    R.I.P. Dave Charlton

    Dave wasn't the most active on TZ-UK and had only posted once this year. https://forum.tz-uk.com/member.php?3824-dave-charlton

    Spotted this thread on MWR from last week:

    Sadly Dave passed away on Tuesday after a 18 month battle with cancer at he age of 64

    It was a true pleasure to have known him a great northern gentleman whose down to earth humble yet powerful & inspiring personality helped many including myself & will not be forgotten. Founder & chairman of The Officers Club & Petroleum Ltd the UK's largest independent menswear retailer with close to 200 stores & 2000 staff, yet as busy as you could imagine Dave always found time for his passion of military watch collecting & rarely turned down a meeting where in his true fashion there was always a case of rare military watches to view & learn from as you can glimpse from his contributions here on MWR

    There is information regarding his funeral next Friday from his daughters Poppy & Amber over on Facebook "Dad made it very clear that he wanted anyone he’d ever met, that felt they’d like to celebrate and say goodbye, to feel welcome at his service"

    Regards
    Mr.H
    I've bought the odd Seiko 7Axx from him over the years and as others have stated in that thread, found him a true gent.

    R.I.P. Dave.

    I saw that thread over on MWR
    It is sad news
    He was a fountain of knowledge regarding CWCs
    My thoughts are with his family

    What a terrible shame - only 64.

    As said previously it is always horrible when one of our band passes away.

    RIP Dave.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    RIP Dave,

    He was always my “go to” when I was after CWC info,
    I’ve just been re-reading our email exchanges over the last five years.
    A sad day indeed.

    Horrible news, and always very close to home when it’s one of our own.
