Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)

Thought I'd give a 'hummer' an outing today. (Old photo). Citizen Hisonic with Stardust dial. Dec.1973, cal.3702A. "Hummmmmmmm" http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=83698X1535590&xs=1&isjs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fforumgallery%2Fmonthly_2017_08%2Flarge.DSC0378...

Re: If it where not for this......

I don't mind the snowflake hands but the type I really hate are the hands that look like condoms.
Also, a big no no for me, are the seconds hands on some watches that are too short.

Re: CW Field Watch

A field watch is a direct descendant of the military watches issued during WW1. Usually tough and very legible. For example: https://www.gearhungry.com/best-field-watches/ I think this explains why CW haven't done a Field Watch, I think the Field, pun intended, limited as demand may be is fairly we...

I have today taken delivery of my first CW watch.

Re: Will I or Won't I ?

For somebody that likes a watch enough to buy it/keep it and not buy it, sell it, buy it, sell it, buy it etc I just don't understand. Please educate me. Surely there must be something you feel is wrong in the design of such a watch that means you'll never be totally happy with it ? Just saying, so...

I had a B Moony for a couple of months but not bothered about another one. Does the Betty Ford re-hab clinic have a WIS dept? R...

Re: Blue on Blue - A new Trident

I did think about the B on B but thought that it maybe too much blue, so I went for this instead. Now, as usual, it's spending a lot of time in it's box. http://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/forumgallery/monthly_2018_01/medium.DSC04004.JPG.4cd9b7c74162d7225764b55e12670ed1.JPG http://s3.eu-west-2.amazon...
