Stunning watch, esp the movement. Not sure I could justify a C5 in addition to my C9 but I'm tempted!
Maybe Mrs Schticy wouldn't realise it was a different watch!
Interesting about the highly decorated movement being a Sellita - and that is a very good sign for future CWL watches if ETAs continue to be in short supply.

Baldrick had more cunning plans than that - the size might be a giveaway! Mind you, as you've just acquired THREE the poor dear might get confused.schticy wrote: Maybe Mrs Schticy wouldn't realise it was a different watch!

Agree about the movement. When I joined the forum the perception among many members was that the Sellita was "2nd choice" and therefore somehow inferior. The experts tend to disagree, and I'm happy to believe them. Looks great, anyway

I think as we move forward, and Sellita movements continue to prove themselves, this will be a complete non issue.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:[ When I joined the forum the perception among many members was that the Sellita was "2nd choice" and therefore somehow inferior.

At least one goldtone watch should be in every collection. And your new watch is a classic imho. Congrats and enjoy.
