A revival of the Watch thread
That GS Kodo is just awesome.

Added this Planet Ocean to my collection. It was originally purchased in Nov 2021 and traded back in to the same dealer on something else. I've used this dealer for some Oris watches. I saw it become available and traded in one gently worn Oris Pro Pilot Racing edition and added some cash to get this deal. I get the remaining warranty on a watch that's in great condition for a price that I was happy about.

Love the way the blue looks in the light. The liquid metal has a great luster to it.

That is a good looking Omega.

Love the PO bracelet and the way the lugs taper to the bracelet. And the thin Helvetica font on the bezel.

The blue Omega above may be partially to blame for this. My AD contact is moving on after a lot of years and I wanted to throw one more sale/commission his way as a parting gesture.

Nice. Is that on a nato or a Marine Nationale? I've been wearing my 44mm Deep Blue in a MN stretchy strap and it is SOOOO comfortable.

Nice score rOgue! I came soooooo close to pulling the trigger on one of those. That’s a super comfy watch on the wrist. Smile

It's a NATO. Very thin though. Super comfortable and with a nice unique buckle. I've had a few Erika's MNs. I like them in many ways, but I find them hard to get buckled

Yes. A bit more subtle than this picture shows in real life. The exposure is a bit over blown here.

I’m so glad one of my favorites came back home and is sporting a brand new case just in time for warm weather. Christopher Ward is hands down one of THE best watch companies in existence right now. They took care of me. Companies that treat me right are always rewarded for their exquisite customer care. The regulation was worth it! This watch, which was 3-4 seconds slow a day is now keeping fantastic time. Cool

I bought something very special from Christopher Ward because of my excellent experience and proper treatment with this C60 Chronograph. I was thinking about an Omega Chronograph but decided to go a more unique direction.

One of the things Christopher Ward nailed besides the dial, case & aesthetic design is their bracelet. The micro adjust built into the clasp isn’t as elegant as Omega’s but it works just as well at a fraction of the cost.

This brand rivals Steinhart in quality & the bang for your buck factor. I have not interacted with Steinhart’s customer service but I can say that CW’s customer care is superb. Their warranty is also very good.

Stick,

Are those the same CW's in your pic above?

The top pic looks like a black outer dial and face whereas the bottom pic looks like a blue dial and dark blue outer ring.

Regardless it/they are stunning.

I think it’s the same watch, just from one angle, the AR coating on the crystal is tinting the dial.
