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.
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.
Just got this.

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

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.
I knew it had changed in the last day or two - it is beyond incredible

Disgusted frankly

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 -

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.
There's only about 40 left. Theres no RN matt divers left either.
CWC seem to be riding high on a wave of hipsters judging by their instagram feed. Honestly where else can you buy a 30 year old classic design proper military watch?
Still their Marine Nationale strap is cheaper than EO and it's lovely.
Wonder if the military is having a similar price hike for no apparent reason, if so that's pretty disgusting.
Got this today and its rather nice.

Another tempter today................................
New just in black RM 82 dated straps. Genuine New Old stock Vintage RM Falkland issue straps. Free postage worldwide on this item.
Genuine new old stock vintage RM Falkland issue buckle on new black MoD spec webbing strap. Date stamped on the buckle.
20mm will fit General Service and divers' watches. Quick pull adjustment ensures exact fit and is easy to get on and off. Extra long approx 400mm length, which will fit over divers' dry suits or combat gear where the standard Nato strap is too short to do this.
The buckle stays threaded for ease of use, just slide it on and off. Press watch against thigh or body to give resistance against the strap end,
Pull the strap end, to tighten, keepers fitted to retain excess strap.
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

The SBS is a nice watch but I am not sure the addition of a sapphire crystal warrants £200
The thick end of £700 for a Quartz divers watch based on a 1970s case is a bit rich
Would I buy one new? No!
Would I get rid of mine? No!
I got a link this morning to the GS Sapphire.
