Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver

They're quite nice. They remind me of some of the Zodiacs that I'm very keen on

Re: Smiths Military 36mm PRS-29AM - initial thoughts and pics

Neil, This is my first Smiths and I really like it. I love the blued hands. I wondered about the 36mm size, but actually its wears the same as my Hamilton Khaki 38mm. As an aside, many of my fathers old Daimlers had Smiths dials, and being a Smith myself it would have been rude not to! https://i.img...

Re: The Longines Heritage Military Watch 6b/159

I've had one of these on my wrist for the last couple of weeks and just love it - especially because of the good value. Smiths PRS29a 36mm, hand winding.

Re: C60 Trident quartz beater

A quick question for you: I really like my new C60 300 but I've noticed the lume is different on the 15 Min indices to the 5 min dots. Is this normal? The 5 min dots are much brighter than the 1/4 hour bars. Not sure if this image shows what I mean, however the small markers around the outside are m...

Re: C60 Trident quartz beater

Mine arrived just 45 mins ago. Bracelet adjusted on its now on the wrist! Picked up the last 38mm White with Black. At the clearance price it really is a bargain.

I think you'll find that Oris also use acrylic on some of their big crown series.

Re: Has your big sale watch arrived yet?

I had placed an order on 4th July. I got an email from their customer service that due to a "system error " CW could not raise a charge on my credit card details entered on its portal. Now they are asking my credit card security code so that they can raise an order. This comes across as v...

Re: Sale now on

My C70VW was ordered Friday and my a/c shows the order complete, but I've not had a dispatch/tracking email. Not that I'm impatient at all, but should I call CW Towers? Perhaps because the C70 VW4 shows a ship date of Mid July? :? It didnt under the 50% off - ha but now it does. I'll be the one wai...

Re: Seiko 5 Military review... finally!

Nice review and its on my list of "must buys soon". My only point is I think they are WR to only 30m as opposed to 100m in your review. I think there is a new model that is WR to 100m, but they are closer to £100
