I posted on here about 10 mins after it was listed and it was sold within another 10 mins. I spent last night thinking why didn't I just click buy now, but now I know it has come to the forum I think...

Hi Paul,

Absolutely delighted for you and that the watch went to someone on here. I pinged the guy a £750 offer, but he never got to respond. I really cannot get my head around why he would price...

And this insider information comes from?

The case, the dial, the hands and the overall package had to be manufactured from scratch for a limited run of 600 peices, so I would suggest that you are...

That didn't last long. I offered him £750 and before he could respond someone clicked on buy it now.

Hope it was one of you guys.

Talk about throwing your money away, he could have got £1.6k to...

If anyone wants one of these for next to nothing:

You don't need that 1983 watch on the site at the moment, but later this year when the reissue edition comes out, you will need one for the collection :eagerness:

For those who grumbled about the lume being too dark, your wish for a lighter dial has been granted.

Thanks, CWC have stated that the run will be limited to 600 pieces, but unlike Omega these will be available over time rather than all 600 being issued now. There is also a strong possibility of the...

The newly released leather strap that accompanies the reissue watches arrived today.

Stunning and who said the hands don't match the plots :eagerness:

The value for money arguement is a strange one. When I think of value for money I think of someone buying a watch from Argos for £25.00. I would separate residuals from value for money as two...

Thank you. I agree with Sinnlover about the accuracy, probably a couple of seconds a day, but that seems to be the norm. I am sure that the Quartz versions are super accurate. Accuracy in any...

Excellent, looks fantastic. Did they mention the new strap to you. The stitching on it is supposed to be a perfect match for the lume on the dial.



Apologies for pinching your photos, I was...

You are very welcome.

Some pics please when you get home.

Despite all the haters on this thread, this watch just kept growing on me so I have taken the plunge and bought one. I decided to call Silvermans and had a long chat with a very friendly chap called...

Just had a look at a Hodinkee review of the Seiko that you are interested in, effectively the exact same thing, but for close to double the money.

Are you going for it.

You are a bad man Craig, but you do have a point. I was thinking about those Omega Seamaster 300 rebuilds last night, which are stunning to look at and wear, but are no more than a collection of...

There is a partial colour shot on the CWC website. I understand originals are £10k plus these days, which is peanuts really when you consider those genuine ones were the direct replacement for the...

These 'original manufacturer' reissues are causing me grief. Firstly Oris did a limited edition of their 1917 watch and priced it at £2k and now CWC have done the similar and at the same price. The...

I must be in a minority of one, but I really like this. Anyone interested needs to read the link below:

Now we have endless...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I thought five months later I would check to see if anyone took the plunge and actually bought one.

Personally, I like it, but like a lot of people gasped at...
