I've been keeping my eyes on Christopher Ward for almost 20 years (when I was fresh out of uni, and in my first job at a bank, an older colleague was talking about watches and how you get a lot of bang for your buck with CW).
However between saving for a house, cars, motorbikes, and investing, I've never had the funds to take the plunge. I do own a dress watch (bought solely for my wedding), which I like, but rarely gets used, as most of my weekends and evenings I'm in shorts and t-shirts. I wear a G-Shock at school (I teach P.E), but want a nice looking watch for when I'm out and about, that'll suit both shorts and t shirt, plus smart casual clothes for restaurants and nights out.
Budget probably maxing out around the $1700 range.
So my question is which watch. I really love the trident pro in blue, and like having the option between the fabric and bader strap. However I was actually leaning towards the sealander, but I'm really not blown away by the new design, it looks far too busy, and for me at least, just a Rolex OP look a like. Not a big fan of integrated sports watches, although I do like the twelve's design.
Anybody have any other options you'd recommend? 6.75 inch wrist connected to my hands.
