Re: Mike needs help again! Washington DC

I hadn't seen this -- I will be stopping by today and I plan to bring my Dartmouth II (which I have on a blue sailcloth strap at the moment).

Re: Just received my C65 Cranwell Series 2!

It looks great -- I've had a C65 Dartmouth series 2 for several months now and I love it. I can see myself adding another from their military collection at some point.

Re: C65 Desk Diver

The photos I've seen look terrific. On the one hand, it' s not something I'm anxious to purchase for myself. On the other hand, if I were more of a collector, I might be very glad to have one. I think it succeeds where a lot of alternative/funky/humorous designs fail - a clever bit of design that ac...

Re: When are YOU at your most excited?

None of the answers seems quite right. Which may be all for the best.

Re: CW v Rolex

As someone on the wait list for a Rolex sub, and having tried many alternatives, I wondered what people thought about the VFM of a CW v Rolex. This is the most modern of my CW watches and I love it. The question, Is not intended to spark debate, I just would like to know, via a vote, and taking VFM...

Re: Divers certifications

So I take it I am the only one who cares if CW does a ISO certified dive watch or not? I almost bought the new compressor and I think if that had diver on the dial I would have that now. I also would have snapped up the new watch today (which I still might go for...) The 3 CWs I do have are top qua...

Re: How long does CWL usually take to ship/dispatch orders?

I don't know what's typical, but I placed my order for a Dartmouth II on June 27 (this year), received a confirming email the same day, and received my watch, in the U.S., July 3 -- one week later. I'd say that things were handled promptly in my case.

Re: Coming: the ultimate C60 Trident Pro 300

This is not the Ultimate C60 300. Mike France has been hinting heavily that there is a major release coming in August. It is thought, that this August release is the teased ultimate C60 300.*

If the GMT were what was teased the marketing would have Ultimate C60 all over it.
Got it, thanks.

Re: Swimming in c63 valour

I assume that 150m is suitable for swimming (not for diving to a depth of 150m) but if it's a watch that hasn't been serviced in a good many years it's worth checking the gaskets. I gather that's not an issue for the c63 valour.

Re: Blue dial watch recommendations?

NYC WATCHnerd -- I ordered it based on the pics and second-hand recommendations, but if it's of interest, the actual watch has exceeded my expectations
