Interesting link - thanks
Not keen on the PVD diver but the chronos look good
I had an SBS diver bought for me in April ( still have it ) but had to take it back as the second hand was not hitting the marker bang on ( watch ocd ). Luckily for me I am in driving distance into London so had the advantage of picking out the best one as an exchange. Apart from that it's a fantastic watch, if you like that kind of thing.
Just abit of advice, get them to check it before it's sent out to you.
Managed to get it before the price hike & negotiated a discount with Silvermans.
Love mine. Until very recently I owned the classic original as well, but the re-issue is totally working for me these days...

Latest tonight, checkout the straps.

Great deals on these. I just got the message myself. Nothing wrong with a gently used one.
Get 'em while you can.
Here's mine I picked up last year. Now I'm hooked.
This is my first post here but I am active on WUS. Do I have time for two forums?

CWC have infomed me that you can now pre-order the SBS, for delivery in February

That cwc chrono re issue is a proper time reading instrument - it looks quality and of the period
How much were the reissues going for 5 or 10 years ago? Not impressed with the recent price hikes.
A lot less - I remember silvermans sending me the magazine order brochure for all they're stuff - I'm sure they weren't over £1000 more like £600Originally Posted by Timelord

I bought my 1970's Remake Chrono for £770 shipped to the USA.
And Silvermans have just jacked the price up from £1500 to £1750.
Just got this.

The cwc divers were £199

Wow!
Were those quartz or automatic?
The quartz were £200 back in the day and the auto non date was £350 and bit more for a date . I’m sure the SBS was £299. Again we are going back to 2010 maybe further

An yes I've just followed the link and seen the price hike YET AGAIN -the divers are £679 for quartz - are they taking the Michael ?
I was on the cwc site the other day and as god as my witness they where not that much maybe for the auto version

Yep auto diver in my Silverman brochure auto non date £350

Yesterday the RN auto watch was £649. Today it's £899. Likewise, the quartz version was £449 and now £679. They jacked the prices up last year. Ridiculous.
Much as I like my 2 or 3 year old quartz RN, and leaving the rate of increase aside (presumably they think most buyers are new, one-off visitors who are not aware of previous pricing), £679 is bound to reduce sales. I wouldn’t pay that for the quartz now. It’s good, but I think of it as a £300 watch. Standard sapphire and better bezel account for some of the increase of course.
I knew it had changed in the last day or two - it is beyond incredible

Disgusted frankly

Much as I love their watches, I have to agree.
I loved my navy diver quartz but could never outlay what they are asking now for it just on some perverse principle that I will always know the original price I paid -

I regret selling my sbs. I think this one will stay

That looks a cracker.
Yes please...........................
Hmmm
I pulled out of an eBay bidding run on a 2013 SBS at £425 - it went for £450.
Whilst I like them, I am not sure I like them at the money being discussed here.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I fully agree Chris. I wouldn't want to pay that much for a work/rough and tumble watch and have it end up looking like mine . . . ;-)
F.T.F.A.
Swing and a miss. I’d have expected more than a cheapo tin box for £2k, too. CWC are very greedy.
I've had the email, looks tempting

Worthy of a huge price hike!
I know it seems to be fashionable to bash Silvermans for their price increases - but to be fair I found the customer service excellent. I swapped the Falklands strap for the French NDC strap and they were responsive, prompt and helpful throughout the process.

That's a good shot of the French on the CWC. Very good. The whole Silverman's site deserves a good look round, not just the watches. I would like to visit the shop one day.
Whilst their new shop is an improvement on the old. They still don't have much on display bar the 'fashion items' such as Alpha jackets and some of the more expensive boots like Altberg.
If you want something else shown on the website or catalog you have to ask at the counter and they will bring it down to you.
It's like an army surplus Argos

That sounds fantastic! If only I had an excuse for buying any of the stuff...
Thats good to know. When I was a kid, and lived in London, I used to spend all my pocket money in Laurence Corner army stores. They were near the top of Tottenham Court Road if I remember right.................
Recently had my Mk1 up for sale, no interest, not even silly offers.
Quite glad in a way as I really enjoy it.
Foolishly sold mine on SC
Then sensibly bought it back 18 months later
Was that on SC? Never saw it?Recently had my Mk1 up for sale, no interest, not even silly offers.
