Sup fellow MWC…. just got my sub back from the jeweler. Had the band high polished and I am in LOVE!!! I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I feel this personal touch makes the watch my own. So glad i decided to do this… cant describe how happy I am! sorry for the crappy phone pics

you can also add a rubber strap, that would make it more unique. and rubber is definitely very well suited to the sub.

I had an elderly gentlemen as a patient the other night and noticed he was wearing a speedmaster on his wrist. A vintage one, and the first I've seen elsewhere IRL. I complimented him on it and said I had the same watch. He said "No, no you don't. Mine is special. It was gifted to me by Neil Armstrong." We sat there and talked about how he got it for a few minutes after. Color me impressed. Was a pretty cool experience.

One of my patients a few weeks ago had a gold Datejust on his wrist. I was mirin' hard.
He said he got it as a retirement gift.

Blade slipped while trying to change the battery on one of those damn swiss army w the canvas strap (which are notorious for being a pain in the arse). Sliced the fuk out of the top of the middle finger, across the knuckle about an inch or so. Would not stop bleeding and had to get stitches lol. Feels bad man.

Hello all,
I am sure most of you have heard of the Seiko Turtle. Here is one going on ebay for $223:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SRP779K1-SEI...0AAOSwPc9W1V4v
Other dealers are selling them for $350+. I purchased one, even though I think seiko sucks. I've asked the seller to please inspect my watch for defects (date alignment, bezel dents, bezel alignment) prior to shipping. I'll update you guys as to what happens, and possibly post a review for you guys.

I had this, was an absolute beauty, always got compliments on it. Wish I never sold it.
Where does one buy the shark mesh band?

Anyone else loling hard at how badly Christopher Ward fukked up?
This is the new logo. It will stay in the 9 o' clock position for the unforeseeable future. They will not replace their current line of watches, but instead will phase the current line up out with new models over time, bearing this logo. This brand now looks like it makes department store watches, similar to MK and Armani Exchange.

How hard is it to create a decent CW logo. Everything looks pretty good about that watch except for the tripe logo / logo positioning

Looks like absolute garbage.
Love the C60 I have but this is a strong level of potato. Not sure i'll buy a single watch from them with that logo.

The placement of the logo is fine. But their actual logo - the spelling of the Christopher Ward - looks like lazy ****. Cheap font, which does the placement no favours.
