Wanted that Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro real bad. Had my eye on that dark blue dial with the red accent for ages. But man, that price tag? Needed a better deal. Started digging online, just like anyone would.
Step 1: Checking the Obvious Spots (And Getting Disappointed)
First thing? Hit up the main official website. Seemed like a good start, right? Prices are always high there, but gotta know what the baseline is. Figured maybe they run sales. Checked a few times over a couple weeks. Nada. Zip. No big discounts popping up. Big surprise.
Next stop? Big guys like Amazon and eBay. Yeah, I know the risks. Saw listings alright. But honestly? Got confused real fast. Was this just some guy selling his old watch? Or a seller pretending to be official? Prices were all over the place. Some crazy low ones screamed fake copies. Others looked okay but then the seller had zero feedback. Felt too risky. Moving on.
Step 2: Hunting in Watch Forums (The Gold Mine)
Decided to dive deeper. Went lurking on popular watch forums and Reddit groups. Places where people actually buy and sell stuff second-hand. Searched specifically for “Christopher Ward C60 best price” and “discount”. Kept my eyes peeled.

Found some super useful stuff people shared:
- Newsletters are Magic: Apparently, signing up for the official email newsletter can actually get you a decent discount code! Like real money off. Who knew signing up could save cash? People were serious about this tip.
- Used vs New War: Big arguments about buying used. Lots of folks said CW quality is solid, a used one from a reputable seller could be an absolute steal without sacrificing much. Others insisted on that new watch buzz. Gave me options.
- Clearance Section Hack: Someone mentioned the official site has a ‘Nearly New’ or ‘Clearance’ section. Huh! Didn’t see that before. Went back and scoured the site menus. Found it! Models there were way cheaper, claimed perfect condition. Felt kinda promising.
Step 3: Actually Pulling the Trigger (The Waiting Game)
Alright, info in hand. Time to decide. Was leaning heavily towards official for the warranty peace of mind. Went back to the clearance section. Found a C60 Trident Pro 300 in the exact spec I wanted! Nearly New. Price was significantly better than brand new.
Before clicking buy, did one more thing: Checked for coupon codes. Remembered the newsletter tip from the forums. Didn’t sign up for it ages ago, dummy me. Signed up right then. A few minutes later? Bam! Got a welcome email with… a small discount code! Not huge, but hey, combined with the clearance price? Even better.
Slapped that code in at checkout. Added it to the cart. Double-checked the price. Still good. Felt a bit nervous clicking ‘pay’. Used my regular credit card. Got the confirmation email instantly. Then… the hard part. Waiting for shipping!
Got the shipping notice. Tracked it like crazy. Felt like forever. Watched it bounce between hubs. Checked the tracking number way too many times a day, totally obsessed. Then it arrived! Box felt solid.
Final Result (Worth the Hunt!)
Tore open the box. Pulled out the watch. Held it up. Looked stunning, seriously better than the website pictures tricked me into expecting. Dark blue shimmering, bezel clicking perfectly, bracelet felt good weighty. Checked it over inch by inch. Not a single scratch, flaw, or mark. Absolutely perfect. Like brand dang new.
Strapped it on. Fit great. Happy? More like thrilled. Snagged it basically brand new condition without that huge sticker price hitting my wallet hard. Saved a proper chunk of cash.
The lesson learned here? Don’t pay full price if you can wait and dig. Hit the forums, sign up for newsletters, check that clearance section religiously. Forget risking eBay unless it’s a rock solid seller everyone trusts. Saves money, gets you the real deal. Worked for me!
