Re: Your 2893-2 / SW330 experiences

Just another idea: My experience is that you need quite a good amount of arm movement to keep the 2892/2893 running. I can't wear a 2892-based movement in the office, because that's not enough to wind the watch - I have to wind it manually. No such problems with 2824 variants.

Wow.
Those were the times when CW still knew how to place and design a brand name so that it looks good.
Keep it :)

Re: C60 Sapphire - New Release

interesting, but a rather boring movement for such a view.
at least it's a great size. If only CW could start making thinner watches! Then I would start buying again (oh yes, and the logo, of course, plus the hour hand...)

Re: C60 MK3. what would you change ?

absolutely great case, good colors/variations and nice sizes. Those are keepers. But: - sorry for being blunt: name positioning and font is downright ugly and unbalances the dial massively. - the hands show the strain for being different at all costs, but it's not a pleasant sight for me (shape of t...

Re: Small, light, cheap watch for leather/nato

Definitely the Hamilton...
There's hardly a better watch for little money. Great diameter, many variations, good on leather or nylon.

Re: Suggestions on purchase

there are quite a lot of such watches around.
I would always go with the classic: Hamilton Khaki Field, for me it's the "Officer" version with date window, pre 2018

Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket

on a chronograph: about 35 years ago, then got rid of all chronographs because I never used them (and so there was no need for their cluttered design)
bezel: this morning for making tea

Re: New C65 Trident Vintage Mk II

Unfortunately still with the same font/positioning of the brand name... another missed chance after so many changes in the past.

That was my guess, too - customer returns might end up in the NN section.
(I don't think that's a bad decision, quite the contrary!)

Re: Nearly New watches onsite 2

as far as I have read: no, the discount code does not work on clearance/nearlynew/... only on regular priced items; true?
