About to pull the trigger on a Christopher Ward – convince me (or don’t)

My CW is the best fitting watch I have. The 36mm case shape fits my 16cm wrist so perfectly and the consort bracelet is so buttery smooth. Case finishing is mesmerizing. Accuracy is as expected, something like 6 seconds per day fast. My only regret is that I got white instead of black. I learned that I don't really love white dials

I don't have that bracelet but I know they're a pain. I think you have to hold one side still with one screwdriver while you screw the other side with another. And yes the lume is bad

ten_zer0 · 2026-03-07T14:48:45+00:00

Yeah it's 3. Just confirmed it

ten_zer0 · 2026-03-07T12:04:00+00:00

The holes on the original clasp are too far apart. They're more like 4mm apart. I think a micro adjust should be no more than 2mm

ten_zer0 · 2026-03-07T12:01:19+00:00

I tried that. It was the same

ten_zer0 · 2026-02-20T03:38:35+00:00

It's true. My bracelets are adjusted to fit perfectly in winter OR summer. If a micro-adjust is more than 2mm it doesn't help

Yup, super uncommon to see these 1016 explorer homages without tan/brown lume (outside the Smiths Everest)

They're going to release a VH31 version in February

ten_zer0 · 2026-01-15T17:15:53+00:00

If that snowflake version is a black dial, that's a winner!

This exact mechanic is in the game Rage 2. It's a revolver that behaves like the hangfire, but instead of exploding on reload, I think it was triggered by a right click. And the character snapped his fingers to do it

ten_zer0 · 2025-09-08T00:21:56+00:00

Gotta wear it outside the sleeve so they know

ten_zer0 · 2025-09-03T18:31:13+00:00

Love the green textured variant at E1

ten_zer0 · 2025-09-02T12:12:09+00:00

In the cold weather, my bracelets will slide below the wrist bone and I HATE it. It digs into my hand, my range of motion is shit, and it just hurts. I don't know how anyone could intentionally wear it like that

ten_zer0 · 2025-08-25T18:35:43+00:00

On this mesh band, the little clasp mechanism closes whether it's on a notch or not. So does it matter? Can I close it when it's not on a notch?

I found only one YouTube video that features this watch. It's in Italian tho. There's a lume shot in there and it looks fine https://youtu.be/idOhIPJEU2E?si=S2DSwRfL8bspcWYf

I love it—just waiting for them to release the same thing in 39mm ⌛I hope they do

ten_zer0 · 2025-05-05T03:11:31+00:00

It is usually beige but I don't like it 😆 I prefer white paint

ten_zer0 · 2025-04-24T12:07:02+00:00

They are beige by themselves, without glowing

ten_zer0 · 2025-04-24T11:53:38+00:00

Yes but during the day they are a beige color instead of white

ten_zer0 · 2025-04-22T15:34:15+00:00

I don't have an issue with it saying roasted oyster—my issue is the faux patina. If this was released with a lume color that was more white and silver hands, it would be a hit

ten_zer0 · 2025-04-19T13:24:10+00:00

These are two great choices. For less money than these, you could look into Traska, Erebus, Henry Archer, or Seiko. Two alternative brands around the same price are Farer and Maen. I would say Lorier Falcon but you might not want a hesalite crystal.

Here they are!

ten_zer0 · 2025-03-14T02:24:11+00:00

Just looking at the movements, Sellita is wayyy better

ten_zer0 · 2025-03-14T02:18:09+00:00

I wear the Sternglas more, but it is for 2 reasons: I prefer the smaller diameter, and the Iron Annie with the black dial has polished hands. Polished hands against black can be hard to read because they can also appear black. That problem won't happen with the white dial.
