How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Saw someone in the office a few weeks ago wearing a C60. Wasn't in a position to comment though as it was actually in a fairly crowded lift, and he was talking to another colleague. It's a big building (3000+ people), so no idea who either of them were to chat later.

Only ever met one stranger on the tram in Sheffield weAring a lovely c3 never seen anyone other than that it's all been at gtgs or at my brothers house as we both have a couple... And as previously mentioned a bloke in Singapore with a c60 but that's definitely it

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Here in the DC area I've been wrist gazing for CW's for over year with no joy. For me it's kinda cool to be the only one who has ever heard of the brand. Then last week, I'm out in the cul-de-sac with a neighbor, who I see almost everyday and whose children play with mine almost everyday and I look down at his wrist and what do I see; a C61 on a Nato, quite unbeliveable. He goes on to say the his neighbor, who has since moved, had at least three CW's and had orginally introduced him to the brand. Had a big belly laugh that a CW was right next door to me the whole time...

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
I've never seen another CW however I live a small northern town so the range of watches I see out and about is quite small. I think the last nice watch I saw on a stranger is a Tissot Visodate. I have some family/friends that have nice watches but I very rarely see strangers wearing anything noteworthy.

Saw another C11 vintage pvd exactly the same as mine on Friday at the driver's parade at Le Mans. Tapped the guy on the shoulder and pointed to mine, think he was as surprised as me.
Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Had my first encounter in the wild this weekend which turned in to a double encounter. At a wedding and sat next to a couple and I notice a shiny C7 Bluebird peeking underneath the guys shirt cuff, it's quite a looker in the flesh. After chatting for a while and exchanging what our CW collections are like his wife pipes up and shows us her CW too! Luckily my wife was with me to hear other "real" people say how much they like these watches, should help get teh next purchase in the house....

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Just spotted my first CW in the wild .
I was with my wife at her orthopaedic consultant appointment and what should I see but a C20 on his wrist - goes without saying he turned out to be a top man !
