Mad Watch Collector Reviews The Rarest Mil Sub On The Planet Gets A Reissue - CWC 1980 RN DIVER

[@np1663]

This is the watch 007 should be wearing. Great review mate

[@TickSweep]

This is one of the most stunning watches I’ve ever seen

Philip!! Can’t disagree with you there my friend! Thanks for watching!!!

[@lawrenceh7182]

Yeah it’s a beauty. Take my money!

[@garethsigrist8714]

Gotta love a military style diver. I love the case shape on that one. I think it’s the rounded lugs that really sets it off. None more legible dial too. Awesome show as always MWC 👍

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Yes! Something very masculine in this watch!

[@zillsburyy1]

before the golden eye movie, this should have been bonds watch

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Yes Tommy!!! Agree with that!

[@MarkN67]

I noticed you had this on your wrist on Sunday night (great show by the way). I have a CWC SBS Diver (Re-Org) and love the watch, it’s such a good time keeper. This one looks great with the polished steel and the original logo. CWC are a very understated company that are making some very nice and collectable watches.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Totally agree Mark! It’s been hard to take this watch off the wrist !!!

If CWC will issue a 2-piece leather strap and spring bar option on their watches and a stainless steel bracelet option on that diver, they would sell more watches. A ghost date position is an opportunity to make a diver with a date complication.

[@SamHain-o4l]

Highly recommend looking at the MWC version of this watch, Swiss made, same specs.

Great review - a very refreshing style to your vids - like it! Nice watch no doubt, but £1999.............Jeeeeeez!

[@brandonnickerson8934]

I'm with ya. All watch prices are getting ridiculous, not just the Roleys. I'd probably save a little more and go black bay here. Love the review though.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thanks for watching my friend! Yes I think it’s just all down to taste. To buy the actual 1980 RN diver you’ll be lucky to find one first and if you do it’ll cost over the price of used new Rolex Submariner!;) Can’t go wrong with a Black Bay!!!!!!

[@lawrenceh7182]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR it’s a very different prospect to a Black Bay. You are buying a limited to 300 watch that no one else is likely to have and possibly know. For me that’s what makes these such a good proposition, not to mention they look fucking fantastic!

Well this is the ultimate watch in there fleet Michael!!!!

[@RichKovars]

For this style I like the Christopher Ward Dartmouth. Comes in both a black and a blue version. 150 M water resistant (latest version has screw down crown), COSC, same 41mm case diameter and £945 on bracelet (some of the best bracelets out there too). One of my favorite watches.

Looks like it’s based off the 1960s Omega Miltary Seamaster 165.024. There’s even some models Iv seen of it with the T as well. Very cool! Because you like military inspired divers have you consider Omegas homage to the 165? It’s the 2254 auto and the 2264 quartz.

Thank you for watching Snippy! It’s a beauty that’s for sure!! Appreciate the support!

[@rip.tear.]

Not exactly sure if its unprecedented

[@Solaar_Punk]

Hey buddy, your watch is still on the army database under that stock no! I noticed on the back of your watch, it appeared to be missing the country code from the nato stock no (NSN) which for the UK is '99'. I was unsure at first, because the first char on the back of your watch was '9'. Anyhoo, full NSN for your watch is '99 923 7697'. And as you rightly stated the first 4 digits, the Nato Supply Classification Code (NSC) is an oldy. I won't be able to tell you the current one, as that is classified but I hope this helps, and definitely proves it's pedigree. Interestingly it is still a 'current' item, not obsolete/obsolescent.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Kel!!! This amazing stuff my friend!! Thank you so much for this! I may have a chat with Silvermans about it’s history further!!;) thanks man! Tell me! What military watches do have ?;)

I'm a pencil pusher so they don't give me any snazzy watches :( And when I said 'your watch' I meant that product type, not your specific watch.

[@G58]

Had two of the SBS version in the early 2000s when they cost about a third of today’s price. Both stopped working after a few months. Returned and replaced the first one. Then when the second did the very same thing, I got a refund. Never did get to discover what the problem was. Not impressed at all, especially given that this is supposed to be an operational piece of kit. In my opinion there’s no way they are worth that much money. Do a long term revue at 12 months.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Will certainly be doin a one year ownership show I reckon my friend. That’s a lot of years ago now ay? Quarts SBS? Maybe there was an issue then?

[@G58]

THE MAD WATCH COLLECTOR Maybe. I hope you have a better experience. To put my experience in context, among my many watches I have a mid 1990s Lorus Titanium field watch with a Seiko movement (and the rare black dial) which cost me £35. It’s never let me down, never been serviced, and gains about 3 seconds per year! That type of reliability and timekeeping makes a mockery of a lot of more expensive watches.

[@paulhiggins8774]

Nice watch and British....sort of. Not sure if I like the fully polished case, unusual for the MOD to have this spec as the WWW watches of the 2nd WW had to have no reflective materials, you could always take a Brillo pad to it 😵. I wonder what other British watches you will review next
