Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
My Commanding Officer was wearing a C60 Trident 2 years ago( it was a Afghan tribute special design), never had the chance to quiz him as it was a one way conversation.

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Don't see many being worn but regularly see CW carrier bags as I work in Maidenhead, often then try and guess what they bought based on what they look like 

C60 Trident Pro, Breitling SuperOcean Heritage, Navitimer Fighters LE, Aerospace Titanium, Longines Hydroconquest, Raymond Weil Freelancer, 4 x Raymond Weil W1's, Meccaniche Velco CorsaCorta, Others from Seiko, Timex, Breil, Orbris Morgan and G-Shock.

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
I mentioned a couple of months ago that I'd seen one of our project managers wearing a C1000 Typhoon Cockpit Edition. I never got a chance to chat to him until today when sat next to him at a meeting.
At the end of the meeting he actually commented first that he had noticed my C65 LE and we chatted a bit. He has owned a Makaira Elite (me "I have a Makaira Pro and used to have an Extreme") and quite likes the C11 and Trident (me "I have a C11 Chrono and two Tridents" actually should have said three including the LE). So I tried to not to come over as too much of a fanboy and didn't admit how many CW's I actually have
He said he had also been looking at Steinhart as a brand, his main comment about CW was making sure he bought them when discounted as they had so many sales

I really think you should elaborate on this...it could be a fascinating thread in its own right.dibblecorse wrote:Don't see many being worn but regularly see CW carrier bags as I work in Maidenhead, often then try and guess what they bought based on what they look like

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
I have become more aware of watches than I ever thought I would - but still have not seen a CW on anyone other than my own left wrist. It's California, and a lot of Apple Watches and FitBits, but now CWs!

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?
Ha, Interesting thing to look for. I do ten to scope out other watches that I see other people wearing. Most of the time it's a fashion watch a la Diesel, Fossil, Skagen etc. Beautiful looking watches. I'm yet to see another individual with a CW watch. Even the used market for them locally is bone dry (Toronto).

My sincere apologies to any hairy, hat wearing people out there, who own red/pink sweatshirts. I didn't mean to offend you. You own an orange C11, so clearly do have taste! You were obviously just in a hurry when you left home in the dark!

Apologies to all Wisbeckians on the forum!
