    I have no need for it but seem to want one nonetheless.

    Removing the logo circle and date, changing from auto to manual wind to be more like the original. All good moves and a relative bargain compared to the Hamilton, not to mention far more true to the original. They even resisted faux patina! I think this is a complete win for CWC.

    5ATM too, expected 3. They even priced it well.

    Yes I will be very tempted by one of these and could be making the backing of the Timor project far less likely.

    I like it, especially with the old logo.

    I'm guessing the 1980 G10 Fatboy will be next on the list now they've done this dial.

    There, I've called it. 

    It’s nice but I will keep my original, even though the dial printing does look to be crisper than the originals.

    Nice watch. I just do not like the crown. I think it will be a hit though.

    I like it too. I also prefer it to the Hamilton. The only thing that bothers me is the T marking. I know it is true to the original but the lume on this is Super luminova.

    Like it. Like it lots. The Hamilton is too expensive so was hoping this would be the same, knowing CWC’s recent pricing. Oh dear, this is kind of affordable.

    I wonder why they went for 18.5 mm lugs.

    That is the lug size on the original
    A little too wide for the original 18mm NATO and too narrow for a later 20mm

    I’m really liking this.
    I was looking at the Hamilton but decided that it was far too expensive.
    Strange choice of lug size.
    I guess 19mm would be the size for replacement straps?

    This is such a tempting watch at a surprising price.

    I’d be just a little concerned about the lug size and potentially having to search out new straps. Suspect it would be worth the additional investment/effort though.
