Most pleased with my latest acquisition - a 2014 vintage CWL C9 Harrison GMT. The watch is virtually unmarked ... keeps excellent time & has that 'classic' CWL look !

My SH21 is in the C8 'Al Deere' - it runs just within the published spec - gaining 5-6 seconds per day ... .... in contrast to my aged C8 Pilot Mark 1 with its common or garden Sellita Movement, which is literally spot on after 24 hours ... and my C60 GMT is very close at +1 second per day ... also ...

After a long wait I've finally got a C70 DBR1 COSC - so pleased its never been out of the box except last week for a new Battery !

Hopefully you can see it here amongst todays selection of monthly runners !

Thank you - I'll have a browse thru !

looking for a suitable alternative strap for an early 2020 C7 Rapide Rosso Corsa (currently on plain vanilla black silicon) ..... I've seen other C7's with a red-piped black leather strap - also a perforated black strap with red stitching along the edges ..... anybody recommend a source ? (not curve...

Havent dared wear this - C70 bezels - even the later ones - having a remarkable resemblance to the consistency of room-temperature Butter !

Nice One !

I must be mad !

A long wait for this C9 Jump Hour - Mark II with the desirable & frankly best, Roman Numerals !

Thanks Keith - a quintessential CW !

Lovely. Has a definite Portuguese flavour about it.

Thank Goodness for the abundance of totally automatic Changeover watches I own ! Not to mention the CH Programmer, the Thermostat, the TV & the YouView Box !

I believe Rolex also produced an Oyster BubbleBack back in the 40s. Designed to hid the thickness of the watch, again because of the movement by visually slimming down the watchcase with a protruding case back. It might be what CW have attempted to do this with this watch. Apologies, I did of cours...

I’m disappointed, I was looking forward to getting my hands on this watch. At 17.2mm and a rather high protruding case back it will make for an uncomfortable wear for me. 4C620818-88E9-4BC6-9F12-225F6AA38C34.png Reminds me of the Omega 'BubbleBack' style in the 1940s when Automatic Wind was introdu...

It looks good. Whilst I don’t mind a 30 minute counter on a more dress style Chronograph, I have always viewed a full 12 hour counter as far more useful on a tool watch Chronograph such as this. Neil Agreed - but pleased that the previous Micky-Mouse 'small seconds' aka 'Breather' has been abandone...
