Hi all

I’m looking to get my first CWC watch. I’m considering the SBS model mk2 in either quartz or auto. Paying that amount for a quartz model though really puts me off.

My question is does anyone currently own one of these and what’s your opinion of them it terms of quality and value?

Persuade me or talk me out of it please 😀

I owned this W10 manual wind for some years but sold it a few months back on OF.

It always kept perfect time and had a great power reserve.

Experience: All outstanding. I've had multiple copies of each, but am down to just this one right now:



Every time I move one out, I regret it. They are a little pricey, but the quality is as good as it gets.

Thanks both. I’m leaning towards the auto version of the SBS, bit of a snob like that! The mellor 72 also looks outstanding. It’s a shame some of the vintage reissues are only 3 or 5 atm
