Why Ward Hoard?
· We are specialists: We specialise in Christopher Ward watches (plus a few other select brands) - from iconic Tridents to rare Bel Cantos. Whether you're after a latest release or a discontinued classic, our selection offers something for everyone, whether it's your first mechanical watch or you are a long-term enthusiast.
· We are trusted: We are well known on the Christopher Ward Forum and all the CW Facebook groups - just ask there for references or do a quick search for previous feedback there. We are really proud of our feedback on Trustpilot (Ward Hoard) and we have 100% positive feedback on eBay too.
· We offer friendly advice: The best bit about running a shop like this is the opportunity to talk watches with like-minded folk.
· We have a wide selection of watches: We have more than one hundred past and present CWs ready in stock for immediate despatch on our commerce place, with just a small selection listed here (due to the fees charged to business sellers).
· Offers: Due to the fees charged, we can't take any offers here and due to ebay rules, we can't offer to complete the transaction outside of ebay. We also can't provide our contact details.
· We offer strap/bracelet options: We want you to get the watch on the strap that you like. We have most of the current CW strap and bracelet options available (new and preloved) as well as an extensive selection of historical straps and bracelets. Find something on our commerce place, and message us and we can adjust the price to reflect any strap change. We also have an extensive stock of spare parts for bracelets. Please ask and we will be happy to help.
· We offer part exchanges/trades: Always up for a part ex or trade (provided it's a CW). We buy watches too: we're always on the hunt for new stock, please get in touch if you're selling a CW or two. We've got a form on our commerce site to set out details.
· All watches come with a warranty: We offer a minimum six month warranty for CWs (where the CW manufacturer warranty has expired). All warranties are extendable at an additional cost.
· We quickly despatch and deliver: Generally, most items are shipped next day. For items sold direct, in the UK, we use Royal Mail Special Delivery for watches (a next day service). For the USA and the rest of the world, we use UPS which normally gets it there within a week. We've got no control over eBay's Global Shipping Programme mind - this seems to take a little longer.
· Our shipping is cheap: Other than using eBay's Global Shipping Programme (which we have to use here), shipping for watches is £12.95 in the UK, £28.95 worldwide.
· Regular newsletter: We send out a regular newsletter to our subscribers - usually monthly or so giving advance notice of new stock listings before they go live on the site. Sign up on our website (Ward Hoard).
Our watches are listed in more than one place, so very occasionally something may appear available here after being sold elsewhere before we can end the listing. It's rare, but if it happens, we always honour the first sale and refund the second with apologies.
Now on to this particular watch...
The W6 Kingfisher Splash range consisted of some seven different colours: red, blue, orange, purple, white, green and pink. They all featured eye-catching mother of pearl dials with applied, polished hands and markers. With a 42mm case, these colourful quartz watches make great summer grab and go watches.
It was launched in mid 2009 and was retired in mid 2011. Over the last few years I’ve not seen many change hands so they’re pretty rare things.
It comes with a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
It comes on its original red rubber strap that matches the colour perfectly.
If you’d prefer a new CW leather, rubber or hybrid instead, it would be an extra £20. Or a good used CW bracelet, instead, an extra £120.
It’s in great condition for its age - nothing of note to draw your attention to.
It comes as a full set with a luxury wooden box. Cardboard is showing some discolouration.
