Yes. CW has gone from being a new brand to being well-established to remarkably innovative. While every watch company has its critics (in CW’s case, some people dislike the logo), Christopher Ward appears to be going from strength to strength. It’s innovative. And CW does several things incredibly well (exceptionally well-finished cases, supremely comfortable bracelets, etc.).
Seconded. Had my C65 Trident for a couple of years now and it's still a firm favourite for look and feel. It's also very accurate.
Go for it PushedDover, you won't be dissapointed.

Bizarrely they have emailed me to tell me 'i've left something behind in my basket'! I assumed that code would be generic as opposed to linked to an account - however if it's worked then that's great!
Eeek. Hope you like it ! bummer that they wont do the 'next day' delivery at the mo because of the 'rush for the new' watch they have.

I'm really liking the C63 Sealander Elite in full titanium at the moment and now I've just seen this:

Wow. But then I saw the case-back and that just strikes me as a bit cheesy. Maybe being a bit harsh tbf.
I really do like these C63s though. The only thing stopping me is the lack of rotating (inner) bezel. Having the triangle at 12 makes it look like it should have a function imo.
Seems a bit odd to buy that watch if you haven't been a member of the Parachute Reg. It's a nice piece mind. https://www.christopherward.com/military/c63-colch...

Agreed- that was the one that piqued my interest. and is 'perhaps the one for me. But already have a Seiko similar, and if I am not liking that one above I've bought - will try the latter.
Now O/T.
I reckon I have damaged my Brietling as hopping btween watches recently and overwound it.
I recall it being a can of worms before. but Watch Winders..... ? I need a duo. but a cheap and cheerful is fine for me. Recommendations ?
Their own blurb put me off too, I liked the look of the “tide” watch until I read their wokey schpeel about fighting to save the oceans and I particularly hate the word “hashtag”, repeating it dozens of times and embossing the symbol on the back = cheesyism.
Even worse, elsewhere they write that they’re calling a watch “The Miami,” I suppose in the hope you’ll add it to your collection of Kermits, Pandas and Pepsi. If they’re so proud of their English heritage, it should at least be “The Blackpool” or the “ The wash”.
I do like their bronze watches though and will probably buy one if I could just make up my mind which I like best.

Interesting, I got told that this wasn't possible by the AD when I bought mine. I usually give it a wind so it gets started, then give it a bit more and then put it on. Same with my other automatics.I reckon I have damaged my Brietling as hopping btween watches recently and overwound it.
