Happy Friday my friends!
Crappy day outside today so no cigar but wanted to share my new addition…they say everything comes full circle…so I’m down to a 5 watch collection…3 CWC…on one end…
And on the other end of my spectrum…Speedmaster and Submariner…the original watches I saw as a kid that made me fall in love with watches…both are perfect. This new 41mm sub is just right…almost got the 43mm sea dweller but this was the right move. I still like the maxi case, too, but this just fits me ever so slightly better.
I was lucky enough to get brand new with stickers.
Mitzy approves 😂
Great call on this Submariner…although every piece you’ve ever shown has looked perfect on your wrist👏🏽
What does “CWC” stand for, as in your 3 CWC?
That is too kind!!!
Cabot watch company…very cool watches…the British special forces used them and their diver replaced the sub for those units…they are worth checking out!
From Wikipedia
Cabot Watch Company (CWC) is a producer of Swiss Made timepieces for the British military as well as consumers worldwide.[1][2]
CWC was founded by Ray Mellor, who served in the Merchant Navy during the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. Following the war, he worked in the watch industry as director of UK subsidiaries of Certina, Zenith and Hamilton. During his tenure with Hamilton, he served as the managing director of the watchmaker's UK business, responsible for Hamilton's contracts with the British Armed Forces. However they chose to close the UK operation and Mellor founded CWC in 1972 to continue supplying the British Ministry of Defence,[3] He named the business after the 15th century explorer as he worked in Bristol before the war and his son went to Bristol university where he decided to call the company Cabot Watch Company after John Cabot an intrepid explorer which he felt was fitting as he was starting a new exploration into uncharted waters.
The company is a supplier to the British military currently supplying Black Divers watches to Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Royal Navy Submarines and other special units.[4]

Congratulations on the no date Sub.
It’s a near perfect watch in my opinion.
Have a Merry Christmas!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you, I have to agree,..
I also thought about the new green bezel sub date but this one just said “buy me”! If good enough for The King of Cool then good enough for me 😂
Happy Friday.
This is an icon. Looks great on your wrist. Wear it in the best of health.
Happy Friday, Gary!
Yes…I will eat these words but it is a perfect base along with the Speedmaster…and while I love vintage and prefer it…I don’t like the worries I have had with them…I feel like they nailed the proportions on this one!
Thank you my friends…
Feeling festive finally it was a long year, and looking forward to relaxing for a week or so! Happy weekend and upcoming holidays to all of you!
Congratulations! You made a great choice with that Submariner! If I was a one-watch guy, this might be it!
Thank you! I wish that I could be…a one watch guy…
So figuring I have a great piece from 2 of my favorite brands…I think I will take a breather…keep these 2 and add on…if I had a dime for every time I said that…but, these 2 are perfect…so I want to take my time adding to this new foundation.
Nice and cozy…, great shot!
The Speedmaster and Sub are iconic, perfect for any occasion.
Happy Holidays🥂.
Beautiful holiday picture! If you think it’s cold there, it’s about 13° right now where I am.
This was the right move Greg.
The SD may have been too bulky for a comfortable every day.
Enjoy the Holidays, looks like you’re all cozy and ready for it.
