stuff, go figure

I was clocked in Glasgow by another CW wearer, we are both member of the same Tae Kwon Do association and were at a training seminar

One of the guys who sometimes serves me at the local bike shop wears an IWC - and no, he's not the owner either!

But then the bike shop is in Barkham.

Face to face, I've never seen anyone wearing a CW.

But maybe that's because I live in a remote part of the world, and also maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

I have not come across a stranger as yet wearing a CW, but came across CW through a colleague wearing one, and then found out another colleague had one as well. I tend to look at other peoples watches a lot more these days.

No, no, no - that's cheating, that doesn't count!

Unless of course you class your Mrs as a 'stranger'.

Lol it is but like your good self I live at the back end of the known world and the farmers here abouts are too interested in cows to bother about watches.
