I've seen some of the limited edition watches that looked quite good and wondered if anyone here had experience of the brand or owned one?

I've got a C3 which I haven't worn for a while due to newer purchases but it's a very nice watch and extremely good value for money. I bought mine in 2008ish and it's still going well.

I've got a Malvern Automatic. Seems good quality for the price. Few of my friends have bought them subsequently and I think they're all pleased with them.

I have one of the quartz Chronos, seems a very nice watch. Bought it in the New Years' sale, where it was a very good buy!

I've got a C8 Pilot Mk 1, which is a very well-made watch that keeps reasonable time.

It turns out that fliegers aren't my thing, so I'm moving it on - but that's the only reason.

I've also bought a couple of the quartz pieces as presents - one for my wife, and one for my brother-in-law - and they're doing sterling service as daily wearers.

I have a C7 and a C2LE both of which seem well made and reliable and using their 60 day return facility means you can see if you like it or not.

I've got a C70 DBR1 in my collection. Very nice watch for the price. No complaints at all

I bought a c8 pilot (brown leather) in the Fathers Day sale last week. I'm very pleased with it and I think in puches above its weight. In fact its been commented on twice in a week. My Oris Diver Date, Oris BC3 advanced and my Seamaster have never raised a comment. Go figure.

Forgot to add, it loses about 8-10 seconds a day (although this may improve with use). The others are around 4-6 seconds a day. I'm sad and check weekly...

My C8 Mk2



I like it, but would prefer a bigger exhibition case back so I'm thinking of flipping it for an Archimede XLA. Plus, and I know it's only a little thing but really niggles, the case back says 25 jewels, but the rotor says 26 jewels. I guess I got a Selitta movement instead of the ETA
