Re: Mary-Ann Ochota takes C11 deep into Chernobyl

Hello - I thought I'd revive this thread... Why? you may ask.... Because I was watching a video about climbing in on the Isle of Skye and spotted a C11 on Mary-Ann's wrist. A quick google search brought me straight here :) Enjoy: https://www.summitguides.com/info-hub/the-inaccessible-pinnacle-britai...

Re: New owner: C11 Makaira's

I do like seeing these together - they’re actually quite different “in the metal” due to the different case height.

I have a different dilemma - I’m planning to sell my Elite 500 but have no idea how much they make nowadays!

Help, the pearl has gone!

Hello, I’m after a few words of wisdom….

The pearl has gone missing from my C60. Again.

Now, this little beauty is a few years old now to say the least. I wonder if CW are still able to repair? Does anyone know? (well out of warranty now unfortunately!)

Nothing exotic, just a rather old Steinhart Ocean GMT "coke":

Magrette on new NATO

Hello! It's been a while. And there's a few new watches (and many straps) in my collection.

Here's an old one on a new strap....

Such a shame it's a fileger/fleiger/fly-grr or whatever you call those Luftwaffe retro-homage things... I'll have to send my Bremont to shoot it down!

Re: Are CW just cleverer than we think?

My boys have helped themselves to my Steinharts, I don't mind, its sort of nice that they show an interest. They wear them to school, which I have mixed feelings about. But what surprises me is the reaction from their school-friends: they think that they are Rolexes. The fact that they've mistaken a...
