Omega Boutique as opposed to an AD which muddies the waters somewhat.

Every watch brand has these sorts of issues. You just don't hear about them all. These type of issues show up most often in the 'pre-order' world that we live in now. CW and a lot of other companies effectively fund production by taking pre-orders for the watches before they are built. This is fine ...

I love the Garage Assembled and Superlative Troublemaker. The Submariner includes Hand Wash Certified.

For me, the issue with the Lumiere, is that it's a bit too 'left field' and the case size limited the overlap potential. Making the Lumiere, 40mm for example, would have opened the possibility for a variety of steel versions without necessitating new bezels and sapphires. I'm not in the position to...

The 40mm C60 Trident 300 is £950 while the 40 mm C60 Trident 300 GMT is £1185. That’s a £235 difference. Not too bad. The case doesn’t need to be slimmer. The GMT version is actually slightly thicker. I much prefer the sw300 movement. The SW200 is 4.6mm The SW330 is 4.1mm The SW300 is 3.6mm The GMT...

Is that the new Forum edition? Love how it looks so simple and classy but also full of character.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, this is the 2023 FLE (Forum Limited Edition). The backstory and some of the design ethos can be found in these threads.

What's the difference between C1 and C9. Still learning my way around the CW world.

The Archive is your friend.

C1 Moonphase

C9 Moonphase

CW would argue that they already offer this with the Lumiere and the C63 Elite*. You might not like the look of what is on offer (or want more choice) but it is higher grade materials and higher grade movements at a higher cost (SW300 COSC in the Lumiere - if the C63 Elite were designed today I woul...

21mm will be a pain for many aftermarket rubber straps. I know that Artem does make 21mm in their sailcloth straps. Zealande makes some really high end rubber straps specifically for the PO models with 21mm lugs but they are pricey. I did a quick eBay search and there are a few options available mos...

cgiampietro Finally success! After several fits and starts (I have a small pile of failures sitting on my desk) on locating an aftermarket strap for the PO I hit the jackpot. It has the same look as the original OEM strap (which is what I was really looking for) and it was a very reasonable price. ...
