I genuinely believe that the CW line right now has quality that stands up to and surpasses the quality of many Tudor, Omega, Rolex, and Longines models. I wouldn't be surprised if in 25 years we were looking at the 2020+ CW's like we look at vintage Rolex. I think they're that good, truly.
I agree CW’s quality versus cost is for the most part as good as it gets. A lack of an ln-house movement will always be a bit of a negative to some people but I agree that they’ll only go up in value.
Brilliant review! I bought myself a black C65 Dune to celebrate my graduation this year. It's just an amazing watch, I've worn it for a month now and haven't found a single thing i dislike about it. The dive watches looks great too!
… Btw, Congratulations on your graduation!!!… I’m pretty convinced that CW makes the Best watches you can possibly get for the money!! Seems like every other watch I buy in their price range I’m always saying to myself “Damn I could have gotten another Christopher Ward for that same price” ! Let the doubters doubt but WE Know!! 😊
Probably the most low budget video as well!! Lol…. No seriously Thank you! Of the dozen watches I own all things considered it may well be my Best watch regardless of price! It certainly fits so incredibly well!
True, I think you don't really need one. I'm a collector since 2010 and, among many others, I currently own a 16610 and a 16613. One is currently for sale and I'm probably going to sell the other one too. To be fair though, I've never been a Rolex fan and prefer (love) Omega's. And these Trident's are really starting to get into my head now too. There's no bottom to this hole 😕
Yes that black hole keeps sucking us further and further down! Lol… and the truth is I’ve never held onto the 3 other Subs I’ve had so who knows?…. I really like my Doxa Sub 200 and may go for a Sub 300T next. 2k Vs 10-12k for a Sub.
@@RSSpec They get a lot if bad rep because one of the founders used to be involved in making Rolex superfakes but I honestly can't think of anyone better to make a sub-style watch. That particular model (unlike the Ocean Rover which is an actual Submariner homage) has its own design cues with a similar construction and polish you'd expect a proper Submariner to have. It's actually inspired by a submarine that's cut in half. They send you the pictures they used for reference and everything after your order 😂 I think it's a pretty small crew making them, which is why they take a while to ship.
I have been in the market for a Christopher ward. I have looked in the used market. However, I will probably purchase new. Did you purchase new? If so, how does the import tax work on a more expensive watch?
CW pre pays the duties and you pay for it on your purchase invoice. It’s was right around $100 on the watches I got, retail being between $1000-$1250. It may depend what state your in but they charged me CA state sales tax. Shipping was free on all my orders. Being prepaid you don’t need to worry about the shipping company (DHL) collecting duties. I’ve had other watches from different companies that I had to pay DHL so CW makes it’s real easy. The shipments get to you in just a few days, DHL is great! You won’t regret getting a CW!!
@@RSSpec so true. it’s definitely become known for their own style of case and even the placement of the logo and the evolution of the logo/name. I love how CW have evolved into what they are now. Such a great brand.
@@TheCcmarine also love the way they upgrade even during the course of a current model like the way they have made their bracelets better as they go by upgrading the screw method of the links. They listen to their customers as well as any watchmaker!
@@RSSpec I always appreciate a watchmaker who listens to their customers and actually fixes or changes things based on their input if possible. I really like CW as a brand and I like many of their models as well. I like the Dune watch they have and the C65 explorerish type watch. Just super cool brand!
@@TheCcmarine their small enough to be able to do things like that without a bunch of red tape as they say to stay on top of their product! Could never see something like that with a Rolex or Omega!!
It is hard to say why certain things just appeal to us individually, including watches, cars, boots, etc. I respect the fact that Christopher Ward presents itself as really an all-around excellent watch. For me, my favorite watch is actually a Ginault Ocean Rover 2, despite having several much more expensive Omega's, and a smidgen of Citizen beater watches.
Hi I'm new to your channel I own most of the big brands and even though I have some very expensive watches I sill own four Christopher ward watches and I'm not saying they are better of the the likes of Rolex omega Tudor etc but on price point and quality for the money and comfort on the wrist it's probably the best I've ever seen so when someone asks me what watch to buy to get into the watch owning market I would say Christopher ward great video thanks John.
I’d say your right on with your statement! We’re not claiming their better than the brands you mentioned but boy for the money how do you top a CW! Throw in a 5 year warranty and it makes them that much more a great value. Thanks for the great comment!
I didn’t mention the bezel’s Lume but yes your 💯 correct! I (at least with my eye sight! Lol) really can’t even decipher the 5 minute markings at night and wish it just had a lumed pip at 12 instead! The double indices at 12 and the half indice at 6 is the only way to get an orientation of the dial.
I’ve since obtained a Submariner 16610 which I love but it also has made me appreciate even more just how awesome the Trident Pro 300 is!! For 1/8 the price it’s easily as aesthetically pleasing and I’d go as far as saying it even fits better! Hard to beat for $1095!!
@@TheCompton2010 Cool, you got double of what I got in 2019!! Good for you! Timing is everything!! I don’t think I’d want to be out and about wearing a two tone anyway with it being as dangerous as it is to wear one out in the public these days!! Sad!!
Yes we can only wear so many at a time! It almost causes anxiety for me, thinking they should all be worn having spent money on them. Maybe a half dozen is a good number.
@@captkerosene Congratulations!! Very believable!! I know my S/S Trident Pro 300 fits as well as any watch I have. I actually finally got another Pre ceramic Sub and it fits quite well but I’ve gone on record saying the CW fits even better than the Rolex! . I can only imagine how this new Titanium case fits!!… What color? I’m torn between the Orange and Blue dial!
@@RSSpec I've got the blue on now with the bracelet. Beautiful. I decided I want the orange dial too so that is on order and will arrive in a few days. Going with the black/orange band for it. The Sub (Hulk) feels more substantial because of the weight and I prefer the clasp on the Rolex but sometimes I prefer not to feel an anchor on my wrist. I've got a 1675 on an Artem sailcloth strap that wears very well too.
@@captkerosene I got 4 Blue divers but lately I’ve been into Orange Doxa’s (Sub 200 & Sub 300T) so we’ll see where I’m at when and if I get a Lumiere…..I’ve never owned a newer Rolex with the glide lock bracelet but I find the older ones quite comfortable as my pre ceramic 16610 Sub weights only 135 grams which I find pretty light for a SS 300m diver with a bracelet….Enjoy your Lumiere! Beautiful watch, CW is just killing it watch after watch!
@@joelopic of course that’s subjective but absolutely no one would be crazy to think that. I have in fact since this video obtained another pre-ceramic Submariner 16610 (2008) and have another video about how much I appreciate the Christopher Ward in comparison for a fraction of the price! The Rolex certainly keeps way better time as mine is in spec at 2 seconds a day as it should for the price! But the CW in my opinion is more legible, has longer lasting lume, an adjust on the fly bracelet, and I’d even say it actually fits better! I even enjoy the bezel more! The Trident is an amazing watch for $1095!! With that said the 5 digit Sub fits incredibly well and overall has the best dimensions IMO of any dive watch ever made. The 3135 movement is an all time great as well. And of course yes it has the hype but it does have an incredible history like almost no other watch ever that established that hype. But for a tenth the price a CW Trident is perhaps the greatest value ever for a capable dive Watch!!
@RSSpec . Thanks for your reply. I've been a big fan of the Oris TT1, titans and Aquis range. Have owned a adored their style for years and still have 1 of each. Recently stepped up to the Rolex explorer 2. Seadweller & submariner. All recent post 2020 models. For some reason didn't find them attractive and legible enough for the money. Sold them all and went with the Blancpain FF. Cartier de diver . IWC Aqautimer and Aquatimer 2000. Very happy with them all although i may eventually trade my Blancpain FF for the new 42mm in time. However for the money, this trident has captured my interest and i feel compelled to have to buy one now.
@@joelopic I have yet to dig deep yet with the Oris line, I should though everyone seems to love them. I’m not much of a fan of 6 digit Rolex’s, just too big and blocky to me! I’d agree on the legibility of the older submariners, the minute hand is too thin. Ultimately, I would like a five digit Kermit (16610LV)with the green bezel and the maxi dial and hands but still with the old five digit case.
@RSSpec . Will definitely give it a go. I'm the opposite. A 42mm is the absolute minimum for me in a diver. The Oris are wonderful. They talk about integrated bracelets being the big thing with the likes of AP royal oak and co. But no one does it better and cleaner than Oris. Check them out. Obviously you would need to look at the 41.5 and the 43 will be too big and heavy for you. They have very short lug span because of their lug design however.
Not a truer statement! And we’ve all fallen in the hole to some extent….Looking at our world and especially our country today, worrying about what our next watch is going to be should be the last thing on our mind!
CW is doing great things. Even though one of their relatively recent releases tinkers on being an homage of a Rolex GMT. From my perspective - and from the perspective of seasoned, well experienced watch enthusiasts - what holds CW back is their use of basic ETA clone movements. I assume they use Sellita? Until they make a workhorse in-house movement, CW will never rise in the ranks of horology. There’s nothing in their catalog of interest to me. However, I do have respect for the brand. Their ‘light catcher’ case is unique and appealing to my eyes. CW does have a cult following. Enjoyed the vid. Thx for sharing
Thanks for your comments. You obviously make a true point on their lack of history and I’m sure they do very little if any in house procedures other than assembling all the out sourced parts they get and putting together their watches. But still no denying the quality and most importantly the value they offer the average Joe the ability to purchase and wear a very nice watch for a starting price around $900. I still stack their quality against most other watches in that $900 to about $1300 price point. And they do at this point seem to have their own identity with the “Light Catcher” case and their hand set. I really don’t see their watches as homage watches. CW is very open about some of their watches being inspired by other watches but none are direct copies. I have a Black Sealander C63 GMT which again CW is open about being inspired by the infamous Explorer II but other than it having a fixed 24 hr bezel and Orange GMT hand it really has nothing else in common with the Rolex. Personally I like the styling better. Although relatively new to this “Rabbit” (❤️ your handle!) hole, I’m probably more “Seasoned” than you know! Lol… between my age and I’ve had Rolex’s since the early 80’s!… Again love you valid comments I certainly wouldn’t argue your points made! Thanks!
@@RSSpec I enjoyed reading your mature, wise reply. Also thanks for loving my handle. I’ve had a few pet rabbits. I love rabbits. They’re smart, interesting creatures. Esoterically, rabbits symbolize time; because of this, historically, rabbits are often paired with watches - mostly pocket watches - due to this esoteric symbolism. Hence my handle and the art 😊 I could take one deeper down the rabbit hole 🕳️ 🐇 concerning the esoterica of rabbits, time, and their other spiritual significances, but that would require a lengthy conversation lol. Have a great week 🤝🏻💜
You certainly have me intrigued about the spiritual meaning of rabbits! Very interesting! I see you have done a bit on Black Bays and have wondered if those would quench my thirst for another Sub(?) A bit more affordable for sure!! … I just subscribed to your channel and read your channel description. Love what you say! Being a man of faith myself and being a Christian I have a tremendous love for Israel 🇮🇱 and her people! God Bless and glad I came to know of you!
@@RSSpec thank you. That means the world to me, because antisemitism has be hard to deal with as of recent. I do not think any watch will quench the thirst for a submariner but a submariner from Rolex. I do love my black bay 54 a lot, however, because it is very reminiscent of the submariners I love the most: mid-50s submariners. And my Pelagos 39 is a great alternative - although not a replacement - to the submariner. A lot of people compared the P39 to a 5 digit submariner; and id have to agree due to the dimensions and overall look. Except the titanium and ceramic, it looks a lot like Tudor Submariner snowflakes - a highly coveted submariner due to the military heritage. Thx for the sub; I subbed to you, too. Like your content!
@@RabbitWatchShop The worlds gone bonkers it seems! IMO if either way your looking for Him to be revealed for the first time or the second time, The Messiah is coming! Back to watches which is what our channels are about, I 💯agree with you only a Rolex Submariner itself will quench that desire I have for one! For me the problem is I’ve already had them and to me I had the one I desired so much having the 16613 with black dial! I’ve had others as well in all S/S and those got away as well. My first two I sold because of financial reasons. After all a roof over our heads is more important than any watch! But I sold my two tone 16613 for the wrong reason! To appease a relationship that didn’t work out anyway! I’m chasing my tail thinking another watch is going to replace that one! I have faith the time will come and I will acquire another! I certainly agree with you about the 5 and 4 digit ones! I have no desire for these bolder blockier ones they produce today! My last thought is how great this TH-cam platform is in the sense of Community! Outside of my part time driving job now I don’t have all that much of a social life, but to discover and meet people like yourself and others is a rewarding attribute of it all!…. Btw I took a closer look at you Rabbit with the watch artwork and it’s quite awesome!! 😃
Rolex doesn’t have a problem, we do! Lol. We’re the ones paying these crazy prices we’ve seen the past few years. These prices haven’t changed peoples desire for an authentic Rolex, it’s probably has increased that desire. If wearing a “clone” does it for you, go for it. As long as your not trying to sell it to someone as being “real”, no big deal.
I would hate myself for wearing a Rolex replica, homage, fake - call it what you will. Buy a SINN, Mühle Glashütte or any somewhat cheaper watch with a heritage. I get more attention from my Mühle SAR than my Submariner

Except the titanium and ceramic, it looks a lot like Tudor Submariner snowflakes - a highly coveted submariner due to the military heritage.
Thx for the sub; I subbed to you, too. Like your content!
@@RabbitWatchShop The worlds gone bonkers it seems! IMO if either way your looking for Him to be revealed for the first time or the second time, The Messiah is coming!
Back to watches which is what our channels are about, I 💯agree with you only a Rolex Submariner itself will quench that desire I have for one! For me the problem is I’ve already had them and to me I had the one I desired so much having the 16613 with black dial! I’ve had others as well in all S/S and those got away as well. My first two I sold because of financial reasons. After all a roof over our heads is more important than any watch! But I sold my two tone 16613 for the wrong reason! To appease a relationship that didn’t work out anyway! I’m chasing my tail thinking another watch is going to replace that one! I have faith the time will come and I will acquire another! I certainly agree with you about the 5 and 4 digit ones! I have no desire for these bolder blockier ones they produce today!
My last thought is how great this TH-cam platform is in the sense of Community! Outside of my part time driving job now I don’t have all that much of a social life, but to discover and meet people like yourself and others is a rewarding attribute of it all!…. Btw I took a closer look at you Rabbit with the watch artwork and it’s quite awesome!! 😃
Does my Dacia Sendero fill my void after owning a BMW M5?
Thanks for bringing Dacia to my attention! Lol …. I’ll keep my E39 M5 Thank you!
Hahahaha I think Rolex has a massive problem on their hands! Oh, but I just ordered a $400 Rolex Super Replica from NKUWAN. Saving around $28,000!
Rolex doesn’t have a problem, we do! Lol. We’re the ones paying these crazy prices we’ve seen the past few years. These prices haven’t changed peoples desire for an authentic Rolex, it’s probably has increased that desire. If wearing a “clone” does it for you, go for it. As long as your not trying to sell it to someone as being “real”, no big deal.
If someone asks you about your watch do you tell them it’s fake? Or do you pretend that it’s real?
I don’t understand wearing a clone. It just does not seem right to me. You are helping someone copy someone else’s work.
I wouldn’t be caught dead with a fake copy! I wouldn’t even want a homage watch with a different brand name(Steinhart, etc) on it to be honest!
I would hate myself for wearing a Rolex replica, homage, fake - call it what you will. Buy a SINN, Mühle Glashütte or any somewhat cheaper watch with a heritage. I get more attention from my Mühle SAR than my Submariner
