Yup, it's a Sub 'homage' (that's watchspeak for 'knockoff'). Great quality though and a COSC certified movement and sapphire crystal. I really liked the shape of the hands, and I wanted something waterproof and with a sapphire crystal because my last watch got scratched up on the crystal, and was leaking water which led to its ultimate demise (it'd fog up on every humid day), so I didn't want to take any chances on scratching it or having it leak
Great watch! I have the C60 Trident-Pro myself (pre-COSC version) and love the thing. Agree with @Dimman that it's a proper homage as well . @fender9530 Which C7 did you get? Please post pictures and impressions once you get your hands on it!

I received mine about a month ago. It's absolutely beautiful. The indices sparkle in any amount of light. The subdials and proportions look just right. The polished case makes it look very classy. The strap quality is very nice. I had an issue with the deployment clasp, so CWard mailed me a new one with no questions asked. The photos below have a Crown and Buckle black leather strap on which is awesome in its own right. Let me know what you think.

I agree but Nighthawks have really grown on me. Strongly considering one at some point now.

Agreed, especially since it doesn't do anything other than tell time.

Well unless you have a use for a slide rule

Beautiful watch, beautiful pictures! I love the new MkII C7s-- even more than the C700s. And CW customer service is beyond anything I've ever experienced . The only drawback to CW is the wait and anticipation for the watch being shipped overseas haha. Enjoy in good health!

Thanks for the kind words. The wait was killing me before I received it. If only the C7 had the auto mvmt. Then again, it would've been much more than $300.

Couple more of mine.

This is my casual/weekend watch:


I rarely wear this guy because it's always dead. Gift from my best friend for being the best man at his wedding:

^ That's real nice, I want to get a roller one of these days but I just don't love the way they look. I know they're a "classic" design but I'm just not a fan.

Well, I can't really compete with most people in here, but I got my first ever watch yesterday. I turned 23 on Saturday and decided it was time to get a watch, haha.

My girlfriend works at Fossil and managed to find me the discontinued Nate Mechanical Twist version. Apparently these are hard to find, and I absolutely love it. Not too pricey, but within my price range and for my first watch, I think it's more than awesome.
