Re: Lost in the Shadow of the Sale?

I'm so confused :-k

Can't decide if this is a grey dial pretending to be silver, a silver dial wearing a grey onesie, or a white dial that hasn't had a bath for two weeks :(

And does it replace, usurp or compliment a C65 SH21 LE?

Re: New SH21 C63 Snow Leopard and BMF for Q2

:clap: Where do snow leopards fit in with this theory of yours??? On the CW website there is an article about the money raised for snow leopards (David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation) from sales of the Anthropocene. A reasonable guess would be another white dial watch using the SH21 movement to suppo...

New SH21 C63 Snow Leopard and BMF for Q2

In the latest Loupe on page 9, there's an article about v2 of the SH21 movement. The same article goes on to say that the C63 Snow Leopard and C63 BMF will be the last watches with the current v1 SH21.

Not heard of either of these watches, anyone know what Mike's referring to?

Please stop posting lovely pics of that C63 white dial, especially ones with the straps saucily arranged around it.

Seriously making me consider one :kopfwand:

Re: New Sealander colors coming Thursday.

Seems I'm in the minority here thinking these are very .... ordinary :(

Same silver indices, same colours seen on other watches, same look, everything, just a smaller size. Oh, and we'll make it a Limited Edition because we've run out of other ideas.

Re: Advice on saving for a big purchase

Here's a question; substitute the watch for another big purchase like a house or car. Would your approach differ? Is there a preference for a longer term "save for what you want" or the shorter term "buy what you can get now"? I don't think there's anything wrong with the shorter...

Re: Any suggestions for Cheap Automatic with Power Reserve Feature

Orient do plenty of great watches with a power reserve for under £200. Alternatively, you could go much cheaper with something like a Parnis. Depends how cheap you want really.

I had this very same problem with a friend's watch and sorted it with some PTFE silicon spray - see my thread here -> other-brands/any-tips-to-loosten-an-ext ... 58544.html

I've been going the other way round. Previously preferred watches on bracelets but now switching out the bracelet for a decent strap.

Re: Morgan Sales and SH21 Ltd edition musings

I always felt the Morgan tie-up was an odd one for a brand chasing a younger, more dynamic customer base. Wouldn't be surpised if they haven't sold as well as expected although I did like black C1 3 wheeler.

Re: CW Wish List

A white dial with black outline skeleton hands and anything but silver indices. A grand complication would be .... grand. Extra brownie points if CW can slot in a small moonphase. More SH21 models and would be good to see what CW come up with for a chronograph that has an extra dial for a power rese...

Re: Love at first sight, or a slow burn...

Happens all the time to the best of us. Sometimes there's no bond immediately, other times it slowly fades after weeks, months, years. Beautiful watch, if it were mine and I had any doubts, I'd put it out of sight for a few weeks and then take a look at it again so see how I feel (I often do this wi...

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button

I’d be more than happy to 😊 Thanks for sharing the great pics. Interested to hear your view that telling the time is not an issue with a quick flick of the wrist. Would you say that telling the time with precision is harder? Say for example, a quick glance at the time in your pics show it's about 8...
