Why use needle nose pliers instead of a proper watch caseback opener with the correct bit to match the indents?

CW of the (yester) day - taking the Ernst Benz for a drive.

I'd say that the CW resale value also depends ( to a certain degree) on the scarcity of the model. Limited editions or smaller runs are more likely to realise higher resale values.

Orange to the office today.

Really enjoyed the documentary, so much so that I watched it twice (yesterday and again today). Was fascinating to see the design process and decisions behind the launch, and also put the names to the faces. I like the new movement and love the exhibition caseback but with no seconds hand, no date, ...

Somewhat of a famiy heirloom which was passed down to me about 10 years ago. Its a vintage Seiko quartz from the 80's with a sunburst dial in a retro 32mm gold case and matching gold bracelet. Not something I ever wear as it's too small and not my style of watch but I still enjoy looking at it every...

The devil is in the detail

This +1

A watch that's about as necessary as acne on a first date. I can't wait to never put my name down on the waiting list at some haughty AD who insists I first buy 3 other watches I don't really want.

1 incoming, 4 outgoing but my sole incoming is already a week late from being despatched using Royal Mail tracked delivery

Fingers crossed it'll turn up but it seems to have gotten lost in the system

Is this a custom made Seiko mod? DLC or PVD case?

(looks great )

A shame that James Martin doesn't wear a CW when "presenting", it'd be a lot more interesting than his pretentious cooking.

I'd much rather CW stop trying to push the envelope with arty watches (looking at you BC and C1 Moonphase ) and go back to functional design that serves a useful purpose (step forward Lumiere and Sapphire Edge).

I'll wait for the inevitable smoked black dial or sapphire orange version ...

I'd like to see a yellow version with gloss black hands in a DLC case, preferably with a date window and power reserve gauge.

Entirely possibly with the recent price positioning. I think that a lot of luxury watch manufacturers have misread the market and will now struggle with sales as a result. Walking past my local Rolex AD, they windows are once again full of watches. Rewind a few years ago and the shelves were bare. ...
