How about some Christopher Ward pics

I know there are some Christopher Ward owners around here. Let's see some pictures. This is my 1 year old Atoll SE.

Waiting for a C1 moonglow for my wife. It’s been delayed twice. Definitely excited to see one of their watches in person.

That dial is fantastic! Did you get the consort bracelet? If so, how do you like it?

I’ve been tempted to give CW a try for a long time, these pics are not helping!

Are you guys happy with yours? Fit, finish, quality etc.?

Actually got both bracelets. Here it is on the Consort. I like the bracelet but I'm anxious to try it on the Bader bracelet as it's got an micro adjustable clasp. The fit on the Consort is good however. I'm really fond of the watch. It's hard not to buy a second one perhaps with either the green of white dial. Also for a non COSC watch it's tracked +8 seconds over three days or <3spd.

I think it looks really good on that bracelet. That would be my choice, even it if meant sacrificing some adjustability and/or comfort. Butterfly clasp bracelets just look amazing.

I have a delivery scheduled for Monday from DHL

I would say they punch way above their price point. But I would also say they don't feel like an Omega or Rolex, which given the price makes sense.

Their designs are terrific. Beautiful cases. Lots of options as far as colors, size, straps, etc. They tend to use the Sellita S200 movements in just about everything. It's a good reliable movement but that's about it. Nothing exciting about it and they have been known to get the spinning rotor syndrome. I also don't find the crown action to be pleasant. A little notchy if you know what I mean.

But for watches in the $800-$1,200 range I don't think anyone does it better that CW. I've been very impressed.

Showed up from London in three days! And on a Sunday no less! Here it is, my first bronze...

Very much enjoying it and looking forward to watching the patina form. Size is perfect for me.

Very cool looking watch, how is the strap on that one? Stiff?

I don't find it stiff at all, very comfortable. This is my first CW hybrid strap and I'm impressed with it. Nicely bolstered and just feels like a quality strap.
