Re: How many CW watches do you own
I agree that the original C5 Is far better looking than the mk2. When evolution goes bad.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 9:19 am Interesting point, Paul.
I suspect that one of the longest production runs, if not THE longest, was that achieved by the original C5 Mk I . It first went on sale in June 2005, and the Mk II version was not released until July 2012.
Personally, I always thought the second version much less attractive than the first. The same was also true for me of its chronograph counterpart the C3.
The newer dress watch cases are much nicer, though I feel that the dials and movement decoration are perhaps somewhat bland by comparison with the original C5.

Re: How many CW watches do you own
Purchased 37 & currently own 3 (waiting for 1 more to be released and one hopefully on used market).
Re: How many CW watches do you own
My reply would be are you actually going to buy from CW or just posting a ugwc type thread?

Re: How many CW watches do you own
Mine is: purchased 57 and currently own 9.
So Kirk's ratio is 12.33:1
Mine is only 6.33:1
I suppose anyone who has bought at least one CW watch and now has none, will have the highest ratio, at infinity:1.
Sorry, getting all maths-geeky now!

Sorry to hear that, Kirk. That's awful for you. I hope, for your sake, you had some insurance cover.

Re: How many CW watches do you own
That I can account for, I’ve purchased 92 CWs. I still own 27 of them, 13 were gifts, the rest (presumably 52) have been sold. I have not included a very small number of purchase and returns in that count (2 that I can recall). I‘m fairly sure there are still some undocumented purchases in addition to that.

Think if there’s anything in my signature it’s probably out of date

Re: How many CW watches do you own
Was a painful process to go through to be honest when there were too many watches, especially for someone who did not have quite enough pictures for proof of ownership.
Saying all that, there aint too many CWs I had at the time could not be replaced (JH MKI & C9 SH21 Green are 2 I am still searching.)
