I was in the local dealer a couple of days ago, and they were twisting my arm on a Milgaus (resisted) then a white dial Explorer II (only just resisted. I think the price put me off a bit, but it was a beauty...).

I screwed up, the first post was my wifes' watch, this is mine , got them the same day. hers is more blingy, and they are worn all day every day hence the scratches and etc...
I need to polish it up a little...too much gardening and home project work.

If anyone is into Christopher Ward watches they have just released their latest motorsport collection called the C7 Rapide for pre-order. As they sent me a 100 quid voucher I couldn't resist going for the automatic non chrono
I've had one of their C70 chronometers for nearly 2 years now and hasn't missed a beat.

Agreed - that's a beauty (both of them, actually). But the second watch is a chronograph, not a chronometer, unless I'm getting doddery in my old age (that's probably a given )

Lovely Smiths Delux watch handed down to me from my Grandfather when he passed away. Fully engraved for 35 years of service from the East Midlands Electricity Board in 1954.
Still works fine. Apologies for the fuzzy pics!

Have they rebranded again? FFS. And that Swiss Cross/Union Jack logo is a bit amateur IMO. Overall the watch looks good though.TitanTim wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:46 am If anyone is into Christopher Ward watches they have just released their latest motorsport collection called the C7 Rapide for pre-order.

Just FYI if you ever need to get into one of your watches to change a battery there's a few easy tricks that don't involve any special tools...

Or if you get a really stubborn caseback you can always superglue a nut to the back of it, remove the caseback with your socket set, then give it a quick soak in acetone to remove the nut/glue

I absolutely love that, the construction of the case with the anodised centre section is somewhat reminiscent of the bremont MB series...
Not feeling the £700 pricetag (although its a fraction for the Bremont's price) I think I'll wait and see if this one ends up in one of CW's famous half price events

Great looking watch.
