Re: C8 Black Hawk

I notice the CW website no longer says "available 21st Jan" on the C8 Black Hawk. Does this mean they are now available (I hope so) or does it mean they are delayed again and the due date is unknown (Oh no!)? My order status still says "Awaiting Stock/Reservation Made"...... Assu...

Re: I want a C8 Now!

I also badly want a C8IPK. But, having just got a C3 and and C5 Aviator (in NN sale), I having some difficulty getting it past the financial controller (wife). Last night, I had a brainwave.

Re: comments and pics for c3

Hi I chose a C3 for my first CW watch and I'm over the moon with it. When I first saw it 'in the flesh' I was surprised at the quality, given the modest price. The whole design is very 'clean' (if that makes any sense). There is no pretence or unnecessary features, but the features it has are very w...

Re: I want a C8 Now!

Do you think it would work? No, the house will need redecorating first. Gotta be worth a try, but the words NEW and KITCHEN and BATHROOM come to mind!! :lol: All those "And's" start to sound expensive.. Might have to go down the other route and just buy one for myself! After all, it is so...

There is always a price to pay... What if I promise to be nice to the MIL?

Re: Straps: Decisions, Decisions, ...

Don't forget; from a previous thread, if you get an alligator strap you'll have to get an alligator belt and shoes to match or you will look really silly and will never pull a bird. :lol: Nice one... I have the new C3 leather strap (albeit a brown one) and find it really comfortable. It also looks ...

Re: Leather Straps - Question

Yeah, that's what I thought - the older straps may be less comfortable...

So I may have to get an alternative strap for my 'new' swiss movement C5...

Thanks for your help.

Leather Straps - Question

Hi I would like to understand the difference between the two versions of CW leather straps. Specifically for the C5 Aviator, the current model numbers are suffixed with a '2' -e.g. C5AXT2. There are some straps in the sale which are without the '2' e.g. C5AXT. I have a new C3 with (I assume) a '2' s...

Re: Potential new customer for C7

Just to add some balance.... My wife ordered a C3 for my Christmas present. It arrived in 2 or 3 days and (to my un-educated eyes at least), it is perfect in every way. The quality of the watch far exceeded my expectations given the modest price. The packaging and service were also top-notch. On the...

Re: Newbie to the forum, Soon to be an owner!

Thanks for all the welcomes! I've been looking at the gallery on here and I am now seriously hooked! To be honest, I can't see a CW watch that I don't want! The C8 Black Hawk is seriously cool, but I will have to wait a decent interval before I go for one of those! With a limited edition of 200, how...

Newbie to the forum, Soon to be an owner!

Hello I've been hanging around this forum and especially the CW site for a while now, so I thought I should say hello... After some subtle(?) hints, my wife has decided to buy a CW watch for my Christmas present. I gave her a short-list and she has ordered one of them.. I have a strong suspicion it ...
