Cwc g10
I've just bought a CWC G10 off ebay based on a few videos I've seen on Youtube. For anyone not sure what this is, its a British watch with a Swiss Quartz movement and they were issues to the British military from around 1980. Does anyone on this forum have one and any hints or tips or further information on this watch? I hope to receive the watch today. It is a 1985 model "Medium Fat Boy". It's my first quartz watch since I was a teenanger. I'll post some photos once received.

They’re great watches!
I’ve owned one since the late 80’s! Very durable, don’t pick up marks (due to the matte finished case) and very legible! They’re a better watch than the one that succeeded it, due to the battery hatch enabling you to change the battery without opening up the watch! A great everyday watch! |
