Worst 3 watches
Worst 3 watches
I'm sure there are many threads for best of, but in your opinion what are/were the worst 3 watches ever made by CW. I've only been collecting for a few months therefore I don't have any. They are look good to me.

Not sure about watches but the worst strap was the awful glossy orange leather strap masquerading as a brown vintage leather that you previously got with aviation watches was was pretty bad.

Re: Worst 3 watches
I don't think there is any CW watches out there which are bad as everyone will have different taste in their own style of watch.
I have not been collecting long either so could be totally way off the mark on this one and their might be a modal out there which might not be so great.

+1. I like the design, just the comfort level isn't great.yuri9206 wrote:For me too.

Re: Worst 3 watches
Well, I am aware that I am in a small minority, but I have never liked the Tridents. I wasn't keen on the square Henleys, and I don't care for the square Slimline2.
None of them are in any way bad, they just never floated my boat.

Wow the Sector looks way out there. I can't decide if I like it or not, could be a marmite thing.

Re: Worst 3 watches
I like the Sector, original, colourful and has a "story" in terms of the military association.
No offence to other forumites who may own/love these watches but I have never really liked the original C3 mk1 or mk2, whereas I really like the mk3. Also not particularly keen on CW square watches.

Re: Worst 3 watches
Not bad watches and popular with many but:
- Slimline square. I like the slimline but to me the proportions of the square were wrong.
- C70 series. I wanted to like them. I tried on a few on different occasions. Unfortunately I just couldn't get beyond the depiction of the 3, 9 and 12 and just how busy the dials are. Not exactly subtle!

Re: Worst 3 watches
The only one I can think of immediately as a dislike is the C11 chrono which keeps the jumbo 3 6 and 9 from the standard model then chops half of them off with the subdials.
Re: Worst 3 watches
Any of the sector watches to be fair
But even they aren't as bad as the vomit inducing purple c5!
