What watch do you wear?

Quite happy with pre owned but there's nothing in budget from Omega. The cheapest men's watch is 2850.
The speed master above would have been my choice but its unavailable and has been for weeks. It must have been old stock they were selling off.
Hmmm, well that's a buzzkill, it has mineral crystal.
Something to consider then, I don't generally mark up my watches as I work at a desk, but it would annoy the hell out of me to mark it.

Pretty much a week. Both the Rado and Tag are making their way to the store and should be there by the weekend.
Although I am not very careful with watches it's the only watch I ever managed to put a scratch on.

It's an early 16610
That Tissot is nice
Agreed! one of the best chrono I've seen actually -- very understated
Whoops, I've accidentally ordered a Steinhart Ocean One Premium Blue

I guess I will have to wait a month or so before blowing some more money on watches. I was eying a moonwatch but well, it'll have to wait a bit!

Read into C. Ward watches before you take the plunge - the use of poorly regulated movements in watches that cost twice the price of a watch also using the same movement, should be a nice incentive to put your money elsewhere.
Agreed. I've had two, both I've had to send back at various points.

Yep of course.
With one, the glass exploded off the watch whilst on a flight. Luckily I managed to find all the parts and sent it back (incidentally, it was not the first time I had taken it on a flight).
With the other, water leaked behind the glass and into the face. It's a divers watch

Blimey - that's mad!
I've heard about the glass blowing off a Rolex diver before, but I think that was after recompression from a saturation dive...so rather more extreme than a flight!
The dial flooding though, now that is just poor if it was a new example. Did it have a screw-down crown with o-rings?
That's the thing, their prices reflect it but the watches are no better than Steinhart or any number of other micro brands you could name.

For this reason alone, I refuse to by a CW. They are now very overpriced, their number sales must be reflecting that.
They make some nice looking pieces but as Moeks states, they are still a micro brand, it's definitely a case of getting too big for your boots. Wind your neck in CW?
