You could, but I doubt that very much.

Paid for mine yesterday. :grin:

Price is more than fair for what it is and where it sits in the hierarchy of CW watches.

Far more stylish and exclusive than an alternative 'Supersonic' offer. :wink:

It's good that we all have different opinions. Though to be fair, I'm not sure I like either of them.

I’ve just had the “ping” in my inbox with the promotional email. I’m hoping to get to the Maidenhead showroom in a few weeks, so I’ll hope to check it out then.

Well, a fool and his money are easily parted. It will certainly be a conversation piece, but otherwise, for me, and I am sure many others, it's looks awful, and no, I am not fan of the Bremont version either, but at least an official tie in with BA.

Call me what you will.

My money and I will spend it in whatever manner I see fit.

Statement and not a matter for discussion.

Wow! Don't sit on the fence pal!!!!

Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, I personally feel that was uncalled for.....

It would be extremely boring if we all liked the same things.

Touched a nerve I see. Is this your policy, or mod policy?

You're on a watch forum, you are expressing views and leaving little digs here and there, surely I am allowed my say as well, to express my opinion?

My policy, nothing to do with being a Moderator.

I don't appreciate being called a fool.

End of.

Strewth, that's a bit harsh. Just because you don't personally like it doesn't mean that anyone who does is a fool.

O e could say the same about many watches/collections on here, including large numbers of vintage, modern, etc etc when you can only wear one at a time and a five quid Casio will do just fine.

Just a bit personal in my humble opinion.

Well that is quite cheeky. Obviously you are entitled to your opinion but not to the point of insult.

It’s not cheeky it’s rude, manners cost nothing leave the insults to the playground

Back to topic
the watch in question in my view is better value then bremont I do like the style of both more I look at them both I’ve seen the Bremont in person so can’t wait to see some out in the wild shots on the CWL version , oh yeah congratulations to Guy on his incoming ;)
