I'd 100% put that on either a black or red stingray strap to make it really pop!
Just shows how different we all are, I detest stingray straps.

I'm not really one for aftermarket straps... we'll see, something with red stitching could be cool.

I've always thought the stock Breitling croc with white stitching looked fab on this style of watch; have it on my old spatiographe

I have churned a few watches since last being on here but my most recent purchase was for my 40th and was the zenith pilot big date flyback ceramic. My first zenith, chronograph and ceramic watch. It’s mega!

Mine is on exactly that. It's an old 38mm in rose gold, and with the other crown design, but croc works.

Not a great pic, but here you go.

mine is a 38mm too, but has enough heft overall.

It’s a great looking watch. I bought a CW Aquitaine in bronze last November . This may have made the decision a bit trickier. Go for it, bronze is a great material & I’m really liking mine. The CW seem to patina quite slowly & appear quite “blingy” when new, I’ve just given mine a clean with baking powder & lemon juice & it’s now as new, I think I preferred it in its duller state but it’ll fade over time.

I have one of the original with a scratched face. Just worn it non stop for a couple of months in Australia swimming in sea etc..., loved that it started to go green and dark, we went to a cattle station campsite, and they had dip tanks with warm mineral waters to relax in.... the water was lovely, and cleaned my watch!!!
Funny thing was that my wife had some sun cream on, and the water turned her orange.... she looked like Trump!!!
Mine was running fast, so sent it back to CW for them to sort out, lets hope they slow it down to the correct COSC tolerances.
But a fine fine watch, very different, and great price for what you get. Get your card out and treat your self.

I've got a Magrette Pacific Waterman Bronze, looks very similar (although the Margrette looks a bit more retro-inspired). I prefer it more and more now it develops some patina.

Went for it, purchased Saturday and going to give it the wife to wrap up for my birthday in a few week, told her it cost 100 quid obviously.

Our biggest fear is to find out our spouses sold our watches for the price we told them we got them.

Ordered one on Friday, this will be my second CW.

It’s bonus month for me and I just had to have it.
I simply can’t wait for it to arrive.

CW send me magazines and e-mails regularly (from my first purchase. This one got me instantly

I've just ordered a Vitreum Emarald Green. Should be with me by October/November.



I've been missing a dressier piece since selling a Seiko Presage and a Raymond Weil a while back. I wanted something with a special and colourful dial. It's a relatively new brand from Denmark who use a Sellita SW210-1, hand wound movement with hacking. I'd been looking at An Ordain but missed the boat with them as there is a 3-year waiting list now. There aren't too many companies doing reasonably priced enamel dials.

Andrew Morgan featured them on his latest YouTube video and suggested that once the brand is more widely known, demand would go up and waiting times would reach An Ordain levels. I thought I'd get in as early as possible.

I really like this, not usually a fan of retro Casio's (to wear, they're all cool) but this is lovely.
