Cisse Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Cisse, hope you don't mind me picking your brains, you seem to be the goto watch guru round here, have you ever come across any Christopher Ward watches? If so what's your opinion of them, seen a really nice one for a decent-ish price, just unsure how good it would be value wise? Anyone else with an opinion on this brand? Well ain't no guru about watches or anything else either but I do know the brand and how they operate. In my opinion Christopher Ward is good value for your money. The watches won't increase in value but as a daily beater they do the job very well. I would recommend getting one if you find one that you like.

Phoenix Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 THe C9 Harrison 5 day automatic looks an absolute beast, but it's chunky, 13.45 mm thick. http://www.christopherward.co.uk/watches/dress/c9-5day-automatic/c9-cosc-5d-scs.html The Frederique Constant slimline, by comparison is only 5 mm thick but not automatic, obviously. https://www.premiumwatches.com/frederique-constant-classics-index-slim-line-fc-220nw4s5.html?c=2347 Lovely watch. Tried one on in an excellent jewellers in Nuneaton of all places. Fantastic range of stock, and some droolingly good pre-owned.

If I'm a good boy for a year and a half and lose yet another scuffle which I will get compensated with then I could perhaps get one. Well at least pre owned.

Heart says Bremont but El Primero caliber watch would be awesome. And their price will go up more surely than Bremonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Got an excellent offer for the Zenith. Just don't have the money now. Would need to sell two watches to finance that Zenith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wahaay Cisse, just been to a watch wonderland, aka Robert Loomes of Stamford, Lincs. He claims to be the only watch maker making watches entirely manufactured in England. In Stamford in fact.http://www.robertloomes.com/No swiss movements, nor any non-English components. Actually met the guys who make them, assemble them, lacquer them, customise them, test and adjust them.All in a cellar in Stamford! Trouble is, they only make numbered batches of 100, which sell out. I'm very tempted by an exclusive 1-of-11 automatic which wasn't made for general release, crystal back so that you can see the thing working.I'm just not sure whether the exclusivity of this hand made piece is a better buy that an Omega De Ville Prestige co-axial automatic chronometer at a potentialy lower price.http://www.omegawatches.com/collection/de-ville/prestige/catalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The Robert Loomes is £2500, the Omega with a similar steel case and leather strap from £1800 (if you shop around) to £20,000 depending on the diamond encrusted gold cases. I'm talking like-for-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Apple watch anyone?. I reckon they're testing brand loyalty to the limit with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just ordered one of these DESCRIPTION It was with OMEGAâs maritime legacy in mind that the brand launched its Planet Ocean line in 2005. The stylish OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M pays homage to OMEGAâs dive watch heritage. This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black dial with a small seconds dial, a date window and a central chronograph hand. Sixty-minute and 12-hour counters are found on the same dial at the 3 oâclock position, allowing for intuitive reading of the elapsed time. The black ceramic unidirectional rotating diversâ bezel is mounted on a 45.5 mm stainless steel case on a stainless steel bracelet. The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is water resistant to 600 metres / 2000 feet / 60 bar, and has a helium-escape valve. This certified chronometer timepiece is powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300 which can be seen through the transparent caseback.
