Thanks!
This was my first CW watch and it's my 'military watch'.
Different straps (as with all watches, I guess) totally change the look of it sending it either more military / rugged-looking, or dressier.

Definitely recommended.

Just acquired a cream face version from the original owner, bought new in 2009.

Lovely piece, will get a strap sorted and post some pics soon.

The C5a is lovely.

It has clearly been well loved and often worn by Danny_n since he bought it in 2009, with a great collection of little marks on the case. Nothing horrendous and I think a bit of tlc with some Cape Cod will work wonders. Just need to be careful not to polish it too much.

Quick pic from earlier this evening.

Thanks Gents.

Gary - yes, been busy. Your L&H Phantom last week and the C5a this. Need to release two from my collection now. :problem:

Nick - not so sly. The Phantom and C5a plus the C60 Trident 300 pictured, bought on the back of selling my C80 Sector, all fully declared with the dear lady wife. :wink:

Lovely strap choice, Guy.

If you do decide to cape cod it, let me know.
Mine has a few battle scars too. :D

The strap on my C5a at the moment is an old school CW shiny Genuine Alligator, with polished deployant; that was on it when I got it last week. I've also got a CW dark brown matt calf leather with brushed butterfly deployant. Planning to give both these a light treatment of Gliptone leather cleaner to freshen them up.

Aiming to get a couple of others of various types of strap this weekend (this is my only watch with 18mm lugs). I need a NATO and thinking of a Bund style as well.

Also hoping to get to it with the Cape Cod this weekend.

Going to be busy. :wink:
