| First off I must apologize for my current state of X-Treme exuberance on this forum the past few days. My passion levels tend to run very high when anticipating new horological arrivals. Anyway, today I received in the mail the Spring/Summer 2011 Christopher Ward Magazine. It is a very well written and well illustrated forty-four page newsletter. This issue highlights two of my favorite motor races. The Monte Carlo Rally, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Also included in this issue is an article on the revival of the British watch industry, and of course particulars of the full line of Christopher Ward watches. Now if you will X-cuse me, I'll turn off the computer, pour myself a pint, and spend some time enjoying this fine magazine. More info at........ http://www.christopherward.co.uk/ | |

| X-cellent stuff Mr Rick ! Your exuberance is outstanding sir, and MORE than welcome !!! That's what forums like this are meant for. To have fun enjoying your passion, and also to share that enjoyment with others. It's great to see you having such a good time here, as well as seeing, and hearing about all of your amazing watches. By the way, have always thought Christopher Ward was VERY impressive. They seem to make such incredible looking watches that blend a classic, yet really unique style together. On top of that, the prices seem extremely reasonable too. They just seem to do things the right way, and the fact that they have their own magazine is VERY cool TOO ! The focus on racing with the company, along with the information about the British watch industry is neat to hear as well. Thanks very much for the information, as well as for your exuberance ! ____________________________________ | |

| I bought this one for my wife a few years ago. A absolutely beautiful watch in so many ways. It was fun to photograph. |

- I really like this watch with the larger triangle and dots, nice contrast between the dial and black hands. I remember Mark has something similar in the black dial that got me looking and found this that I like.
Yep - I blame Mark for this one. That CW pic of his always stuck with me. Been wanting a cream dial Fleiger for some time now. On a side note... I haven't heard a peep from CW except for a thanks for your money email. No shipping notice, tracking number, or email replies to my questions thus far. Hopeful that everything will be ok - but we'll see. Mark's CW | |

| there it is! Great dial. Pulled this off another forum, I like the new dial with the larger hands with thicker numbers and markers, but I don't like the position, size of the dots and triangle as much. I may have to pick up one | |
