I just picked up a CWC watch off the dreaded ebay which was poorly listed, although in the end, not that much of a bargain (not a bargain at all in fact - the old drink and ebay mixture was hard at work). Anyhow it's arrived and is exactly as described, but I'm struggling with the serial number. I think it must be a relatively new one, as it has the 'water resistant 5ATM on the caseback, but it does have tritium dial. The serial number is C1729. Is this a civvie one? If so, does that serial suggest a date of manufacture?
It also has the numbering W10/6645-99 5415317 but I don't know if that's stamped on all casebacks?
Also, the movement is a 955.102 It's a non runner, but I've yet to establish whether it's just a dead battery or something more fundamental.
EDIT - just checked the battery which is reading 0.37V so it's safe to say that even if the movement's not dead, the battery is..
