Re: Loupe - New Releases and Promo Code

The Super Compressor is just not for me. It has some great features, but I’m not a fan of the case shape. I agree about the case shape, but I love everything else about it - especially the dial. However, I'm not in the market for a new watch for myself, however, I was planning on buying a C60 Sapph...

Re: I'm new here and honestly...

I think the black/red one is more versatile but I have a soft spot for the blue one since blue and orange are the colors of my favorite hockey team.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions

StrappedUp's grey design and Nordwulf's Blue Dartmouth are quite snazzy. I'm glad to see the forum's design aesthetic has greatly improved in my absence ;)

Re: Autum issue

I have to say that I was put off by the puff piece on Che Guevara. Sure, he executed his political adversaries, but he did it in a timely and fashionable manner! What's next, the time pieces of Yasser Arafat, Idi Amin, and Carlos the Jackal?

Re: New CW GT40 model.

I really enjoy the look of the watch, but that price is a deal breaker for me - many times over. There are many other watches in that price range I'd rather have. But if CWL is able to sell them at that price, then all the more power to them. It will definitely set the bar higher for future luxury o...

Re: Downers Rules of Collecting

I've come to arrive at many of these same rules, without of course, actually codifying them.

I'm very appreciative of #10. I almost always buy a watch with the OEM bracelet and figure if I want to change it to a strap, I can easily find an aftermarket one.

Re: Incoming Orient

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the Orient logo - I find it ruins many of their watches. But this one is a nice looking watch.

I do like the Orient Star logo, however, and a lot of watches in that line.

Re: New England GTG

Flynnehome and Porsche911 definitely did well for themselves yesterday. So did Kip and CWL, I think ;)

The JHIII is definitely on my shortlist...but the wife wants window coverings the house. Who needs those?

Many thinks to Kip and his lovely wife for hosting us.

Re: CW C6 and C60 Kingfisher

The yellow is quite nice, although I can't wear it with everything... My C60 yellow is one of my prized watches because it's so rare. Now if I could only get my hands on the burnt orange version... Kiter65- Glad to see it's not just me that sees beauty in that yellow watch . How long does a battery ...

Re: Thoughts on FLEs

I'd be all for a FLE based on the C600 - there's a lot of potential there and at least it would be interesting; the last couple of FLEs were, in my opinion, rather boring. Whatever direction is taken for the next FLE, it should be designed by a handful of people who have some vision and confidence, ...
