Funny thing is

 

I think many CW haters are offended by the price point, which is quite funny actually. CW makes a very nice watch for the price point!!

The other beef with the brand (which I think is justified) is that they have no DNA. They are great at riffing on others and do quality work but it’s hard to find any coherence in the brand.

Every watch they make seems to have a horological analog. That’s my take.

A year and a half wait and it's totally worth it. The finishing is absurd, to the point of total disbelief. This is a $15000 watch in terms of finishing. The things that bring down the price are the selitta movement and grade 2 titanium bracelet as oppose...  

A great direction

Not my entire collection is built on GPHG winners, but it currently is a dominatng theme. SLGH007 from Grand Seiko, MAD 1 from MB&f and now this. It's not that I collect them because they are GPHG winners, rather that because I'm willing to collect them, ...  

Congratulations, that’s a lovely shade of blue.

I find this watch to be unique in every way actually, and it really fits my tastes overall.

Hi! What are your thoughts on the bracelet?

I actually need to complete my order and I keep forgetting. Or is this a dumb question… because we always buy the bracelet where we need it or not

Micro adjust is great, doesn't match the quality of the watch.

It's a simple fact that grade 2 and grade 5 titanium feel and look different. The bracelet feels dull and soft in comparison to the main body. That being said, the clasp is absolutely amazing (albiet large) and it does it's job.
