CWC watches

[CLEM]

I fancy a new Schraftin watch, anyone got much or any experience with any of CWC’s offerings. I like the look of the Sapphire G10.

 

[JonathanD]

Yeah get one. That’s that sorted then.

I had a CWC G10 older version. It was a beauty watch. Wasn't waterproof though.... I learnt that the hard way! I recently came across an issue (2001) Pulsar G10 in an antique stall at the market. £20 got me it without a strap. Its in full working order, waterproof to 50m. Yet to get a strap but it's just as good as the £100+ (can't recall exact price) CWC in my opinion......

I have a 1989 one. Used to be a cheap basic but decent watch, the prices seem to have soared in the last few years.

CWC British Military G10

The CWC G10 is the original British military quartz watch, issued since 1980. Built for durability, accuracy, and everyday operational use.

Simple, rugged, practical and small enough as to be unobtrusive. Looks about ideal as a Schraftin/field watch.

That’s pretty much why field watches have remained unchanged since the specifications were first laid down during WW2. We got it right first time.

You‘re gonna have to wait for that two minute Sunday ordering window to open once a month. You probably remember when we’ve been out and I’ve had to stop at 14:00hrs and manically order mid bimble as the window becomes open for a brief period

I think the CWC is still favourite currently but that could change

 

[CLEM]

But then when I have a look at the spec etc of that there Pecista :-D

Is that just a problem when they release a new model? The PRS10 has been out some time and the initial rush must have subsided by now. I dont remember a problem and I was one of the early buyers.

They only open up ordering on Sundays around 2pm. Have done for around a year or so now, and that’s just once a month. Orders happen so fast that they take over 200 within a few minutes, so you have to be quick to reach checkout and pay. No dithering. Even then, if too many orders come in for a model that they haven’t got enough stock for, your order gets cancelled a week or so later. Mostly the Smiths models get the most orders.

 

[pieinthesky]

They must be doing OK then

 

[JonathanD]

By the amount of orders not 120 seconds… very.

I've got a CWC G10 needs a new glass and that's been a bit of a nightmare, I took it in to a jeweller and they made a hash of it so I need to find some other place to do it.

Good watch though, I bought it for my wife about 10 years ago.

 

[JonathanD]

Only problem for Dave might be the size. 36mm might be a bit small on his Popeye arms.

 

[CLEM]

The more I look at that Precista the more I’am liking it. Wonder when there going to be available?

 

[JonathanD]

They open up ordering every three weeks at 1400hrs on a Sunday. Sign up to their newsletter and they’ll tell you. Last window was the Sunday just gone. They have those watches in stock still.

I’ll do that, I signed up to CWC too waiting to hear when the G10 Sapphire is going to be in stock, never had a newsletter, sent message never had a reply either. Pretty crap way to treat potential customers.
