Anyone have experience of ChrisWard watches? Found something I quite like but have a nagging feeling I've heard mixed reviews.

I bought one of the Lotus 7 club editions when they came out -

No complaints, i didn't go price checking as to how good value it was.I hate metal watch straps so bought it with a leather strap which is of pretty good quality.

Yes, big fan of CW. If you find a style you like, I doubt you'll have any regrets over quality or value for money.

Found one I like, and seems good value. I'll report back if I go for it. :)

Ferg - I sent my Tag There to get the pull out screw replaced. Came back not the same watch.
The stop watch hand doesn’t line up exactly at 12 oclock. Every so slightly off (about quarter of a second - just annoying )

I've been looking for a watch for ages and got very fussy. The first one I saw that I really wanted was a Sinn pilots watch but they only do 40m which don't look right on my large wrists. Plus they are a little out my budget right now as are the full on divers watches I'd really like one day. Always admired CW watches but never quite found one that floated my boat. Just ordered a C8 Flyer Automatic.

Nice 8)

I have a C11 MSL and a C1000 Typhoon.

Did you use the current £100 off code? "MOD10" ?

If not - cancel and reorder mate!

I got it wrong - It's 10% off as opposed to £100 off.

I'd comtact Customer Service and see what they can do. They know you can use their 60day return policy if you aren't happy.

I have a Sinn, worst watch I ever bought. Flew home one time and the face exploded outward, very fragile and not very accurate. Had to get the glass, which is actually plastic, replaced before it blew up. Complete waste of money.
