New Watch, Incoming!
New Watch, Incoming!
Only just joined this forum today to get broarder options as I look for an addition to the CW family. I only went and dived straight in today with an eBay purchase. Fingers crossed for this arriving, C9 Harrison Chrono.
I have a question on polishing out any scratches, sorry if this has been asked 100 times, I did search the forum but could not find anything specific. Q. if I were to send in the watch to CW for a Service do they also offer a re polishing service?
Thanks

Re: New Watch, Incoming!
They don’t offer a polishing service, but they will, for a modest fee, re-case the watch - providing of course, that they have that particular casein stock. You can contact customer service directly to check on that.
P.S. a good choice of watch - a classic design, even if not one that’s original to CW.

C9 Harrison Chrono, you say?

Silver or black dial?
As to your question about CW offering refurbishment / polishing services, the answer is currently; no.
I emphasise currently as this is, as mentioned by Mike France at one of the GTG / CW Events last year, an area they are looking at and, in the long term, would like to offer.

Re: New Watch, Incoming!
I don’t know this watch itself but a good and trusted watch servicer/repairer would normally be able to refinish and polish a case. I know there is often a dislike of polishing watches but I think people often mistake bad over-polishing with a sympathetic and well done polish and refinish. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to recommend people but I have someone I have used for over 20 years in Hatton garden that I use for my watches as I know I get an honest appraisal. When I have sent watches off to their manufacturers before I have been over-quoted or told watches need more work than I believed they do (Panerai and Omega I’m looking at you!)

Black, I've already got a Rubber strap on order from CW to add to it, hoping they will look good on the wrist.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 12:08 amC9 Harrison Chrono, you say?

Re: New Watch, Incoming!
Looks in decent nick, that. Good pick up, certainly beats most of the newer designs in my opinion.
Re: New Watch, Incoming!
I agree, that looks great!

Lovely. Has a definite Portuguese flavour about it.

Re: New Watch, Incoming!
Congratulations
Great to see some classic CW watches getting some new owners.
Nice to see these again as they have been a bit forgotten perhaps with the vast amount of new models they have recently produced.

That is a fine looking classic CW, quite rare to see now too, even on the forum.
