Yes, yes I have, you'll note no disparaging comments by myself with regards to CWL service, and I doubt they'll will be, imagine you just bought yourself an nice new car, because all your internet mates told you how great the car was, 2 miles down the road the wheel falls off, firstly you ain't going to be to happy with the car manufactures, but you know they'll sort,your are going to be less that pleased with your internet mates, it ain't their fault the wheel fell off, but I'm sure you'd have something to say to them down the pub, wouldn't you?

I have only just come across this and think everyone is entitled to their opinions but losing it to other forum members is not right just because of a frustration with the watch.
Personally speaking if i had bought something that i thought felt cheap and tacky and did not live up to my expectations i would have sent it straight back asking for a refund and would definitely steer clear of buying anything else from that particular manufacturer.
I have 5 CW watches and am happy with the feel, look, weight and functions of them all.
You cant expect breitling or omega standards for the amount that CW charges and you may think i am over inflating CW watches but believe me i had to have an omega changed 3 times due to bad workmanship and handling but i eventually got the watch i wanted and am now very happy with it but even the best makers have problems now and again.
I do hope you get it sorted and i hope this is a learning lesson not to be too far from a table and stay away from tiled floors.
To start a vote on who wins whatever whether as a bit of fun or not is just adding fuel to the fire and smacks of my days of being in school and who was in my gang or football team.
Let sleeping dogs lie at least until you find out what CW is going to do to help.
Some members may not like what i have said but everyone is entitled to their opinion and yes it should be constructive but we learn something new every day.
Everybody knows nobody is perfect and i am a nobody so i must be perfect.

MY,my...... I go off to play a couple rounds of golf and come back to a prize fight with a poll.
I too am done with this bantering. It shall get us no where. This "balloon" thinks that Lampo has overreacted and that an apology to forum members should be offered. Lampo has to deal with CWL for his defective(?) watch and I believe CWL will make good. I shall be much surprised if he doesn't. The continued attacks on ones character are unnecessary by either side and shall accomplish nothing but perpetuate ill will. I agree with Hans. Back to the subject of the watch if more needs to be said. We are much better than all of this.
I'm done.
