I bought the CWC GS Sapphire to replace a much loved Seiko MOD watch which finally gave up after 25+ years. I like the GS because it has a similar no-nonsense utilitarian look and appears very well made. Quite a small(ish) watch by some modern standards, the GS Sapphire fits nicely with casual clothes but looks fine with formal clothes too. The improvements to expected battery life and water resistance are very welcome too. First class service by Silvermans, who despatched the watch by secure carrier and which arrived the next day, with the correct time & date set. (Nice touch - Thanks!) So I'm very pleased with the watch and expect it to serve me very well for many years.
