Never owned a CW - was tempted by the C11 Extreme myself a while ago. Other than that C9/C900 are the other models they do that appeal to me. Not a fan of the dial logo. And they do have an 'in-house' movement - well, it's in-house now after they merged with the Swiss company that make it (Synergies Horlogères SA).

The C11 does have a bit of a Bell & Ross vibe to it - this is how they do it:

The C11 is still nice though.

Everything else in the range just looks like an homage, just like Steinhart.

The C11 seems to have a decent movement and CW customer service seems good so if you really like the design then why not?

My daily watch is a limited edition BBMF C4 peregrine it has the BBMF crest on it and that has certainly faded over the 4 years of ownership. However it does always draw comments and I do like it as a watch however for the prices they are asking now I would go elsewhere.
