FYI...

Chris has never posted on the forum and only signs on to see what is happening, look at feedback and observe. It is unlikely that he ever will post as this could put undue influence on objective opinions as well as affect the neutrality of this independent forum.

Wera only posts when she has some immediate general information to make available that can't wait. Notice that she does not make comments in general. She also does not wish to exert any influence or opinions.

Chris Ward and Wera are an item with family. They have worked very hard to start and run this company.

They do not come to this forum lightly. Wera does input here when required. This is a user forum and is free of all restrictions from the brand owners. We have a great relationship with the company and I will ensure that that stays.

If you want to wear the shirt, talk to Hans, who owns this patch.

And why on earth would you want white?

You don't want white.

I will tell you what you want?

You want this!

You want a either a 25/75 or a 50/50 Pepsi with an all lume dial. Thats what you want. :lol:

All joking aside my credit card would be getting dusted off right now for one of these.

For those of you who remember it well I think we might just have our Kraken but is Chris up for this? Who knows. :wink:

Image

P.S. Now dont try to tell me that looks like a Rolex Sub. :shock: 8)

The all lume dial looks great but....

in the interests of balance and readability, I think it needs some contrast in the hands.. :D

Oh, and I still want the all blue bezel. :D

Otherwise, great work again! Thanks

Now you point that out I agree. I was not sure on red or blue but in the end I went for blue.

I would too Andy. In an instant. In fact what worries me is I might end up wanting more than one lol. It just has to be an auto for me though. I would be gutted if this came out as quartz. Alas though I do not own Christopher Ward but if Chris does not want to go for it I suspect this will still be doable as an LE. We would just have to put it on the back burner until LE time came around again.

Im quite surprised the C2 LE is taking so long to shift as I for one had been waiting for an Auto C2 but I would suspect if this C6 mk2 concept was destined to only ever be an LE that it would sell out in hours rather than weeks. I suspect a 100 of these would fly out the door if it was unlikely to be repeated. Of course you cant please all of the people all of the time but supportive feedback has been pretty overwhelming on this one.

Its the black dial and single colour bezels for me. Don't like Pepsi's at all, doesn't matter who makes them I think they always look a bit childish too.

The Pepsi with the white dial isn't bad, but I too still think I'd go for the black, or coloured dial, and either Pepsi - ish bezel or single colour bezel :)

Think there's definately a market for this tho :D

OK I may have to concede, the black faces look better. I think I would have to go for the black face with the purple and red pepsi bezel and a rubber strap....when are they in production! :lol:
