AVO - the CWs - January 2019
Not a great deal has changed since my April 2018 SOTC except for the addition of three Christopher Wards, bringing the total to eight.
The back row is the group of four quartz chronographs: C3 Mk1; C70 DBR1 Mk1; C70 BE Ascari COSC; C3 Mk3
The front row are all mechanical: C5 Malvern Mk1; C5 Malvern Slimline MMXV FLE; C60 Trident 600 GMT; C65 Vintage Diver
I say this every year, but I do think this will be a quiet year, as indeed was 2018. I can’t see very much leaving the collection and there are no concrete plans to add anything, certainly no “big” purchases, though I am potentially interested in something from the Trident III lineup.

Lovely collection there Steve and it’s good to see some colour back in the watch box, especially the green

Thanks, James. I’ve always had SOME colour in the box: Yellow Mako and various blue dials.

If I ever did, Chris, you would get first refusal. You deserve that for sheer persistence!

Re: AVO - the CWs - January 2019
What a lovely CW collection Steve. I didn't realise that you had grown the herd so much. Rather surprised to see all other chronos, but all the better for it!

Fantastic collection of CW’s and enjoyed the retro C3 which is most underrated! Appreciate the post!
Small collection of timepieces that I enjoy

Re: AVO - the CWs - January 2019
I can see how you might be surprised, Nick, because I don't wear the quartz chronos too often.
Interestingly, Lance, it was that one that got me back into the CW fold after I went all vintage and sold the larger ones.
Thanks, chaps
