Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
I like the idea but hate the logo and 9 o’clock Christopher Ward in whatever font that is.
I also don’t like the contrast between the faux lume and the white CW at 9.

Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver

Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
Great looking watch if he took his name off the dial and used standard lume colour. It's a shame when something good is ruined by just a few little things. I've never liked any watches that have someone's name on the dial. Having said that, being English, I don't see Sinn as a name, I see it as a brand, luckily 

Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
I’m gonna guess... Christopher Ward.
Have to echo everyone else’s sentiments, beautiful Watch totally ruined with the name. I remember all the fuss about the old logo and there were rumbles of it being changed, Folk getting excited only to be met with an even worse branding!
I’d have been all over that if it had a clever, CW logo, arrrggghhh WHY!!
Only other negative is the seconds hand which looks like something from eBay for a Seiko mod!
I’ve always thought there’s scope with the name (or initials) to do a clever balanced logo. CWD ‘Christopher Ward Designs’
Someone must be able to design something smooth looking around that? Just a look at what I’ve done below shows someone with some skill on a design prog could get a smart looking logo, get the font right etc

some real life pics now that it's shipping.

There's a lot to like. Not that hand tat though.
Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
It is a decent looker. Very close to ideal.

There’s a lot to like. They got a lot of the little subtle things right.

Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
Yeah, that's good. Not even hating the logo as much as I might expect
Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
Much better in person for sure.

Re: Christopher Ward C65 Vintage Diver
don't mind the logo as much as I thought I would in the real pictures, but still not a fan of the white
