Whats coming today?
Re: Whats coming today?
I think that the Cranwell is a big improvement. It’s now something that I would consider buying.

Re: Whats coming today?
My knee jerk reaction is that the Sandhurst and Dartmouth look off. They should have stuck with white lume on the blue. I think I am with Nation on this one. I'll keep looking for a Series 1.

Re: Whats coming today?
I’m really annoyed because I had a blue Dartmouth on order during the last sale and canceled it. Currently the only one on eBay that I see is $1k from Japan. May be a while.

Re: Whats coming today?
I've seen that one too. The seller isn't very responsive either. I would consider it if I could find out if it was earlier or later with the screw down crown. Import duty on that amount wouldn't be too high. I see them more often in the forums and few pop up on Chrono24. Patience is part of the game.

Re: Whats coming today?
I have to agree, not really liking that Dartmouth as compared to the original.

Well, I did say to myself, “it looks like it has an escape valve like an Omega.”

Re: Whats coming today?
New Cranwell has old C5 aviator vibes!
I’m not a fan of the Dartmouth and Sandhurst though. The sandhurst looks way off with those hands and the swish only.

Re: Whats coming today?
An interesting thing with this release - there is an option for a bronze bracelet for the Sandhurst bronze. It isn't an option on the watch order page but it does show up in straps.
I agree the Cranwell looks the best out of these.

Re: Whats coming today?
That is interesting.
All the bronze watches have a steel case back. I assume the bracelet will simply be bronze. Green wrists ahead.
Trying not to buy any more watches...

Re: Whats coming today?
I'm not sure I like the 'Bond Style' #TIDE on the Sandhurst either. I think canvas all the way on this one.

Re: Whats coming today?
C65 Dartmouth lumed dial and bezel look interesting though. Quite an evolution to have a glowing yet normal looking dial, well done.
Not sure about the new logo use on these models. Fits on the C60 300 as a modern look, not so much on classic or more vintage inspired models in my view.

Re: Whats coming today?
Didn't even notice the lumed dial on the Dartmouth. Even more out of place in my opinion. I agree on the logo use here as well. The text fit the esthetic better.A1soknownas wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 4:55 pm C65 Dartmouth lumed dial and bezel look interesting though.

Re: Whats coming today?
The product page for the bracelet seems to show it is full solid bronze. And $625! Add that to the $1205 watch and you’re closing in on $2k

Re: Whats coming today?
Is that because to have a glowing dial would be at odds with a military style watch in the field so the enemy can just spot the person with the glowing wrist!
Ha, I quite agree in that context. Forgetting that mishap though, I reckon it could be a popular feature generally.

Against the esthetic for sure. Throw it on the modern 300 all day long. A little odd that they chose this line for experimentation.A1soknownas wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 5:12 pmIs that because to have a glowing dial would be at odds with a military style watch in the field so the enemy can just spot the person with the glowing wrist!
