Re: Batons or Blobs....?

What a great question, one that I have never given any thought to. I seem to have no preference when I look at my collection. I think I the overall appearance of each watch, it's aesthetic, how beautiful it looks is a sum of the elements on the dial and the bracelet that the designer has used. I hav...

Re: C63 GMT Black dial vs White dial.

Great photos, many thanks Ferg and of course Declan for the photos in real and varied lighting conditions. This is going to be a tough decision, both look so damn nice. Congrats on the black.

Cheers, Mike.

Re: If you could choose just one...

Welcome aboard. Like you I am impressed with the Sealander series, but I am leaning towards the C63 GMT in white on a bracelet, and to date my only other CW is an original C60 Trident Bronze. A couple of others that I am interested in is the C65 Dartmouth or the C65 Trident Blue Automatic. I jumped ...

Re: Casual, elegant and rugged CW explorer watch

That green dial is excellent Frank, nice work as usual. Cheers, Mike. Green GMT would be pretty awesome. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3dcwLFtubnOkouhZycmKJEnoMiEsFQ3cPHVX1sc47ZngpixLTgPOxOGMQvYWmiqPfgzEDgAKb-l10AIKFjSSH87GuSuDFel01rqSJndMpZxahOtJL-8UCFc3EJorq_UFz-5h4yFJj4XRJXKCsJkD2SKLw...

Re: Non CW of the Day

I am still happy with the "lone Ranger", glad I bought before they discontinued it!

Re: How often do you see strangers wearing a CW?

I was just waking up in the recovery room on Thursday the past week after a medical procedure when my attending physician came in to check up on me and he noticed my Oris hat beside my bed. That started a great 10 minute conversation about watches we both owned and loved and he showed me his CW C65 ...

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

Congratulations are in order to CW for the sales record. I think the Sealander collection is brilliant and it has been quite a while since a CW release has piqued my interest this much. The last one was the original C60 Trident Bronze 43mm back in 2017, which I still have. I am very interested in th...

Re: C63 Sealander Automatic

Thank you for posting, great photos and congrats on your new addition. The dial and hands appear to have enough contrast to work in flat light and outdoor side light. Now my decision is a little harder, white or black!

Re: C65 Dartmouth or C65 Trident Automatic ?

Hi Andy, I guess I am going to have to get the Dartmouth as I can live with the published accuracy range. I like both dials but perceived accuracy will win out. I have an older (2002) Breitling SO and a Tudor BB58 which are both less than -+1spd I also have a Tudor Ranger which was sent back under w...

Re: C65 Dartmouth or C65 Trident Automatic ?

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the valuable info. and the links. I do check my watches accuracy frequently just for entertainment purposes and to see if they need a service. My C60 Bronze at 43mm is the largest watch I have. When I purchased it my wrist measured 7 3/8” and since then I have lost 22 pounds an...

C65 Dartmouth or C65 Trident Automatic ?

Hi everyone, I am looking at either A C65 Dartmouth or a C65 Trident Automatic. My questions for those who own these watches is : Is the Dartmouth with it's COSC certification noticeably more accurate than the standard movement in the Trident Automatic? Is it worth the extra money for the COSC? I am...

Re: Non CW of the Day

Hi everyone, it has been awhile since I posted. I guess I have been MIA, so to speak. Since last time I added this Tudor Heritage Ranger some time back, it is a milestone watch for me. I guess almost all of our watches represent special occasions or milestones.
Cheers, Mike.
