Wow....Delivered today, next day service, great service from CW, as soon as I opened the box I knew this was quality, the personalisation on the letter etc was great.

The watch, is better than anything I have seen on the high street in this price range, this is a real watch, my sister was pretty shocked herself, positively of course, now this is what you call a watch! Will put a Hirsch Rubber Strap on it for daily, but for interviews etc the brown leather strap looks the business.

Was shocked at the size smaller than I anticipated in terms of strap width, but I really have grown to LOVE it!

Delighted for you. The two straps will change the character completely. I hope it brings much joy.
I've just succumbed and ordered a C11..........

Clasp seems absolutely fine as soon, leather is a bit on the tough side at the moment but I'm sure it will soften up, but genuinely a great watch, mum loved it!

My Harrison GMT took about a week, and was a bit awkward to close because it was stiff, but then molded to me. Have you noticed the 'easy release' tags on the bars? It'll make strap swapping so much easier.

I have yea the little prongs? I'm just curious how to use them do I shift them to release the strap?

Yeah, just slide the pegs; v easy and quick. Ideal for your 'different looks' plan.

Well done! I like the Matt finish on the white
Dial, good choice.
Nice size watch not too big on the wrist
Being 39mm dia.
Enjoy
