I was so “pathetic” when this arrived earlier but after the term “Darth Ward” was previously mentioned when these were sold, when I opened this new addition this morning I played “Duel of the Fates”
Anyway, some accompanying photos.

Well, what I can say other than a massive thank you to Guy (Bahnstormer_vRS) for allowing me the opportunity to be the custodian of this beautiful and very unique prototype (there were only three and all sold out in the previous prototype sale, last summer) :clap:

The C1 Powerglow :thumbup:

I literally can’t stop staring at it… it’s absolutely stunning :D

^^^^ Glad to be of assistance, Gary.

Wear it with pride and in good health.


On my side a separate purchase from last week's Prototype sale for me. A unique C65 Chronograph with steel case, gloss black dial (as used on the regular C60 Trident Pro 600) and black bezel.

It came on a black tropic rubber strap, but I've stashed that away in the box.

It was my son who named it when I first tried it on. I thought the name was ace and suits the watch perfectly!!!
If only the case was slightly bigger :explode:

That looks as great as I thought it would in the real world and has joined the other prototypes at the top of my list of favourite CWs. Is the whole case as shiny as the chamfers? It's an interesting contrast to the matte bezel.

Or your wrist smaller - it looks about perfect on Chris :thumbup:

A very unusual watch! Congratulations - I would have taken that too ;-)

Even if you will probably never see it: providing the rotor with lumens is really something special !!!

Great pick Guy. That’s the one I’d have gone for if I’d noticed the post. :thumbup:

Is it too early to put my hand up for first dibs if you ever sell….. :lol: :oops:

I like it on the blue Tiber. Has me wondering how it would look on the slightly darker blue tropic strap. Your pics show it off better than the website pics did.

Enjoy the new watch!

I’m eager to see some real world pics. This was the only one that piqued my interest.

You might do better striking through that bit in the first post - many people look no further :)
