This is the trouble I have with CWC currently.
Back in the day they offered a military tested and proven dive watch with 90% of the quality of the Rolex that preceded it for 10% of the price.
Yes they are still a lot cheaper than a Rolex or Omega and some of the changes have been brought about by supply limitations but the ever increase in price has not been matched by quality increases. They are still selling what is essentially a 1970s watch with 1970s tech and build quality.
The price of the recent chronograph reissue was laughable, I bought an original issued watch for a lot less than they are asking.
I love CWC watches, I love the design, I love the history but I will be concentrating on issued, older versions going forward. I can’t see me popping in the Silvermans for a look at various watches like I used to.
