My new C65 Super Compressor inspired a photo shoot.

Post by NeverStark »

I just got this watch last week on my birthday, and I absolutely love it. It inspired my favorite watch picture to-date, and I hope I've done it justice.

Still pictures don't show how beautifully this watch plays with light, but I at least hope the picture captures a vibe. I received the C65 on a bracelet, which I really enjoy - but as sacrilege as it may be to put a leather strap on a diver, I had to try this one out. I think it's a beautiful pairing. Here are a couple others from the shoot.

Thanks all for the warm welcome! This is my first Christopher Ward purchase after probably a decade of admiring the watches online and being drawn in by the trident detail on the seconds hand. Glad I finally made the leap!

Thank you! That blue (and especially the sunray finish on the dial) deserves to be shown off properly - and I find that the warmth of the strap really sets the stage for the blue to stand out. Glad you like it!

Warm forum welcome and OUTSTANDING pictures! I support your decision to put a diver on a leather strap....think it looks quite sharp IMO

Many thanks! I definitely spent some time setting these shots up, and I'm looking forward to doing more of it, even if my collection is pretty modest. Really appreciate the encouraging words!

I’m in the Grand Junction area on the slope. Where are you?

Thanks for bringing up the bio. I just noticed mine says I have 3 CW watches. I think I’m at 6 right now. lol
