You skiing underwater then?
No, but I'll be above 1000m. I thought that's what it meant.

Early Christmas present to myself. Very pleased I am too, thanks Lorne! smile
You're most welcome (particularly as you had to wait a while for it to be built) and I like your choice of the dark brown strap. I'm sure I set the sweep hand at 7 seconds though.

This Citizen BM8450-94B is getting a lot of wrist time at the moment. Easy to read, unobtrusive for either dress or casual, and the seconds hand is pretty much on index too.

Treated myself to my first decent watch. I was going to get a breitling superocean heritage 2, but then realised that it was a pretty silly idea really, there’s lots of other things to be spending my money on (want to move house mainly). Understand there is quite a difference in the two watches!

So Christopher Ward seemed like a sensible choice. Then they 15% off the other week so bought this c60 rident pro 600 with bracket and also a black leather strap.

Initially I wasn’t sure with the placement of the CW logo, but now I’ve got it I think it looks great. Really happy with it.

I love this old watch



Not bad for something made in the very late 60's
I love those old Certinas so so cool.

You did, but I had to check all the buttons worked... wink

Great choice.
Do put it on the bracelet.
Do source some slightly shorter springbars when you do...

Off to Centerparcs with the family tomorrow, GMT Master back it’s box and I’ll be wearing this old favourite next week, which was my 21st Birthday present back in 1986, it seems tiny compared with modern watches but I love its 1980’s styling.

It does say Wrist Check. Who said anything about wearing a watch?

Perhaps his wrist is far too busy doing other things

if that were true then about the last place on the Internet I'd be leafing through would be this thread...

I haven't had this out for a few years, so it's got a new strap and is having a week minimum.
