The Christopher Ward C65 Dune, my Grail and first swiss watch! Bought as an early graduation gift for myself (graduating with a Master's in Chemical Engineering in June ๐Ÿ˜€) after seeing the exact model I wanted in a CW clearance sale.

Can't decide whether I prefer the metal bracelet or the black leather strap, but the shiny dial and case are just perfect and better than I expected!

Any other strap ideas are very much appreciated!!

Sweet. Love the lollipop seconds hand!

As for straps, that black one doesnโ€™t really look completely terrific, does it?

A dark red-brown, dark blue or, weirdly, the right shade of honey-brown would look good. Well, I think so.

I own this strap and it compliments pretty much every watch Iโ€™ve tried it on!

P.S. go direct online to TUNS to save money. Etsy is more expensive.

Thanks for the useful reply! Dark brown is my favourite strap colour, so thanks for the strap recommendation, I'll see if I can get my hands on one of those ๐Ÿ˜.
