CW Didn't come up with this design, it's been around for donkeys years, everyone does their own homage to the classic aviation, marine, submariner etc designs.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Seriously? Its just an A-type B-uhr dial, they have been around forever.
The Stowa Flieger Original, a very desirable watch, looks exactly the same as your picture A. So do many many watches from Laco, Steinhart, Tourby, Archimede and others.

A Steinhart is on my wrist at present, and possibly my favourite watch at the moment, certainly better quality than CW, but designs are more limited.

I definitely agree with you that their designs are more limited, it is because a majority of their watches are homages.
Re: Krike! Copy or what?
I have a big issue with a lot of Steinharts watches, and that's because of the water resistance or lack of! Their marine watches are only rated as sufficient to withstand splashes and you are advised now to shower or swim in them.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Ideally you are advised not to shower with any watch, irrespective of WR. Soap and shampoo are the enemy, not water.theaaronp wrote:I have a big issue with a lot of Steinharts watches, and that's because of the water resistance or lack of!

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Sure, I agree, however Steinhart state 'WaterRes: 3 ATM (limited water resistant, no swimming or shower)' which really, is poor imo. For transparency I am a fan of Steinhart, I toyed with getting one with their bronzo's for a while.blowfish89 wrote:Ideally you are advised not to shower with any watch, irrespective of WR.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
I agree with you, almost comic to make a large sports watch and just 30m WR. The fliegers and pilot chronos are all 30 or 50 which pretty much sucks.
Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Yep, and it's one of the biggest factors that has held me off buying one a Steinhart so far.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Still nothing from Dr. Moose. I'd love to hear why he thinks Steinhart is better quality then CWL.

Just feels better. Bit like a BMW compared to Jaguar, personal tastes and preferences.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Those are really good specs for $119 watch. I don't know much about the Seagull movement, but I was really surprised to se Sapphire glass and super luminova. I'd rock it.

Ah, the old intangibles argument. Guess I'll have to take your word for it until I can get my hands on them both.Dr Moose wrote:Just feels better. Bit like a BMW compared to Jaguar, personal tastes and preferences.

Re: Krike! Copy or what?
Having not owned a Steinhart I was surprised to read this. There aren't many Steinharts I like(due to size), but the Marine one I've been tempted by on occasions.theaaronp wrote:I have a big issue with a lot of Steinharts watches, and that's because of the water resistance or lack of!

As for the design, agree it's the classic Aviator and alot of brands have giving it a new lease of life in recent years, Archimede are another from a long list.
