The highly anticipated CWC titanium diver is now open for pre order! See here:
https://www.cwcwatch.com/products/cwc-t ... i300-qs120
This checks an awful lot of boxes for a relatively reasonable price - limited run, full ti case, sapphire crystal, 300M WR, no date dial, strong military connection, and rock solid fixed lugs. Delivery expected by 3rd week in April.

Actually had one in the cart…but thought twice as I would have had to sell my X33. I could not do it haha. Maybe on the secondary market down the road. So much to like about the CWC….SO MUCH.

Re: Poor Man's FXD - Pre-Order Open
The only improvement would be a matte blasted chapter ring to match the case. Seems like they left it brushed.

It’s a great watch for sure! I got to try on one of the TGN versions and really dug it. I will be on the lookout for one on the 2nd hand market

Perfect.
Perfect seconds hand alignment.
Perfect bezel alignment.
Super light weight.
Matte grade 5 titanium
Absolutely love it on Perlon.

Re: Poor Man's FXD - Pre-Order Open
Sounds like the higher cost (compared to most quartz stuff) was in part for the added time & QC that appears to have gone into these. Seems like everyone is finding a solid bezel and perfect or near perfect alignment of everything. Well done for sure.
I’d go so far as to say it has a Sinn-like feel to it.
The lume works well.

Since it was sunny & warm - a rare combination in the PNW - I went for a nice long ride, had a great salad, and swapped to a green Eulit Perlon.

Where’s the pic of the lucky man sitting across from you? Did he toss your salad?

Love the full titanium case and no‑date dial for that clean look. Can’t wait to see pics when people get theirs in mid‑April.

Between this and 3/2022 post bump you have me worried.
Re: Poor Man's FXD - Pre-Order Open
Originally I had to order Eulit from outside the USA, but now Holben’s Fine Watch Bands stocks them in the USA. I only wear Eulit, as they are the only ones using the original material.
I have tried other brands; Crown & Buckle, CNS, Watch Gecko, and one other cheapo one from Europe - but all of them are lesser quality than Eulit. The C&B ones look nice, but don’t fit me as well.
