Hello Laura - I have different CW watches including C3s and C5s. I would suggest that you consider a watch that might appeal on aesthetic grounds and stays in budget, rather than one he might get fed up 'fiddling' with occasionally, so a black faced C3 should hit the spot! http://i263.photobucket.co...

'what does giving it a sharp whack do'... I think you should give it a bit of a talking to. Now, you've scared it...UB

There's a mechanical release, isn't there? A leetle tiny hole in the outer edge of the tray that you investigate with a straightened paper clip. Fiddle, fiddle, push and 'bingo'. I should unplug it first...UB

A couple of snaps which show my pleasure with the colour and the strap contour - http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii137/UncleBillscat/100_1627.jpg http://i263.photobucket...

I would think that a number of watches have a proud-sitting crystal. I have never chipped or damaged one and I haven't heard of anyone so doing. You might be better off asking if anyone has chipped, scraped, scarred or damaged one of these saphire crystals...UB

Well, the Postman has just brought me my CW box and been chased round the front garden by my Shih-Tzu, Rooney. They both regard it as a non-contact spectator sport, but it sounds good. One of them slowed sufficiently for me to sign on the dotted electronic line and then I shouted 'Rooney!', sufficie...

Following a service on a non-CW automatic, it kept stopping as well. On return to the watchmaker, he opened the back and loosened the rotor mount; just like that... He said "Sorry about that" and it's been no more trouble. I have had one or two new autos that seemed a bit tight and new at ...
