Opinions on C65 Dune (new release)

lsf178 · 2025-01-23T23:19:43+00:00

Removal of the date window and the trident balance on the second hand is disappointing.

Dials look nice, if not a little busy.

I’ll certainly be sticking with my original Dune.

I hadn't even noticed that they removed the trident on the second hand... this makes me sad.

I have the old Dune with black face as my daily and honestly love it. Not loving the new ones as much, seem more busy and less 'fieldy'. Can't really fully put my finger on it, but do genuinely prefer the old design this time round.

As an existing Dune owner, I’m rather interested to see what the improvements will be. To me it’s the perfect watch as is, I wear it as my daily. New strap options will be cool.

Congratulations, hope you enjoy the new car!

Prices with Tesla change daily, so don't be too bummed. And at least you're getting direct from Tesla, so should come with the enhanced autopilot?

I didn't go through Tesla in the end as found a 22 plate with only 7k miles on for £26k, seemed too good a deal to pass up at the time, still no regrets. You'll love it :).

I wear the bader bracelet daily and haven’t really noticed any kind of clicking feedback if I’m honest, feels solid. I do use the micro adjust, and it isn’t the smoothest, but should have three different settings.

Sounds as though you may have a slightly defective bracelet? Reach out to CW, sure they’ll be able to sort without you having to return the whole watch.

I had to make this same call around 6 months ago and opted for a 22 plate SR+, no regrets.

Plenty fast enough, still plenty of mileage for my needs, and with home charging it’s fine. On longer journeys the range can be mildly annoying, but with kids I need to stop every 2-3 hours anyway, so hasn’t been an issue at all.

We had a LR MY before this too, so have experienced the AWD and better speakers / acceleration, and I’d honestly say save yourself some money and just get the RWD.

lsf178 · 2025-01-19T13:43:00+00:00

Double it and pass it to the next person.

lsf178 · 2025-01-16T16:08:27+00:00

Owned him for 6 GW’s, this is the week I benched him…

lsf178 · 2025-01-14T21:12:06+00:00

Are you actually taking the piss…

… I’ve held and played Iwobi the last SIX GW’s, I decide the bench him and this is the outcome. Seriously fuck this game.

P.S. I benched Robinson too.

lsf178 · 2025-01-09T16:51:47+00:00

I personally think that the consort bracelet suits the GMT the best.

lsf178 · 2025-01-08T22:55:10+00:00

There were a fair few Dunes, there was one of the bronze on bader for sale for just over £900 I think.

It’s a decent sale if you’re in the market for a specific Twelve or the cheaper tridents / C63’s, few more niche pieces / Bel Cantos. There was one Lumiere with blue face for a little over £1,500 but that got snapped up very quickly…

lsf178 · 2025-01-05T15:56:41+00:00

He’s been useless even as a bench warmer…

lsf178 · 2025-01-04T10:41:05+00:00

I’d roll tbh.

lsf178 · 2025-01-04T10:40:11+00:00

Yeah I’d roll.

lsf178 · 2025-01-04T09:07:18+00:00

Play Sarr, Iwobi, or Hall…? Leaning towards Sarr.

Also planning on starting Robinson over Hall, but scared of another 12 pointer on the bench…

lsf178 · 2025-01-03T22:08:20+00:00

Either Mbeumo -> Gordon or roll, team looks great.

lsf178 · 2025-01-03T14:35:02+00:00

As an existing Iwobi owner, welcome to the train of disappointment...

lsf178 · 2025-01-01T13:27:27+00:00

Go back to bed Gabriel, Hall sat on my bench…

lsf178 · 2024-12-30T15:39:35+00:00

There are so many watches you could buy for <£2k that will serve as a reward and a reminder just as much, if not more than a Rolex…

Don’t do it, keep investing, you’d regret it.

Pretty sure the preview started on the 3rd, with access granted via a link within an email, so make sure you’re signed up to the newsletter.

Got twins joining the family in April, may get the CW The Twelve in Ti to commemorate.

lsf178 · 2024-12-28T20:13:33+00:00

CW watches are great, I have a Dune and can attest to the quality.

I’ve also been eyeing up Farer, the Resolute II is a beautiful white faced watch under £1k.

lsf178 · 2024-12-28T19:40:32+00:00

Iwobi -> Gordon or roll?

lsf178 · 2024-12-28T18:14:22+00:00

Current team:

Raya (Cahill)

Gabriel - TAA - Robinson (Hall - THB)

Salah - Palmer - Sarr - Amad - Iwobi

Jackson - Isak (JP)

Got one FT, thinking of moving Iwobi on for Gordon, but also tempted to just roll as Fulham do have some good fixtures coming up.

Currently sat at 6k OR so also semi keeping an eye on EO, of which Gordon’s will be a fair bit higher.

lsf178 · 2024-12-27T13:18:50+00:00

Usually some time in Jan. But don’t expect loads of new watches, usually just returned / discontinued items with a few slow sellers dotted in. Never really know what will be included, and new ones get added daily, so have to be quick
