Re: C70 Chronograph
They are looking better than promised. the blue on white looks pretty good, can't see me buying one though. One things for sure, you won;'t see anything else around much like these and that's quite an achievement in my book. I bet they sell like hot cakes.

Re: C70 Chronograph
I don't want to come across too negative, but one of my pet hates is chrono's with bits of numbers.
Surely when you're designing the face of a chrono, you can design the size of the 12, 3, 6 & 9 or leave them out altogether so that the sub dials don't interfere with them?

Re: C70 Chronograph
Interestingly to me, is that this design along with the two sector designs look like Chris Ward got together with the designers at Ben Sherman to create some watches.
I definitely appreciate them, although I don't know if I'd be able to pull of wearing them.

Re: C70 Chronograph
I'd put money on it that Chris's inspirations for this watch were BRM and Chopard's Mille Miglia range, specifically their collectors editions which had different coloured faces for each country. To me he has put the best bits of both together to make a real winner. All he needs to do now is to make a tool box style leather collectors case to hold the whole collection in, which is what Chopard did with their set!

Re: C70 Chronograph
I think it would be difficult for me to buy just one of these watches, but at CW prices I could have the complete collection in the unique collectors case for the same price as a Tag Carrera.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Re: C70 Chronograph
That's pretty much why I've got 5 (shortly to be 6) CW watches, and no TAG's, altho I always fancied a TAG Carrera!!alphajet wrote:I think it would be difficult for me to buy just one of these watches, but at CW prices I could have the complete collection in the unique collectors case for the same price as a Tag Carrera.

Re: C70 Chronograph
I must say I am not impressed by most of the new sneak preview watches especially the sector ones which have been done before
one example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supermarine-RAF-S ... 7C294%3A50
However, I absoloutely love this watch especially the UK and USA colours! I love the strap and the whole motor racing feel. I reckon this is much better than the speedbird/hawk whatever its final name is, which is a little japanese watch stylee!
Only shame this is a quartz, would much prefer an automatic right now
