    Re: Looking for a G10

    I have bought from Anchor and always found them OK. I often buy them for ex military colleagues as Christmas gifts.

    I think it looks first rate with the watchobsession Ballistic Nylon it really suits the watch. I think the white stitching overpowers the watch itself.

    Re: New chrono - Seiko Gen 1

    I have always liked the Seiko Chrono and they are getting costly now if they are in good condition and are becoming hard to find. A friend got one from Chronomaster but looking at his site today they...

    Re: 1979 CWC W10 6BB

    It is interesting what you said "I'm a newbie when it comes to watches, in fact I'd never even worn a watch until 6 odd weeks ago. Once bitten though, I needed to expand!" I was talking to a jeweller...

    Re: mwc )cwc)prs 10 (again)

    I am not sure how it can be said that MWC copy CWC because CWC do not make GTLS / Tritium watches nor screw case and screw crown G10 models or auto G10 models nor recreations of old designs such as...

    Re: Ollech & Wajs divers

    I have a O&W Cougar diver a few years back and found it to be a good sound watch which ran well for the two or three years I had it. I have quite a few watches so it was not used daily but it was...

    Re: mwc )cwc)prs 10 (again)

    I have seen this image on the web before and it is from a basic G10A which is under £30 on eBay so a basically cheap watch I am sure a similar movement must be used in the quartz Vietnam which is...

    Re: mwc )cwc)prs 10 (again)

    I tend to favour GTLS when it comes to divers watches and this limits me to the Marathon or the MWC both of which are fitted with Tritium vials. I had a Traser P6506 which was a great watch but just...

    Re: Introducing my CWC Navigator trio!

    These all look very nice examples I have a couple of CWC G10s and I tend to prefer the battery hatch models. I have to say the leather straps on this look quite nice.

    I have found them very high and mighty and unpleasant to deal with so I would be loathed to buy another CWC. Frankly the support is poor and they act like they are doing you a favour. Not sure why...
