Purchased A Watch In The New Years Sale? Post a Pic Here
Re: Purchased A Watch In The New Years Sale? Post a Pic Her
My second watch from the New Years sale. NN C5 Ml II Malvern Aviator. Purchased it on bracelet but haven't sized it yet so its on one of my nato straps. Crazy how much bigger it wears than my cheap Seiko 5 Automatic SNK803K2 in the same size. The watch looks as new and still had all the plastic on it.

Still waiting for mine. Been nine days on hold in customs. When I called today they said it had been forgotten!
Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow, or at least on Saturday.

It looks like some happy campers generally - congrats to all who bought!

I have the same watch, get it on a CW leather strap it really does look the part on a leather strap.

Not to mention that nato is covering the display back!
Re: Purchased A Watch In The New Years Sale? Post a Pic Her
When I looked the tan face on bracelet was the only one available. I fully intend on picking up some leather for it. But for now I'm happy to wear it like this. Should have checked out the strap section of the sale but I wasn't sure how I was going to like both the watches I picked up. Always next time.robert75 wrote:I have the same watch, get it on a CW leather strap it really does look the part on a leather strap.

Re: Purchased A Watch In The New Years Sale? Post a Pic Her
The postman struggled through the snow to bring me this today. Some quick pics until I get my tent setup.
No blue screws though. Considering it is a special blue colour Ltd Ed you would have thought that it would have had blue screws.
I was expecting to have to change the strap based on pics and comments but I am really liking it. The applied numbers are beautiful. The only thing I am wary of is the depth. Quite thick.
And it is a watch with no day, no date and not even a normal seconds hand. But I still like it. And I already have felt the wobble.
And it is my first Chr.Ward. But you don't notice it much in real life. Only in close up pictures.

Here is my NN effort, loving the wobble from the movement, spinning like a beauty, have to say it wears better than the c9 chrono I sent back, it was very pretty but just too thick at nearly 15 mm, I can live with this one at 13, well just under according to my vernier
The c90 seems just right and looks awesome

remember you can buy a watch for £2.00 get them in Christmas crackers etc.
I got one free when I bought my wife's engagement ring, so there is no justification in spending any money on a watch!
Just HAVE to do it
Wearing my Black C90 now.
It is a lovely watch and over your life time less than £1.00 a week?

No, it would cost £595 a week, as I doubt I'd see the week out!
