Re: Where did all the C6 Kingfishers go?

I love mine and proudly wear them daily. You’ll often see me posting them on the Facebook page.

My first love....and they say you never forget your first!

Favourite = blue, least worn (but I don’t know why) = yellow.

Re: Buying CW beaters...restoring to new?

I’ve bought lots of CW watches for basement prices and sold them on for a small profit. It’s definately a risky business though. Although you re-cased a relatively new model, there is definitely a sense of satisfaction of bringing an old tired model back to life so someone else gets years of future ...

Re: CWL of the day

Well done to the forum, I was always frustrated at the awkwardness of adding pictures here, something I commented on in the recent survey. Well, I’ve just managed it without any instructions, so well done and thanks for listening! Here’s another, apologies for posting 2 today! 722C2940-F8C1-4085-9BB...

Re: Do your kids wear a watch?

My son is 11 and wears his black c6 kingfisher to school every day. I bought it off eBay a couple of years ago but had some damage to the black bits on the bezel, so gave it to him, he loves it.

Both my daughter’s 16 & 14 wear W7 ladies Christopher Ward’s.

Starting them early!

Re: C2 watch strap

Hi James, are you sure CW don’t have any. About 6 months ago I know they got a fresh batch in - perhaps they’ve sold out. They were £55.00.

Re: Slight signs of wear....

Well done Guy, a good pick up, sometimes these non prestine watches are worth a punt - and it’s always nice to give these tired oldies a facelift at CW towers as long as they don’t bankrupt you.

I’m afraid I scour fleabay every morning looking for bargains, so happy to have helped here!

Re: Burnt Orange C6 Auto: New to me and freshly serviced

Very envious, especially as you outbid me with 10 seconds to go on this one on eBay. Enjoy Gary - my search continues and my day will come. Lovely collection.

Re: Stolen watch

Keep an eye on EBay as well. I had a C6 Orange Kingfisher ‘stolen’ by Royal Mail on its way back to Christopher Ward. It never turned up and that was about 15 months ago, but I still check for it every day! Also, if you have the serial number email CW as they can add it to their watch list (no pun i...

Re: Have an idea, looking for support.

Maybe of interest to others, but Chris has been waiting ages for a new batch of C2 Lido standard straps to come into CW towers. I know a few of you were waiting patiently so thought I'd mention it. Laura advises me they are £50 per strap. Steve PS returned a Lido IPK to CW this week from the sofa fi...
