I fancy a new watch
I don't need one; I have plenty. It's just an itch that I need to scratch. My two CW watches are a Malvern C5 gold with alligator strap, which is my dress watch, and a chronograph Peregrine C4 chrome with a brown leather strap, which I wear as a smart casual. My everyday watch is a Traser H3 Classic Automatic Pro in black with matching PVD strap.(highly visible face and luminous hands), which is great for swimming.
So, highest vote gets me a new watch. Recommendations would be appreciated.

Re: I fancy a new watch
As you already have a dress watch, a diver / swimming watch & a sports chrono, the gap would seem to be there for an aviator, so my vote would be for the new C10 - a nice size between the C5 & C8 aviators, good looking & versatile as casual - smart casual. This gives you as a bare minimum a watch for every occassion, but surely you will still need more than one for every ocassion?

Re: I fancy a new watch
What I like depends on the occasion and what I am wearing. I'm not too keen on metal bracelets although I find them suitable if I am swimming/snorkelling.ianblyth wrote:3 is plenty?lloyd_m wrote:I don't need one; I have plenty.
Well, I have 5 in total, and according to my wife, that is 4 more than is necessary.

I am drawn to the C8 Pilot MKII U-2 Vintage Edition. The tan leather strap looks really smart against the black watch.

Re: I fancy a new watch
Anyone know what the water resistance is of a C8? I can see no mention of it in the blurb.

The Mk I is 50m and so I expect the Mk II to be the same.

All C8's are rated at 5atm.
