Talk to me about these watches. Ive had a butchers online and there are a few I like a lot and reasonable prices too. Where can one try a few on?

[sneijder]

Massive following here on PH.

Don't see it myself, reasonable value if you look at the movements being used, but they just don't bring anything to the table.

They have blowout sales every now and again.

I have one of these.



It is lovely, good feel, and weight. Every now and then my eye catches it and I think 'wow, thats cool'.

Great packaging and personal touch from the factory.

I would really recommend CW every time, but then again, I am only a beginner when it comes to watches.

Incidently I ordered this watch on the evening that I returned from a long weekend trip to the Somme battlefields.

When the watch arrived, I noticed that it's serial number was 1916.......which was nice.

I like that.

Where could I try them on? or is it just online sales?

Have a C7 and a C2LE both seem to be very good quality and have a good hefty feel to them. Personally they are very good value for money and the service from CW has been excellent.

Another example of their excellent service. Free returns after 60 days

I've got a C40 Speedhawk, very good quality and keeps great time.

I've got one of their watches and I love it. Get's lots of positive comments which, although not why I bought it, is nice. It did stop working despite a battery change but I sent it back on their 60-60 thing (60 days to send it back, 60 months warranty I think) and it was fixed and sent back, at no charge to me, in no time (if you'll pardon the pun).

I'd heartily recommend them - but I'm neither a watch expert nor a watch snob.

I received my C70 DBR1 on saturday. Very pleased with it. Quality is equal to higher end watches. I'd like it to be a bit heavier, but it's on a strap rather than a bracelet so that's probably why, and not a lack of quality.

All online.

Office (if you can call it that, think warehouse/workshop) is in Maidenhead.

They have a very good returns policy (60 days) so you can always return it for a full refund if you don't like it.

I doubt you will return it though. Quality well above the price tag.

I have on of their RAF editions (based on the Chrono pic above) and really like it.
I wouldn't have spent £300 on it, but for £100 for a quartz chrono I thought it was a damn good deal.
I know it's stupid but the letter they sent with it was a nice touch.

OP I'm more than happy to lend you mind to try if you're interested.

[krusty]

There are lots of C70 DBR1 owners here, me included.

[BoRED S2upid]

Im liking this one at the moment http://www.christopherward.co.uk/c70us.html

And if I can send it back if I don't like it on my wrist everythings good.

Not done the sending back thing myself but from what I've heard, yep.

[CommanderJameson]

I have a C8 Pilot Mk 1.



It could possibly be for sale. It could possibly change hands for in the region of one quarter of a bag of sand. But this isn't an advert, so cast such ideas out of your mind.

Sorry I can't stretch to 25p. How does 20p sound? I'll pay postage

[al1991]

Never really 'got' CW unfortunately.

Having said that the January sales were a bargain and I was very nearly tempted.

Therein lies the rub for me.

I think their "full" prices for the quartz pieces are a bit of a joke, but the sale prices are much more realistic. That's just my opinion mind, and I may change my mind once I handle one.

[nitsypee]

I've a black faced C5 aviator - it looks like a smaller version of Commander's watch, above. Bought it in the sales in their "nearly new" section. (I waited for something in the sales.)

Very good in terms of both price and quality. And the customer service is excellent.

I'm tempted by one of those too. Not a massive fan of all the colours but I think its growing on me. They're currently £125. Do you know of any discount codes?
