Christopher Ward Forum

It's a good opening question. I've always wondered why Roamer classified this 1960s (presumably) model a 'sport' watch. What is sporty about it?!

I really enjoyed reading your review of the watch, the history behind it and your family connection.

I wonder what the Ward brothers interest is as they've clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it. Do they have some link historically perhaps?

Thanks Gary, much appreciated mate. Again if I was really put up against the wall to pick just one then I'd also have to say the C65 SH21 LE. Just a superb watch.

It worked surprisingly well for 2 of mine insofar as it showed fast/slow correctly...

... and did show what I already knew that my C65 SH21 LE runs 9 secs fast!!

I've read that screw down crowns are more likely to transfer vibrations on to the movement and therefore push-pull crowns are better in some watches. I think it was in relation to testing done by Bremont on their Martin Baker range of watches. I prefer a screw down crown but it's not necessarily wit...

^^^ Thank you. I learnt alot from the tutorial and now know that even my basic entry level Huawei phone has manual focal and light meter functions on the camera! That literally was something I found out from experimenting having read the link! Once I've played about a bit more I'll pop another pic o...

Thanks... yes, it's much better!

I liked this... here's a quick effort but will attempt some more..
