Re: Twelve years on - what’s changed?

8 years for me and a mere 72 posts (hangs head in shame!). My perspective on CW back then was that it introduced me to ‘proper’ watches - no need for batteries. And at an affordable price. There became a point at which the CW watches I would have liked were nearer a thousand pounds and that caused t...

Re: Gig Thread

Another long time lurker here. Some great bands mentioned already. First gig (and still remains my fave) Genesis' Trick of the Tail tour after Gabriel left - Bill Bruford on drums with Phil Collins singing and on drums - my favourite drummer ever - just mesmerising in his heyday. Most recent gig was...

Re: Scotland's Hogmanay Drone Show

They used drones when Biden was declared President elect (the first time!) and that was impressive but this was beautifully choreographed and filmed.
The beginning of the end for fireworks......perhaps.
Happy New Year to all.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2

Hi there - long term lurker - i have not voted for white dial. As someone who wears reading glasses i require a very clear dial when glancing at a watch. Although much work has been done to enhance the hands with a black outline, I would have to see it in the flesh before committing, although realis...

Re: C4 BBMF Do I have a right to be disappointed?

Thanks for all your comments. Wera says there are no original case backs left. So I will return it as I believe that to be an integral part of the watch. I dont like CW displaying something on the website which they cannot supply. When you get into small print territory, that is a complete turn off ...

Smiffy
Any harrier slots available?

Vulcan has to be next model. A few of us visted the vulcan at Wellesbourne last year and were very well looked after on a chilly and moist day. Didnt realise until that day that pilots could get out in emegency but the other poor s0ds had no chance.

CW seem to be dropping the ball of late with cock ups with orders and delivery.
Check with email to wera using forum email for her at the very least.

That said my ad astra has no serial number.
Thanks - have emailed Wera.

Re: C4 BBMF Do I have a right to be disappointed?

it should be a numbered edition (only made 100) so you would want the number on the back at the least. did you get it in the nearly new or the 50% military sale? My mistake - it was the 50% miltary sale.And the number is 175! I would be mortified if this was my business. But I'm pretty sure we have...

C4 BBMF Do I have a right to be disappointed?

Hello, I bought the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight version of the C4 in the recent sale. I particularly liked the back plate with isignia and the "numbers" of the planes that make up the memorial flight. Ok I dont look at the back of the watch when I'm wearing it but its good to know th...

Re: CW new website suggestions/issues

Anyone having payment issues? I referred my colleague to CW and he saw a watch in the sale. When completing and submitting the payment details he received an on screen message to say that his details were incorrect. So he input them again, and same message. Then he received an email from his bank st...

Re: My First CW!

Welcome - beautiful watch - I bought the same one with a different colour bezel. So far, touch wood, accurate to within a second over the last three days.
All the best.
