Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
Visually, that tide is a perfect compliment. Like you, I do find the tide a bit long, but the two adjustable keepers help to keep it manageable.ajax87 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 6:13 pm My sale purchase just showed up. I think the gunmetal hands and indexes absolutely make this watch. This is my first #tide strap, and while it is very nice, I think it’s maybe a bit too long for my skinny wrists. It just fits on the last hole, and should be good if it doesn’t stretch at all.

60/60 applies. If you want this bargain they'll have to fix it.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
Wow, sorry! You’ve even given it some gentle shakes? It’s well within warranty, either for repair or refund, but how disappointing to await a new watch for it to be DOA.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
Sorry to hear that.
CW will sort it out though, potentially with a brand new watch.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I've been reading and trying to find a difference between the two. I bought the V2 off that sale. Invoice that I received via email said V2. Packaging and receipt in the box doesn't say.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 5:11 pmThere may be a difference on the bezel action; unidirectional - V1, bi-directional - V2 but don't quote me.suicidal_orange wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 5:05 pm Is there any difference other than the movement (Abyss GMT)? I can't see any, but not sure how they can try and sell both versions at the same price when one's just better.
Though I guess once the V2 has gone the buyer of the V1 wont know
When they're gone (the V2 version) they're gone!

The primary, and easily verifiable difference, is the movement used.rockchalk06 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 10:35 pm

The earlier V1 version has the SW330-1 movement with 42hrs Power Reserve and, when adjusting the GMT hand it can feel a tad 'clunky'.
The later V2 version has a newer SW330-2 movement (as used in the C60 Anthropocene GMT, C63 Sealander GMT & C65 Aquitaine GMT) which has a much smoother action when adjusting the GMT hand and, most beneficially, a 56hrs Power Reserve.
You may read a few more details in the Movement section of the CWArchive.
I hope this helps and pleased let us know how you get on in 56 hours time.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I might be wrong here but I seem to remember a quick way to tell is that V1 has a unidirectional bezel and V2 will have a bidirectional bezel.rockchalk06 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 12:39 amGood looking out!

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
That's a recollection I have too; except I've not got the V1 to verify it (unidirectional).

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
The one detail that's missing on the archive, because when it was made there were no bidirectional bezels. I wonder if it could be added?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 3:10 pmThat's a recollection I have too; except I've not got the V1 to verify it (unidirectional).

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
Technically, I think yes. I haven't taken apart a C60 but I did take apart my C65 and it would be pretty easy to make the change. I modified my C65 to be bidirectional (here is the thread where I modded it). This isn't ideal. You would really want a different click spring design and a different bezel ring too.suicidal_orange wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 3:31 pmThe one detail that's missing on the archive, because when it was made there were no bidirectional bezels.

Whether CW would do it or not who knows. You can always ask. The worst thing that will happen is that they say no.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I read that as him wanting to add the bezel type to the archive as a field, not add the bezel to the watch
