Re: Which LOCO colour would you pick?

I was chatting to one of the CW staff the other night and they said the initial orders seemed to put the colours in popularity order of
Orange
Black
Blue
White

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

Okay, mostly on topic, has anyone else had this email and hit the button to book? I've not seen it mentioned on here or the FB group and I'm not actually sure if I have a spot or not. (I'm not asking you lot that, that's a question for CW themselves). Screenshot_20250506_191801_Gmail.jpg I received...

Re: C12 Loco — Honest Takes & Bespoke Possibilities

Interesting topic, I ordered an orange dial because I wanted to be in that first drop, but I actually think I'd prefer it in a shade of green, a sort of dark metallic shade with a hint of brown or gold through it. Essentially, the BMW paint colour called Verde Ermes. What else would I change along w...

Re: Daft question from a nervous newbie. please be nice…

I'd say there's no right answer here, if you're confident, buy a basic bracelet adjustment set on Amazon and have a go yourself, it's really not that hard. However, this is a big purchase for you, and if you feel like you don't want to "mess it up" that's absolutely understandable, so you ...

Re: Which LOCO colour would you pick?

I've ordered the orange. The blue was very impressive, a lovely shade, and likely more versatile, but I have other watches for versatility, so orange it is.

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

... The screws on the dial are misaligned on all of the video samples I have seen. This is a detail that should be taken care of on an expensive watch that is designed specifically for you to study the dial closely. ... Sorry, I have to be picky here and pull this out. Please, show us a watch that ...

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

After watching the preview, I thought the orange one stood out. Placed an order for this colour but I’m in two minds . Really difficult to pick a colour without seeing one up front . The black would be the sensible choice but given I don’t have an orange dial watch, I went for this colour. I wonder...

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

@JasperCat I sent an email after the preview yesterday but have not had a payment request yet. Have you had one? I'm wondering whether to chase up.

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

The black/blue/orange all have vertical brushing on that top third behind the floating dial. The white model is flat with no texture. I couldn't quite tell at BAFTA if it was glossy or not. Will brackfield said it has a bit of a Stormtrooper vibe to it. To note, the white model is the only one that ...

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

... I’m intrigued to see what happens with CW-003 next, and its hopeful appearance in the (upper) middle of the range as a 6-day hand wound movement, with -0/+7 specs. Perhaps a second hand and a hacking movement might not go amiss to show that off? I asked about the lack of hack-ing seconds. I was...

Re: C12 Loco - A Revolution in Motion

I can quite understand if you have a Bel Canto and a 12 already, there'd be no desire for the new Loco. I'd been holding off on the 12, hoping for a 12 Dual Time (which i've suggested to both Mike & Will Brackfield), but i'm going for this one. When I got a look at it at British Watchmakers Day,...
