What is your favourite CWL watch?

Post by Amor Vincit Omnia »

I started something similar about three years ago, but with so many comings and goings among the membership it might be a good idea to refresh it.

It doesn’t have to be one that you own, it can be one that you have owned, or have never owned but would have liked to own, and so on and so on and so on. :yawn:

Cut the blether, AVO, and get to it.

No-bainer for me – it has to be the only watch I have ever owned twice! I bought the first one back in 2011 when I first joined the forum and absolutely loved it. For some reason I convinced myself stupidly that it was too big and that I didn’t like chronographs...(Hello, Speedy owner here!) :shock:

I sold it but regretted it for a long time, then about two years ago our late friend Kevin and I did a little trade which included this watch coming to me.

It is of course the C70 DBR1 (original version).

This one....it’s the only CW that I sometimes have a little regret selling but don’t think I would ever buy one again but is definitely my favourite CW :D

For me there is little to choose between the 2012 FLE, aka the scooter blue, and the C80 Sector.

The former because of my involvement with it and the C80 because of the history behind it.

For me it has to be the Makaira Elite, my first CW auto.

The blue Makaira holds a special place in my heart because it was the first automatic CW that I bought, and the first to impress me enough to spend that kind of money! The limited edition purple C3 Malvern is also dear as it was a gift from my mother, and it does a great job of replicating the Rolex bling it was inspired from.

In the end, though, I'd have to say the Trident PRO 600 is my favorite. I had wanted one for so long, and I was able to grab it half off. Out of production and beautiful to look at. It offers much for the price, and it just looks so sharp.

Whilst I love both my Tridents, I think the C600 Tri-Tech has to be my favourite. I’ve just received the returns envelope from CW, as I’m sending it in for repair and a service.

Such a hard question for me........
Out of the 15 CW's that I own, I would have to pick the C9 Jumping Hour MK3 SGWS.
I always loved them and was very fortunate to get one in the end.
I like everything about it, so unusual and distinctive.

Of all the CW watches I've owned, and there's been a few, by default, that is, the only one that I have kept, is this one:

I think the one that made the most impression on me (out of the 30-odd that have passed through my collection) was this one:

That's a bit of a Sophie's choice. Ultimately, just based on how often I look at it when I wear it it has to be my C60 Trident Professional 600 or my C7 Rapide Chronograph COSC LE.ImageImage

It's a tough question. The two favourite models of CW for me are the C11 and C60 Trident and I've owned quite a few of each. The C11 Elite is a great watch, but I'm going to go for a Trident as I think that is the best watch CW have ever released.

At the moment my favourite Trident is this one, even slightly edging the iconic Scooter at the moment:
