Okay, here's a silly question, but I've never seen one let alone owned one...... What makes the SH21 so special that it's a joy to have? I appreciate it's a great movement and unique to CW, and an upgrade over a more bog standard movement, but... why? (Just curious as I am also planning a birthday w...

It looks lovely, Guy! I think you picked the best colour too.
I was so tempted by this, (particularly as I'd quite like to pick up a Kiwi watch) but I was put off by the thickness. I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks on the wrist.

If it makes you feel better, Mark, you can double that number for what I paid for mine to have a service at a good Omega service person in the UK but not Omega themselves (because - as you point out - there is no way to tell them not to polish the case which I definitely didn't want). Parts raise th...

Why were the hands changed on your Speedy? They look in pretty good condition on the underside! My bag of bits from my Speedy's last service had a lot of very fiddly movement bits which was a bit scary to see! (I do need a replacement plate and dial which is getting harder to find, so may have a sim...

I'm guessing the Omega you saw was one of these Planet Oceans: https://www.oandr.co.uk/images/pre-owned-omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-automatic-orange-bezel-black-dial-bracelet-watch-p2291-4450_zoom.jpg One of my favourite watches too. I have a colleague who has one and they're stunning in person too.

Awesome colour. Could you please post a link to the burglary story?

As a big fan of the C6's, I remember reading about the pilfered blue C6!

Now Steve you need to try the 'this year in post count' history thread. Good luck.
Nice work on the 12 year anniversary!

I think that orange sapphire prototype would sell easily as there's quite a few of us interested in it! ;) (I bet not enough for an LE though!) The black sapphire does undergo a much more rigorous colouration technique than the blue ever did (the colouring method for the blue was probably the only t...

Looking forward to reading this when it's available online! Really hoping I don't get sent a paper copy (again) to the old address!

I've actually been doing this for the last several months. We've moved overseas for a while and I decided to bring only 2 watches with me (though even that felt a touch excessive!). I brought several strap options to help though - it does make a big difference! They were two CW Kingfishers (an orang...

Nice to get one in the sale that you already wanted! Now you just need to update your signature!
Which colour did you get?

Depends on the age and what you want doing. I sent my >10 year old Kingfisher in to CW for servicing as I was thinking it'd be easiest if I needed spare parts. Also their pricing is very reasonable in my opinion. But the movement is pretty generic so I wouldn't be too worried about taking it to a go...

I'm still intrigued as to who managed to snag that orange sapphire! I'd love to see photos of it. A bit gutted I was in a completely wrong time-zone so missed the initial glut of offerings, including that one! I saw this and thought I would oblige(if photos load) I really am chuffed with it and wil...

It was bought by one of the members of the CWE Facebook Group.

Glad it went to an enthusiast of the brand!
Unfortunately I don't use FB but will connect at some point to have a look.

That was easier to upload than I thought.
