What time is it? Watches and horology

cheap plastic

bioceramic

lol didn't you just get this :D

If I had the spare cash it would be fun to get in before @Dammit . Didn’t he call dibs ^?

Ditto.

It’s fun, like that’s the point.

I mean it could become THE forum watch if everyone lobs in £100

I hadn't expected the call so quickly, and am shamefully unprepared financially.

He’s not in the position to buy. I didn’t include it in the list above as we were chatting, dibs were respected 😊

@Heldring correct, but (my luck) another one just as nice came up and thought I’d make it available, as I was after one for a good few months and literally haven’t seen one below £7.5k in the U.K.

I’m much better than your average AD, no bs 😂

Not much! It's a cheap watch. If £200 is not someones idea of cheap then they should avoid this and buy a nice metal seiko/casio/timex etc.

It doesn't summon the vibe of a moon watch in any way for me, the plastic seems to have less quality than a normal swatch. Dial alignment is all wrong too. In short it's a laughable replica but it's fun.

I don't get much emotion from looking at it! maybe that seems trite but I love some of my cheap watches almost as much as the expensive ones. Maybe if we have a few adventures I'll love it more.

In terms of colour ways I could choose between Mars, Uranus and Pluto. None of those would have been my first choice but it's a decent option for summer and probably the easiest to resell if I don't get on with it.

Not sure these should even be £200 but I we were all laughing in the queue about how we are like little boys queuing up for a watch :)

Just to add, it's a decent watch as part of a summer outfit, works better from a distance. Also unlikely to get hit over the head for it in a London park which is what happened to somebody in London last week. Thoughts go out to them for a recovery, they had to have brain surgery and were on life support. I get all Charles Bronson about that kind of thing, really upsetting.

Surely any functioning adult would've gotten the Moonswatch Mission to Uranus

I turned down a Mission to Uranus, looked like it was popular though, no hard feelings xx

teehee

Im in a position for a new CW. Want something on mental and a dive look. Can't devide between these two. But leaning to Aquitaine as a bit unusual.

Anyone want to help me decide?

The GMT hand might be a nice reminder of home&fam when you're doing a race in some faraway place.

🤔

Yes, though having the colchester I wear that racing as it's so light and retractable crown is great cycling.

I think the C60 is a bit Regional Sales Manager Tag for me.

The c65 is much nicer.

Yes, it's no omega!

I’m a big fan of the CW Super compressor but couldn’t tell you exactly why.

Agreed. Most of the C60s are a bit dull. I like the sapphire one though

Also, if you weren't aware the Christopher Ward forum has a really good section with user submitted pictures of all the watches. Gives a good idea of what they look like in reality

Get both? Cav doesn't get just one Richard Mille....

Yup, like this.

Not a fan of the C63? 39mm such a good size.

Easily, easily the green.
