seems like there's a price drop on certain models for Christopher ward...at least for c40...but the PVD version is gone...

Hey guys appreciate some advice in helping me choose my next purchase.

Saw a CW C40 Speedhawk going for around USD500. I have always wanted an automatic chrono, and this model comes with the ETA 7750 which is a real plus point. The Speedhawk is definitely one of the most affordable models with 7750.

On the other hand, I've caught on the Flieger fever and have really grown to admire the design of B-uhrs. The Laco Flieger with Miyota movement strikes me as a perfect balance between having the classic flieger design and an attractive price to go with. This model is selling for ~200 Euro. I am not sure if the 2011 models will have one with Miyota movement and whether the price range will still be the same, so tempted to go for the plunge on this one.

Watch fund is running low and I can only get one for now. Would be great if you could provide comments on which one it should be and why. Thanks!

USD 500 sure is cheap...it is USD750 if you buy from CW directly...and currently the have glitches on their website...the prices are lower than the actual current price..

Yeah... That's what i'm thinking to. As for the 2 watches, which will be more value for money? Stowa or Tissot? Thanks.

what do you mean? can explain?

stowa can upgrade to steel. quality wise still win!

I like Flieger with a swiss/german heart.
I think Laco moving to all swiss.

CW website had some problems for 2-3 hours this afternoon...
prices displayed were those 1 year ago...so about 40-50 pounds cheaper...
but they realized it and change it back fairly quickly...can you imagine...c40 speedhawk at 420pounds with free alligator strap upgrade...compared to 468 pounds now...

stowa hands down. more pedigree..limited production.. only so many they can make a year.
tissot is just mass marketed consumer product.. similar to omega, rolex, tag.. lol.

don't get me wrong though, i own a piece of mass marketed consumer product as well.

What is the price of PRC200?

online it goes btw US$550 to US$660

Less than rm2k...

CW new collection reminds me of Omega seamaster dial.

this maybe 1 of the cheapest 2893-2 watch out there

wow...the resemblance is very similar...

this watch is over 25 years old i think..
my late grandfther give it for his service for Shell..

Do you guys know where to find pre-owned Omega Seamaster Professional Midi or other Omega series watches? Any reliable watch shop that you know of?
The bottom photo Omega is very nice.

CW C5 Malvern, C6/C60 Kingfisher, C600 Tri-Tech and C7 Rapide does look better than new model that release recently...
proud to have C5 Malvern and wish to get another C6/C60 Kingfisher or C600 Tri-Tech if I'm that rich
mayb the new model still haven't get used to it as it same goes to C6/C60 and C600 before

how long does it need to get service for C5? will it be 2years or 4years+?
any shop recommend or will it be better if send back to CW?
