Taken the plunge
Taken the plunge
Hi all. After reading few glowing reviews of CW watches on the Watchuseek forum and browsing the site I've just placed my first order. Getting a C5 Auto and the C70 RAF Ad Astra. I've been after a dress watch for the collection and think the classic elegance of the C5 looks fantastic. I couldn't ignore the he bargain on offer with C70 so chucked it in the order. I was planning on a Baume and Mercier but the style and value of the CW's seemed a better way to go.
If I'm as impressed as most others seem to be with my initial purchase I'll be adding a C8, C9 GMT and C60 Trident to the collection.

Re: Taken the plunge
Excellent news- well done and welcome to the forum! Remember- pictures are essential so upload them when the watch arrives. Which B&M were you looking at, by the way?
Enjoy your time here- it is addictive!

The B&M was a Classima Executive XL GMT. I love the watch but can pick up several CW's for the same money.

Welcome to "The Asylum"!
The C5 is certainly a classic in my view.... so pretty tough to go wrong there. I hope you too are impressed.
Great to see you have the disease and am looking forward to your contributions.

Re: Taken the plunge
Sounds like you don't hang about! I am sure that once you receive your C5 and C70, the others will follow soon after and that will mean lots of pics please Welcome to the forum.

Re: Taken the plunge
Welcome Lordy
Enjoy your stay. Please let us know when the watches arrive (there seems to be some unofficial mail service performance monitoring going on - especially Royal Mail and USPS not talking to each other).
Oh yes, photos with exotic "down under" backgrounds are most welcome.

Re: Taken the plunge
Thanks guys. I'll see what I can do about some good backdrops for the pics when the watches arrive.
