Found* in a local Antiques and Collectables Emporium with box, but no Handbook or Certificate of Authenticity.
It wasn't ticking but the seller arranged for a new battery to be fitted by a local watchmaker, who I happen to know.
It's in pretty reasonable condition for a 7+ years old piece with a few light marks to the bezel but no other signs of wear.
I'd owned a couple of the earlier C8 Pilot, which I quite liked, but when the C8 Flyer was released it didn't impress me. Additionally I'd always 'gone large' with pilot style watches.
As it stands I like the Spitfire clock aesthetic and the 38mm size is quite cool.
One thing that helped me when I was looking at it was access to the Resale and Pricing Information on the CWArchive, which showed me I would be buying at a good price.
Also in the same Dealer's cabinet was, and still is (as at yesterday afternoon) a C5 MK2 that is optimistically priced, even after a reduction.
* It was actually my girlfriend/partner's son who found it, as he'd been in the store a week before with his wife, looking at Vinyl records. Knowing of my interest in CW he tipped me off.

PS> It's a C8 Flyer quartz 38mm
