Christopher Ward C11 Makaira Pro 500 review.
I hope linking this here is okay.
I would copy and paste, but with all the formatting and color coding etc I do with the reviews, copying it here is a bear and I have to edit out all of the coding etc.
If this violates anything please delete.

Re: Christopher Ward C11 Makaira Pro 500 review.
I don't like that. I now have to think about the choice between the C11 Makaira pro and the C60 for my first CW watch...

Thanks for the comments.
A nice watch to review, and a nice watch for sure. Great crystal and dial.

Great review thanks, I've been deciding on whether to go for one of those for a couple of weeks now. Unfortunately I think you have made my mind up that this will be too big for my skinny wrists, oh well the orange bezel trident has just jumped up a place

Myself, I bought the Makaira first to put on leather/alligator and plan on the C60 this Christmas with the bracelet. So get one, then the other!Raoul_Volfoni wrote:I don't like that. I now have to think about the choice between the C11 Makaira pro and the C60 for my first CW watch...
Another great C11 review on WatchFreeks! I agree at first it was a little underwhelming. I was like...there it is. The silicone does it no favors. After wearing it several days and imagining it on alligator, I began to love it. Still don't fancy the bracelet as of yet...too much metal for me; alligator will make it look f**kin' rich! Overall, nice review. Pictures could indeed be sharper. Several grammar errors:

Re: Christopher Ward C11 Makaira Pro 500 review.
does anyone know the reason for the "0" at the 12 o'clock?
Re: Christopher Ward C11 Makaira Pro 500 review.
I wasn't that taken by the watch at first glance,
but your pictures have made me a believer.
Thanks for the review!!

Re: Christopher Ward C11 Makaira Pro 500 review.
also, can the internal bezel be used under water without effecting the integrity of the watch? I know you should never change the time or date, but is it ok to alter the timer?

To answer your questions...the 0 on the dial..still not sure why why did it , except to be different.Harry032 wrote:also, can the internal bezel be used under water without effecting the integrity of the watch? I know you should never change the time or date, but is it ok to alter the timer?
As far as the internal bezel, since it is not a screw down crown and has seals in it to protect from water I see no reason you can't use underwater. It's a dive watch so shouldn't be an issue.
