Re: New CW Sealander Chronograph

Just looks a bit overly expensive by £50 for the strap and maybe £75-100 for the bracelets. I get bracelets cost individually but it is a bit of an ask for a quartz. If they are all kept under £700 it would be an easier sell, mainly psychologically. CW have bust the older pricing brackets and the st...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

That’s brilliant! I’m so pleased yours have been sorted out properly! Unfortunately every time I look at mine (particularly on the 11th) the date wheel shouts out at me. I’m a bit sad about it but not sure what I’m going to do about it either. The watch is stunning but it was quite a wait, to then ...

Re: Experience of the eBay Authentication Service

I'd still have faith that the you will get some notification soon with either a new delivery slot or where the tracking updates. If it was on Thurs that it arrived at the DPD depot it could have been Mon or today when it went back to the sender. Some systems have more of an issue with tracking when ...

Re: Hour hand design

Are you referring to the brushed/filed ends of the hands or something else? If it is, the tip matches the other end of the hands and is just part of the design. I would prefer just the polished finish but it only really shows with keen eyes and when the light hits perfectly. I just consider it as gr...

Re: Matching watches and shoes

Just wondering how well you're matching your wrist wear and footwear this morning :D And..... bonus points if your watch is matching your pet?? :lol: Is there another bonus if your feet are facing in the same direction as the hands? Will have to wait until 10 past 10 for the classic watch pose.

Re: Am I overdoing it? Will I get banned by CW?

^^^ I understand how there could be that interpretation, but I would hope that any adult would reason they can’t expect a full refund for a used or damaged item. But having worked in food retail, I’ve seen and heard rationales deployed that would make the average person question the complainant’s s...

Re: Am I overdoing it? Will I get banned by CW?

One guy on reddit was recently complaining quite loudly that CW charged a refund fee of ~400 USD because he returned the watch after 45 days, worn, and with a scratch on it. Whilst we know what the 60/60 is and it can be found on the website, it isn't surprising that people make the wrong assumptio...

Re: TEN more LIMITED EDITION BEL CANTOS

Going off the length of time some people have been waiting for theirs, I’d remember to take a packed lunch as it might be a very long day. Also be prepared to give them a 3rd of the cash in the morning, be ignored when you ask what time you can collect it and to witness the launch of 3 other limite...

Re: Incoming (arrived) Retirement Gift

Congratulations.

As mentioned in a previous thread some time ago, when the boss pays themselves one of the highest salaries/dividends in the UK, I am surprised they went so cheap!

Re: Online reviewers: why can't they cope with the C1 Moonphase?

I respect the honesty of reviewers who are up front with "and I don't have to send this watch back" but then flipping the watch on EBay at RRP doesn't sit totally comfortably. I do think that "I don't like reviewing pre-production watches" translates easily to "I supplement...

Re: Online reviewers: why can't they cope with the C1 Moonphase?

Ironically, the thread title and original post is as clickbait as any YouTube video! The review seemed very fair and balanced to me. It was declared as a sponsored video so whilst any possible negatives were laid out at the start it was massively complimentary as a whole. The review even ended by sa...

Re: WR testing by CW after repair/service

I don't know the max rated machine that CW uses, but I understand them only testing at 3 bar. If they do only test to 3 bar it should be made clear before servicing because there’s no way you could trust a watch for diving or even swimming if it’s only tested as being safe for washing your hands. I...

Re: Other people’s perceptions

Someone might just think the Rolex is fake anyway! Whilst I expect there would of course be a general correlation between wealth and the watch worn, it is no longer surprising to see people wearing a watch that doesn't fit what may be expected - Whether that be low cost or high end. People have diff...

Re: Falling out of love

It is like dealing with a child who keeps getting new toys out to play with and not tidying up the rest first. Either a bystander is going to think, wow, they have a lot of toys or wow, what a mess. To me, CW look a bit of a mess, rather than giving off the air of exclusively and high demand. The Be...
