Christopher Ward C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
Well, it's no secret that I have a huge soft spot for Christopher Ward Watches and if my humble opinion matters at all, these are my top tip for future investments due to their supreme build quality and always being extremely attractive.
Up for grabs here, is one from my collection, these c65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC's were limited to a run of 500 of which this is number 303.
The Watch has been worn maybe 2-3 times very carefully and comes with its complete full set of Boxes and Paperwork.
I don't expect this one to stick around for long as they very rarely come up for grabs.
