Reply With QuoteDoes anyone know if the Pulsar G10 is still being issued?
In view of the price hikes at CWC, one has to wonder why the MOD doesn't go back to Precista, at least for the divers. The PRS-18Q would be a better bet than the CWC RN or SBS divers.
Very pricey for a G10.Originally Posted by luckywatch
We could all down that route in having a sapphire fitted.

I would hazard a guess that the MOD may pay over the odds for CWC watches, but they will be paying far less than members of the public.
Just in tonight.

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?

Latest tonight, checkout the straps.

The straps are not for me. The fact that the reissue 1980 will only have 50 pieces in the first tranche means I fear my estimate of a grand may be way out

Just Seen New mk2s in, sapphire, 120 click bezel quartz and auto, 1980 reissue diver still not ready yet
about £1.700 ish I was told today
I really hope it won't be that much, but I fear that it will.
Well after all the long build up, that's me out(if true).
Ooh, big fan of that French military strap. I have a Type Demineur en route, and that'll go nicely with it.
Just received my mk II quartz diver. Having owned quite a few of these over the years I would say that the significant price hike had been matched with significant improvements in quality. Not just the 120 click bezel and sapphire crystal upgrade but also the fit and finish. The bezel for example now comes with slightly recessed numerals with painted infill and the lume pip is more neatly applied.
I went for the polished version which is actually quite subtle but lends it a more expensive feel.
So overall far less agricultural in build than they used to be (still too expensive though!)

That 80's reissue is very very nice, any ideas on the price?
mike
Mike, when I ordered the above I asked about the 80s re issue, Rachel at silvermans told me it'll
be about £1700 ish.
Crikey, that's me out then!!!
mike
Me too, I would of bought at around £1100-1200, above that no.
Great photos, is that a new stainless steel day date model? Is it brushed and polished? I think that's the best combination. I have a tritium one which is having a sapphire glass fitted at the moment which I think should make it the perfect tool watch.
I enquired again recently and was told around £2,000
its a mk 2 quartz, polished case and the sbs dial. Same price as the sbs.
I think you can order whatever you like ? I noticed on cwc instagram a brushed case black bezel and crown version.
WowI enquired again recently and was told around £2,000We are all used to the old prices, but this whole instagram stuff etc is finding new customers who never knew how cheaper they once were ?
Got the CWC email today and it's going to be an initial batch of 100 for £1999 each!
The colour and glossy look of the dial lume doesn't look quite right to me, would have preferred if it matched the hands. Glad I'm not 100% on it in the end as way out of what if have been willing to spend.
I have just seen this email as well
With luck I have a meeting around the corner from silvermans this afternoon
If I can get there before closing I will pop in and report back
I do like it though, it's just double what I would be willing to spend
Cheers
John

That was my price range too. £1,999 is far to expensive.
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 don't think it's just CWC being greedy. I'd suggest it's Silverman's having some input too.
its a miss for me too, don't like the faux patina and the price tag is way too high.
Wonder if it will end up being discounted when they've still got half of them in stock in six months time?
I might be wrong but I thought that Silverman's & CWC are actually the same group of guys... So it's really just about £/$'s
Silverman's rarely discount... As shown by the CWC mechanical Chronographs that they had in stock for years!Cabot Watch Company was founded in 1972 by Ray Mellor but is now owned by Silverman’s...
That's probably a good sign in many ways, especially for the early adopters.
As you pointed out CWC are owned by Silverman's so they'll have plenty of margin to play with and can sit on these for as long as it takes to shift them.
I used to love CWC, for me they were great value tool watches. Now the prices have shot up they just don’t appeal anymore. They’re still the same, fairly basic watches but at high prices which takes them out of the beater market. I picked up my new SBS ( biggest selling regret) a few years ago for not much more than £300. I even preferred the old website compared to their new one which has had the marketing department go to town on it! I’ve given my opinion of the Diver re-issue over in watch talk.
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

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
November 2009 the quartz diver was £250 from Silvermans

I've had a few now and the one i'v just got is nicer finished, but I think I prefer the older ones. Obviously lots cheaper and a bit rough but that was the attraction for me. Odd as generally anyone would be pleased normally, but it's lost that Gshock-like beater flavour imo.
Was that on SC? Never saw it?Recently had my Mk1 up for sale, no interest, not even silly offers.

Anyone else get the email today regarding the reissue?
Something along the lines of “just the last few serial numbers left from the first batch” Seems
like it’s been a roaring success then. Serves them right the greedy so and so’s. Messed up the design and priced most people out of a purchase.
Next batch available in March 18 at a more reasonable rrp me thinks...
Model updates and some nice pics on the site today.
