Customer service enhancement:

The big boys offer a "restore to new condition service" including many of their old models which supports their long term brand desirability strategy. Will CW offer such a service going forwards?

+1. Good question.

On the text options, my main concern is that I don't think 3 lines of text looks that great, so would prefer any of the 2-line options. #2 is my favourite but it would be nice to have "FLE" in there somewhere if possible. On the sweep hand, any of the black and red options look good to me. On the GM...

Brilliant effort guys! You have created a fantastic reference source for Christopher Ward watches. It's clear that a tremendous amount of effort and time has gone into this - and you deserve all the thanks you're getting. Thanks to you all.

I agree any of the black/red seconds hands are fine.

Re the text, I think "Trident - GMT" and "Trident" are both too short. The standard "Automatic - GMT" balances better IMHO as it is around the same length as "Christopher" on the dial. But it's not a showstopper by any means.

With white GMT hand as suggested/requested. Very well done on this gents :clap: I'd put my name down for a 38mm version of this if we could get the numbers. https://i.ibb.co/LxnmZnr/fle-gmt.jpg Bingo! That looks ace. I'm definitely in for a 42mm version of this as I'm currently without a GMT watch.

How does the management team see the new capital injection from BGF being invested in the business in the short to medium term e.g. strengthening the CS/QC functions, accelerating development of new models, opening physical presence in other parts of the world. ^^^ +1. Great question, Patrick. What...

I've done it a few times and it's always worked out fine. Then a few cheaper (but fun) watches start to creep into the collection again and after another year or two I have to do it again! Such is the fun of collecting.

I agree, not too much more tinkering. That being said, any talk of a COSC certification, and or day window? For whatever reason, they sometimes seem to go together, and some feel the bigger window offsets the new logo at 9. Neither would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks for all the hard work with t...

Great mock-up by Scott above too.

Can I echo the comments re great work on the version above. That is a great-looking watch!

Just a quick reminder that the new Premier League football season starts on Friday evening, so if you want to participate in our fantasy football league get your entries in by then. All new entrants to our league are very welcome.

There are so many great creations in this thread that it is hard to choose a favourite. I like them all except those with lots of red on blue, which seems too clashy for me. Like TigerChris mentioned above I feel the original design #1 still has something going for it and could be developed a little...

Thread with details for the 2019/20 season can be found here.

For all those who want to participate in Fantasy Premier League Football again this coming season, I have just renewed the CWF Fantasy Football League we have had for several seasons. Anyone who was in it last year should be automatically entered into it again this year - once you register your new ...
