Re: Is this how they get you?

You must have something on your mind then. Those red bezels... Was the news that they will be discontinued in the C60 range a factor in your consideration? I have a red bezel C60 GMT, so I don't have the urge to buy one at the moment. That said, if CW decides to produce a LE that is the last of the...

Re: How Does Watch Design Compare To Toothpaste?

In terms of quickest turn over, I would say the C60 Elite 1000 LE. The entire run was sold in three weeks.

It's true. Mike France mentioned it during one of CW's GTGs. Their supplier had decided to stop producing that colour.

I was offered £20k for this one, mind you it was attached to a severed arm.

Re: What would I like CW to Design next?

I'd like to see another Sapphire watch but with more of the works visible.

I agree.

I would safely assume that the gears and other parts are commercially available, in order to keep costs as low as possible.

I would prefer it in the 42mm case.

It is more likely to be the quarter year of the chronograph.

Re: Loupe - New Releases and Promo Code

Is it safe to assume that former and current Royal Marines will be highly impressed with the C60 Lympstone? In my opinion, CW has hit the proverbial ball out of the park with this design. My only complaint is no available bracelet but it looks great on the hybrid straps. I wondered if CW would ever ...

Re: Loupe - New Releases and Promo Code

Thanks for posting this Patrick. Interesting that CW have selected the C60, over and above the C65, for the Royal Marines watch. Guy Sent from my Xperia 5 using Tapatalk I've always suspected that CW would include other cases in their military line. In my opinion, the C60 was a natural next choice.

Re: Using UV light to sanitize watch?

Diciannove79, I get the impression you are considering designing a UV sanitising device. You are certainly asking the right questions. Firstly, five minutes of exposure of bright UV light is considerable overkill. UV light kills bacteria by breaking the atomics bonds in its DNA molecules. This happe...

Re: Updates on more titanium models?

I made a 'start of the year' assumption that there may be a titanium C65. If it does materialise then it may satisfy your 40mm criterion. While the C65 is very handsome, it doesn't quite tickle my fancy.... Besides, a vintage style diver should have a "vintage" steel case [emoji28] Sent f...
