Just stumbled across these watches http://www.christopherward.co.uk/ and was wondering if anyone else has one or can provide any feedback.

I quite like the look of the C70

Folk here love them, I think there are discount codes floating around and they have very good sales from time to time.

I have two CW watches, a C7 and a C4. Wife and dughter have one each as well. Lovely watches well made and a nice guy to deal with.

C8 Pilot here. Very well made for the money, fit and finish is excellent. Keeps good time and is comfortable. Because it's all dial and no bezel, though, it wears bigger than its 42mm size would suggest.

I have a C5 Pilot which is excellent for what it cost and I've bought a couple for my Mrs which she likes and has received plenty of compliments about the W7. Generally good value for money.

Got a C4 with the black face.

Generally very good value for money, excellent build quality, my personal bug is my preference is for automatic movements now, where as my C4 is quartz powered.

Still a great watch though, build quality on a par with some of the big boys.

C5 Aviator and a C6Kingfisher here - am lusting after a lot of their new releases including C70, C40 and a W7 for my better half! Enjoy being a CWL owner!

There's a noticeable lack of pictures in this thread. Here's my C8:

I absolutely love this: http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/view-auto-s/c...

Stick a Toshi on it and it would look stunning.

I've tried a couple and must say that I am impressed by the quality and feel. At that price range, however, there are other watches I'd rather purchase.

Saw this first hand at BTaP (which might have been better described as BTaW for all the wrist adornments flying around the place) and was staggered by how well made it was, particularly for the money. A lovely watch, and I'd seriously consider having one.

Recently had this delivered and am in two minds over whether to keep it. Its good looking and with the low profile, ideal for office wear under a cuff. However the thin and dainty 18mm strap bugs me, it looks like it came off a girls watch. This thing should have had 20mm lugs.






A chunky, thicky strap might help. Or I might return it and get a Thankseddie Speedbird instead.

That is identical to mine. I agree about the width of the lugs - they look too narrow compared to the width of the face. The 18mm strap would be ok if the lugs tapered into the main body of the watch less sharply than they do - more like the C8 pictured above.

Other than that, I really like it though.
