Re: Well that’s a disappointment Again! C60 Concept

I wish mine would fall off. That is my least favorite part of the concept. I wish they had just make it a full circle of loom.

I'm guessing three kings day. Same as the last two years.

Re: C1 Bel Canto Preview

This has been a standard approach for ages, not just with CW either. I was at CW Towers with a friend a few years ago checking out a few watches and Mike came in for a chat. After a while he asked if we would like to see something special, which of course, we did. He brought out the prototype of th...

Re: C1 Bel Canto Preview

Reading some of the posts in this thread has reminded me that I forgot to moan and stamp my feet when the Concept was launched! :lol: :) I never received an invitation for a personal online preview ahead of the normal forum one. Totally outrageous, as I was able to identify from posts on the forum ...

Re: C65 bronze

Bronze makes your skin go green, so the watch has a stainless back, which works perfectly. I suspect the bracelet is expensive because it's a composite bronze with stainless inner. But That's a guess. I did check this one out at Windup yesterday. The caseback is indeed stainless, but the bronze bra...

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button

Sale is live. Strange that there is another Prototype Apex C60. I know someone else who has the same 000.

Re: C8 Disaster.

^^^^ Let's not lose sight that the SH21 is an in-house movement. Would a 'local watchmaker' be able / allowed to repair an in-movement from Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Zenith, Damasko or any number of other brands?

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

My problem in trying to envision this is that the two Apex models produced so far have a slightly industrial look about them (in a good way). It works very well on the C7 and C60 but I wouldn’t think it was such a good look on a dress watch. I think you’re absolutely right. This begs the question o...

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

Did they really abandon Apex or just rebrand it as Elite? I’d say abandoned. They were announced as limited production watches to celebrate the 5 year (I think it was 5?) anniversary of the SH21 movement. That’s definitely distinct enough with intention (and design when one looks at the C7 Apex and...

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

Yeah, there was an interview with Mike France earlier this year where he said the Apex line had been discontinued and that they were working on something very cool in the November time frame that would hopefully show everyone that ditching the Apex was the right call. The idea of abandoning the Ape...

Re: Any new CWs in the pipeline?

The one I’m looking out for is the C60 Concept LE. It’s apparently set to “push the design envelope of the dial and calibre SH21”. Coming autumn 2021. And does the C1 Powerglow indicate a C1 Apex in the works? I’d like to think so. C60 Concept LE is due November. C1 Apex has been pushed back, proba...

Re: Exclusive CW Forum Prototype Sale

WOW. I kind of really like this. Too bad I don’t have $2800+ to spare :shock: It doesn’t show up for me anywhere on the prototype sale page or anywhere within CW. Only if I click your link. How did you find it? I found it by searching for 'prototype' in the search box. This C1 showed up and was a p...

Re: US Customs Help

Yeah, remember that there is a flat rate on the movement and a percentage on the bracelet and case. So, if you have an SH21, you can put most of the value on the movement and get away paying about the same as someone with a sw200 since the only big difference in value is the movement.

A black with red stripe would look great with my C65 AM GT LE!
I totally agree. This would look great on my C7 Apex.

Cult Pens is the only weekly email I read from start to end. I did take a perverse pleasure in being the only teacher to write with a fountain pen.
