The movement is again decently finished and the twin main-spring, 120 hours power reserve is what drew me to this piece in the first place. So at this price point it would seem the C.Ward has some TOUGH competition, at least in the finishing department. But I guess comparing the C.Ward to the likes of Rolex and Grand Seiko is a little unfair.but is it? A Grand Seiko SBGX009 Quartz can be had for USD2,000 brand new. Case is nicely polished, case side is brushed but again while it is finished nicely, it's not as refined as some other pieces that I have. The finishing on the hands leaves something to be desired.I'd probably expect something a little better on a watch that retails for almost USD2,000. The blue sunray dial is quite brilliant, with applied indices that are nicely polished. Examining it reveals that the watch should be running slightly fast around 3 seconds a day average which is what I'd prefer. The only other COSC certificate I have in my possession belongs to my 20 years old Oris Pointer Date Chronometer. ![]() Package includes the standard user manual and what not and of course the COSC certificate. So of course an email was sent immediately and within a day customer service's Laura Brown got back to me, apologised and within 3 days my Camel colored Shell strap arrived in it's DHL package.talk about top notch customer service!!! This is NOT what I expected from a micro brand that operates on the other side of the globe and from what I read on the Steinxxxt forum I'd be lucky to have my email replied in that time frame. ![]() So I ordered the Blue dial version with the Camel colored Shell Cordovan strap.Ī few days after that my watch arrived, box opened and surprise!! They sent the watch on a blue strap. I know C.Ward are known to have sales on every now and then but I was a little bored with the state of my collection and thought a semi-dressy piece with a blue Sunray dial will pick things up for me. ![]() It took about a week for the watch to arrive after online ordering and I paid full retail. Initial Impression? I'm happy with the watch overall.Ī slight glitch with ordering, but EXCELLENT customer service New comer from Hong Kong here and I'm a little thrilled to be joining this forum.mainly because just a couple weeks back I received my first ever Christopher Ward - a Grand Malvern 5-Day Chronometer with Power Reserve complication.
