Re: 38mm Yema Pearl Diver Looks Interesting...

Yes. I've had my eye on this for a while now. Has anybody ordered from Gnomon before? I'd like to know if they've been charged customs/import duty. Yema seem to think that it's payable if coming direct from them in France. Maybe not Singapore. You should expect to pay 20% VAT coming from Singapore,...

Re: Just ordered a C60 trident

They are very robust watches. So unless you're using a chainsaw or similar, I wouldn't worry. Alternatively you could just wear it in the evening and weekends! The power reserve will keep it going!

Re: Just ordered a C60 trident

Just ordered a C60 pro 600 42mm. This will be my 4th Christopher Ward watch, although i have moved the previous three on, and ive not had an auto watch for around 4 years. Im a landscape gardener by trade, so watch wont be worn during the day. Would i be better buying a watch winder or just give th...

Re: I have incoming!

That'a a gorgeous watch, I'm not sure you'll be able to better the photos from the sales corner. You must be rightly chuffed. I would have loved that myself, but 36mm is too small for my current tastes. Hope you get years of satisfaction from it. Just in case you didn't know, there are 40mm version...

Re: I have incoming!

^^^ Beautiful :thumbup: I'm interested in the vegan 'leather' - how do you find it? It looks robust, and 'real' This is where I got it a couple of years ago. Not sure if the one I have is still made though: https://www.watch-band-center.com/watchstrap-s3348h3343-VEGAN-Watch-Straps-1.html Also I not...

Re: I have incoming!

The photos are stunning. What did you use to take them? Google Pixel 5. I've had some very good phone cameras, but this one beats the lot hands down. I've got an old Canon DSLR in the house, but it doesn't even come out of the bag anymore. Impressive. Here's my silver one on vegan 'leather' strap. ...

Re: I have incoming!

I feel like you lot are conspiring against me. I'm certain this threads purpose is to induce a serious case of sellers remorse :lol: I admit, I did go through the photos more than a couple of times before posting the watch in SC wondering if I was about to make a mistake. I think being stuck indoor...

Re: I have incoming!

Wow just taken a look. What a bargain! I've got an all silver one. Why Oris stopped manufacturing these unique, intricate and beautiful watches is beyond me.Where are the raised indices and the guilloche dial on the new versions? The printed flat dial makes them cheaper looking and pretty insipid in...

Re: I have incoming!

Any chance we could dispense with the crypticness on this so others might benefit from this apparent bargain? :) Gannet's right - I bought Ryan (StrappedUp)'s Oris Big Crown Pointer Date from Sales Corner, so it's a one-time deal :thumbup: Yes, it sounded like one of those but it's nice to know for...

Good news for my 6.5 inch wrist.
Yes but not good for future purchases when they do away with the size altogether.
Even with a 6.5” wrist I can easily carry off a 41mm watch as long as the lug distance is not greater than 47mm.

So, still plenty to chose from
Says you :D

Re: CW January ‘21 Sale

I do think the recent sale was pretty exceptional in terms of number and diversity of stock, as well as being CW's biggest to date. https://www.christopherwardforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55763 No matter, the summer sale will be worth a close look :D I imagine the summer sale will be a clearou...

Are you kidding? The size of these boxes is ridiculous. They could produce a decent size bamboo box a third of the size if they chose to.

Re: CW January ‘21 Sale

Is the summer sale just as good as the Jan sale for breadth of watches on sale, and depth of discounts? Usually Pretty similar from my experience 👍 I do think the recent sale was pretty exceptional in terms of number and diversity of stock, as well as being CW's biggest to date. https://www.christo...

Re: I have incoming!

Fantastic pick up Lindsey. They are just gorgeous looking watches and that is a steal of a price . I keep feeling I should have bought that myself. That version with the rose gold bezel is a stunner as well. Enjoy it (I know you will :thumbup: ) Any chance we could dispense with the crypticness on ...
