Christopher Ward AUD deal

[Bergbergs]

Had a hard time deciding which I wanted to go with -- the C65 Vintage MkII, which checks all my boxes and fits the exact aesthetic I've been looking for for a while, or the Sandhurst Chronometer for just a bit more. I ended up biting the bullet and getting the chronometer. I'll warm up to the Arabic numerals, and what a fantastic deal on a certified chronometer.

I really dig all 3 in the military collection. The main reason I went with the Dartmouth is that I already have a number of traditionally styled (Arabic) field watches in my collection. Otherwise it would've been a much tougher decision. I had a hard enough time choosing between the blue and black Dartmouth.

Did anyone get the blue dartmouth? Can't wait to see real life pics

[peskydonut]

My tracking info now says "On Hold" (in Heathrow) and CC charge is still pending. Getting a little paranoid that it'll go back.

EDIT:

Seems like maybe it missed the boat/plane.

In case you haven't already seen it, this video review shows it pretty well. Although the bezel looks almost black in the video, in the comments it's asked about and clarified that it's slightly darker in tone than the dial but not black.

Yep, this is an impressive watch. For the price (in AUD, a steal), it's amazing.

Wow, looks so good Def the best looking cward imo. Does it having 22mm lug width and bracelet work nicely on the wrist? I’m comparing it to the oris65 40mm but that bracelet is 20mm and tapers significantly.

Congrats!

Thanks. Yes, 22mm lug width, tapering to 18. As you can see in the profile pic, the case is thin, and it's relatively light, so the watch is very stable with the bracelet. I have yet to mount it on a strap. (I'm a bracelet guy, anyway.)

Happy to hear. My order is still processing (ordered on Monday afternoon EST)

[McLovin]

Just received...the green color is done well.

[peskydonut]

It's here!

CW ended up charging $700 and Chase hit me with another $23 on of that. Whatever, the watch is beautiful.

Went from having no Dartmouths to potentially having two. Just got a shipping notice for my initial purchase attempt. Just called to cancel. What a mess.

You can always pass the deal along to someone on the forum in the missed deal second chance.
