2017 CWC SBS

[JohnnyE]

I read that some some owners felt the fit and feel weren't quite as good as the CWC. Looks wise there's little in it. Just a shame I can't 'try before I buy'. Lol

Perhaps I can help. I'm on the opposite side of your coin. I bought one of the pvd zenos as I've wanted a cwc sbs but couldn't stomach the price!

The zeno, as said above, looks the part. The pvd finish is flawless. It wears well. However, the 60 click bezel isn't the most accurate. Sloppy. You can get it right on 12...but it'll creep off centre. Also, the second hand is off on mine, by around 1/5s of each mark and up to 1/2 a second off in places.

For £200, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.... But I am wondering if a cwc has a flawless bezel and more accurately positioned second hand. Can I justify the extra? Probably not. The zeno wears REALLY nicely and really, do i NEED the seconds hand on the lines? No.

(ps: I'd probably still buy a used CWC SBS if it was the right price... which is doubtful with how the prices have risen this past while)

That's muddied the waters a bit but thanks for replying. I'm keeping an eye out for a used CWC Quartz (ideally mk2) to see what they go for. I think the rrp is rather steep.
