Wrist shot from CWL's Facebook page;-

IIRC this wrist has been seen on previous CWL shots and is only small/medium size; previous watches (C60 Chrono?) have looked 'oversized' on it.

This time the C8 Flyer SH21 looks OK, with the black case doing its job of camouflaging the size quite well.

Great design! Make a quartz version with 730 days reserve, sell it for £500 and it would be a great seller. Unfortunately, just a bit too expensive for me.

I still can't get past the font and style of the name. Much preferred either of the preceding two styles, with LONDON on the dial.

I like it, the first CW in a long while that I might just buy. :D
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

It's taken them quite a long time (and a few attempts) to figure out where the logo is supposed to go but they finally managed it :thumbup:

I'm also not a fan of the new logo, or the hands on this piece, but it has many redeeming features. At that price range its out of scope for me [DISAPPOINTED FACE]

It's been a while since I've ventured onto the forum but having seen this new watch from CW I've decided to come back for a nosy. I'm torn!

To keep my C9 5DA or sell and buy this beauty!

I really like it. Fortunately a manual wind, so out of interest, because FSM only knows where I'd get the monies for another wactch this autumn. Especially that I don't feel like selling my Mark II and they are a bit too close to not step on each other toes.

Am I the only one however who thinks this vintage lume is seriously overdone? I love the retro trend, shoot an Olympus, drive old cars, wear a trench and a hat, but here it just seems out of place considering the design is very firmly modern. Considering how weak the lume is on Mark II, I would much rather have white with green light.

I agree with you totally about the horrid lume, but I must disagree about hand winding – to me they are the best.
