My first CW purchase: C70 DBR1

Post by Ginger Jay »

Really excited so just wanted to post that I put in a preorder for the C70 DBR1. The watch design may not be for everyone but I feel it is truly unique and beautiful. Plus I have a thing for Astons as well.

This will also be my first Quartz watch. Figured I need something to help time the others off of.

Anyways just wanted to say thanks to the CW forum. There are some great pictures of the C70 in the gallery and that's what helped the decision. :clap:

Yep you will love it, I am a big fan of the C70 range, it was a bold original design from Christopher Ward.

Classy choice - just be careful with the bezel as it can mark easily with light knocks, but a very pretty watch and as aston as newport pagnell

These watches are definitely growers, first sight of the generic design I didn't like them, but must admit to a number of them now appealing and most certainly the DBR1.
