Very nice, really lets you see the watch far better than photos do.

Mind you, I nearly lost the will to live after the best part of 30 seconds spent looking at a box ;)

That is, hands down, my favorite Christopher Ward watch- - really a great face. One thing you can really appreciate in the video is that it is pretty thick. Its too big for me but I really love it. And I agree that the power reserve is a cool function.

I really like the look of the C90 Becketts but it is considerably more expensive than others in the CWL range. Worth the money?

Check out the price of a JLC bracelet elsewhere on forum. I think that answers this!

Beautiful watch, it's grown on me from 0% desire, to around about 80% now. Once I get to about 90% on a watch, I have to buy it. But I must say, I like the white face more, it just looks a little more 'rare' to me.

Got a couple of questions though, that hopefully somebody here can answer:

1) Is it me (or the video clip), but is the second hand a little big jumpy/erratic? Do you think that's a characteristic of this movement?

2) Is the watch body EXACTLY the same as those used on the C9 range? The figures on the CWL website indicate that it IS the same size, but in this video it looks somewhat more chunky than photos of the C9 range that I've seen.

Thanks to anybody in advance.
