I just got my Sealander C63 GMT with the white dial and I was honestly blown away when I first put it on. it far surpassed my expectations based on what I saw online. CW really needs to get their watches in more boutiques for people to see them in person
@@conradcoolerfiend I think the point is that they'd be adding a middle-man and increasing the cost; which would make it a less compelling value compared to competitors
World premiere exclusive! And look at the Bel Canto cheekily placed in the watch roll at the end, as if we wouldn't notice: that's top-shelf foreshadowing right there. I would love to see the Ti model in the 36mm sizing, especially at the slightly slimmer casing.
@@noneofus007The blue dial was a limited edition of 300 units, which sold out in a few hours 😮I was very fortunate to get one (#66) in late November, and absolutely love it. There was a green LE a day later, which also sold out super quick. The new colours (four) are an open release and not limited… just have a long wait time from order to receiving it… good luck, it’s worth the wait 👍
@@BrittPearceWatchesVery interested in your review, I’ve had mine for nine months and still love it as much as the day I first got it 😀Great channel, just subscribed…thanks 👍
I love how much you have been covering CW! Its a breath of fresh air in a world of UA-camrs doubling as ADs who have been pushing the prx down our throats for years. Love CW, love this channel, goblin squad foreva
YOU KNOW, I never did a PRX video! By the time I was able to access to one, everyone already had a video and I thought there was nothing I could add to the conversation. ^_^ But man, CW has been absolutely kILLING IT lately!
That is because PRX is a superior watch and was the first to bring back this winning style. It deserves 'all the pushing down the throat'. CW while finished well is overpriced, brand with no history and a corny name.
@@PerKolind oh I know CW sponsored this. But this isn't a situation where certain other UA-camrs are talking about the prx in every other video because they profit off selling them Edit - I mispoke. I don't have any information to support the claim that this is sponsored
My 36mm CW12 arrived this morning, it’s in Nordic Blue. It is a truly beautiful watch to behold, I have a 280mm(7.25ins) wrist but are now into smaller watches and it looks the business. I’m a biker and find that my larger watches are a bit to clunky with motorbike jacket and cloves on. Running at +8secs on my timegrapher but on the wrist appears to be spot on.
I would love for them to more widely adopt the SW300-1. It is a very big step up not only in thickness, but especially in regards to the power reserve. I was a little disappointed that they did not have one of those for the small lineup
Very elegant time piece esp that white dial with the rose gold indices for this model.Even though the mint green is a great summer color to me it is still more matching to other watch designs such as the Oris divers cotton candy or the Ceramic Zodiac.
Great video (+channel) as always I like everything about CW12 except that logo on the dial ! It’s personal taste, but I think the best integrated sports watch under 2k is the Atelier Wen Perception. Beautiful hand-turned guilloche dial. Also comes with slightly better movement. I bought one a few months back (video on my modest UA-cam channel - not as good as this one - if interested) All up it’s still hard to argue with the value on the PRX!
Christopher Ward kinda killin' it the last few years. I'm still waiting on my Bel Canto, which got pushed back to May '24, and I'm trying to tell myself I don't also need a Twelve haha. Also, I see that Bel Canto on your wrist! I await your full video on that one too 🤔😇
It’s a beauty for sure. I’d say there is a better value proposition in the market; but it’s still a CW. I think their Dune C65 - is a masterpiece. Same movement as here. Stunning timeless vibe.
I have a gold PRX and it is stunning. I have more expensive, “nicer” watches but the gold PRX is always noticed by people who don’t even care about watches
I am still in love with the Purple Bel Canto . These updated twelves are nice and you must have read my mind, i think the tissot PRX would pass for a first cousin to this latest twelve release.
I can't speak for the 36, but even the 40 mm wears well on a small wrist. With my 6,5'' wrist I can pull it off with no problem because it's not a massive watch, even with the integrated bracelet. I have the Purple TI and love that watch. Even if it's an homage, it has its own personality.
They always get the 36mm iterations perfect and especially with no date just a perfect watch now all i need is for them to make it in the 40mm varient.
PRX is a great watch but the Twelve is definitely in another class. Better finish, more depth on the dial, I also prefer how the bracelet/strap tapers which gives it more sleeker look. Put PRX next to the Twelve, it’s quite revealing.
I like your upfront take on the comparison with PRX rather than taking the general reviewer route of “It boils down to personal preference”. Good stuff!
Great value for money can be found at various price points. Both the PRX and Twelve are tremendous value; but I would not compare them head to head. I have a PRX and have eyes on a Twelve as well. The bracelet finishing alone is the biggest difference for me.
Have a c60 36mm and was stunned by the quality when it arrived. Saw the Twelve a while back and thought “meh”. Not sure what’s happened to me over the last month or so but now I look at it with lust and envy. I MUST have one. The value for money with CW is astonishing. You’re basically getting a watch that’s worth at least twice as much in terms of spec and quality.
Of course, right after I bought the PRX 35mm Auto in gold PVD they release this little number. That's okay, whilst over all quality is higher with the CW, I don't love the dial texture, and they don't have a cheesy gold version to enjoy.
Bahaha! BUUUUT TO BE FAIR! The gold PVD PRX IS SO DANG SPECIAL and quite different from this in my humble opinion!!! I love the gold!!! But I know, I feel exactly the same - I've been seriuosly looking at buying a Tissot PRX just because the 35mm will be perfect for me..... But I, unfairly got early access to this CW info ;) I've said to them, I freaking need on of these!!!
I got the blue on blue C65 Aquitaine a couple months ago and with other examples in hand, it truly is in many cases competing with $3000-$4000 watches.
Absolute mistake kinda catering the colors to ladies but glad you guys are getting the love Was hoping for plain white but I'll just get the Tissot I guess
Bahaha I wanted to be the FIRST video out! ^_^ Which means posting on my not-regular-time! OUUUU I LOVE THE WFH LIFE! Always a bit more time to take..... Unscheduled breaks... )
Excellent release and cool vid! Loving the size but had hoped for a green that wasn’t so pastel. I mean, it’s a nice summer color but there’s other shades that would have been far more compelling. Wanted absinthe. Ha. Moss, yellow-green, pistachio, jade, I could go on but why?
Great to see your enthusiasm, I hope they give you a free watch 😁. I like the integrated bracelet style, but someone needs to design an adjustable butterfly clasp, spending over £1000 on a watch that is unlikely to fit well and even if it does will become too tight on a hot day doesn't make any sense at all.
Bahaha no free watches for the gringa! Gah, I am so with you on the butterfly clasp! Actually Vacheron has created a little micro adjustment on the Overseas! You pull the bracelet, and there's a little 2.5mm micro adjustment on each side! It's an incredibly clever braceler!

I have the mint prx but will def be getting this as it looks sleeker. Will say that the new prx with the MOP dial is an absolute beauty. I think there’s plenty of space for all of these watches. So happy with everything CW is doing lately.
I have the MOP dial and agree, that milky white dial is something the Twelve just doesn't beat. However, I'm thinking on getting that mint green Twelve for myself too. :)
You're lucky that their shipping service successfully delivered it to you. I went through a horror story getting my dartmouth from them. Not too mention CW doesn't want to be accountable for their shipping service's issues.
Looks great to me and as a small wrist chap, I’d be more interested in this than the 40mm. Extra marks for use of “wanky” which was a staple in conversations between a former work colleague and myself! Highly descriptive when used in the appropriate context! And, Brit, you need to review the new Tonneau range from Farer! They also look excellent 👌
Right?! As a fellow small wrist folk, I just think the proportions are sooo much nicer with this size! Bahaha and it's important that people know that you know that you are being wanky hahaha ;) We're all w@nkers sometimes! ;)
@@BrittPearceWatches my largest watch is 42mm…you can probably guess which! But, I’m much more comfortable in the 38-40mm range. And I’d have no problem at all wearing a 36mm (I have a 34mm Constellation my wife gave me for our engagement!), especially as the integrated bracelet will make this Twelve wear slightly larger. And, as for “wanky”, as the great Billy Connolly once said: “People think swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary. That’s nonsense. I know at least 126 words. I just prefer “f***” to the other 125!” Please do get onto Farer. I went to visit them when I bought by Crooms II GMT. Lovely people to deal with and they’re doing great things.
Britt, incorporate a lume shot and that would be your 12. I like that they have made the hour hand arrow head base slimmer. I would like to see a COSC cert. for the price. 28800 BR vs Powermatic80 21600.
As a current owner of the 35mm Tissot PRX I have to say that I was looking forward to what CW would bring out in the 36mm version. I am slightly bummed they did not bring out Titanium versus on as I really wanted the purple one. But what they did bring out……geez, the watch is just a dream for my 6.25” wrist. Thanks for the video Britt! I loved it
I find it so beautiful in these proportions. I have a 42mm Breitling that wears wonderful but when I tried on the 40mm PRX it felt huge. I bought my Wife a 35mm PRX and it wears fantastic, I would really like to buy this but I've come to rely on a date window so hopefully they will release a version in the future with a date.
I tried the 40mm PRX too and also felt like it was huge. I decided to buy the 40mm 'Twelve' anyway, because I heard in several reviews it wears smaller than the PRX and I totally agree. It's absolutely perfect for my 18.5cm wrist (7.3"), so no regrets whatsoever.
OUSH!!! It’s a really really tough call! 😱 I am team Christopher Ward! 🙈 I think the finishing is just don’t to a higher degree and it slightly more elevated!
Such a tough call. I'm looking at the white models for both watches. Much prefer the no date and the finishing of the CW but the gold accents are putting me off a bit. The MOP dial on the Tissot is gorgeous though... and is much cheaper! Might just have to flip a coin!
@@dparmar005 most parts in a Powermatic80 can be serviced afaik, the issue is that the movement is so cheap that it makes no economic sense to actually service the components and it's cheaper to just replace the movement.
I’m a fan of the 12. It’s my favorite affordable integrated. Where before I didn’t have a favorite at the affordable end of the market, as I’m not a fan of the PRX. Or other similar watches in this category. Now that there’s 40 and 36mm versions of the 12. I’d like to see a 38mm variant. But thats likely not going to happen 🤷♂️
Ahhh no way!!! YES! It’s called the “twin flag” logo! :) so it’s the English flag and Swiss. Which is cool! I thought it looked like a pixel or something for so long! 😅
Britt! CW is killing it. Though this model is not in my wheel house, I feel that I am missing out not having a CW model in my stable. Great video and review. Keep killing it. Also "7 inch?" I am assuming that Papi had a growth spurt? HA! Long Live the Cult(s)!
I'm french, I don't understand all what you say but perhapse 50% ! I love CW and it's been a long time I want to buy a CW ! I confess the green one with the rubber is nice ! I love the C65 sandhurst bronze too ! So I have to make a choice...😛 I wish my english is good enough ! Thanks !
As for me, I just bought a Marine Nationale Pelagos😛 (Pre-owned prices for unworn condition examples have zonked right down to around retail price. Happy days! And may it extend to more and more of the watches where ADs have been doing the "waitlist p-take routine"...
@@BrittPearceWatches The one I'm getting is year 23 - unworn and still partly stickered up, nearly all of the warranty still remaining. (I'm not phased by the year of issue thingy, seeing I plan to keep it and use it as a holiday/weekend watch.🤗) EDIT: I did ask a couple of ADs that I'm in good standing with about getting a new one, but they're all saying there is still a big waiting list, and that they aren't getting huge numbers delivered, etc. So grey is definitely the way - if the price is at/near retail.
It is quite an interesting watch with all the details! The 40mm might offer more with in the titanium version with the chronometer movement. Just need to try it out if it works on my wrist, lug to lug and all that. - Yes a designer from Audi once went to Kia and one could see his hand in the designs he did for them initially
Yes, I think the titanium offering does give the 40mm quite the end - case material AND experimenting with the really accuracy COSC certified movement! I think that is something insanely special from CW! I just wish it aesthetically looked better on me! :( DANG THESE SMALL WRISTS!
The only change I would make is to have a shorter strap as standard. If the majority of customers are going to have smaller wrists then a strap sized for an 8" wrist is silly. The long strap looks silly on your wrist (11:00 - 11:20)
It’s interesting how any watch with an integrated bracelet is almost automatically deemed a Genta-sequence homage when it was Omega that debuted an integrated bracelet back in the late 1960s with their Constellation lineup, such as ref 166.059 (TV case in 18k) and ref 168.045 (Day-Date in 18k). Why is it that Omega releases coloured dials and are seen as copying Rolex, but Rolex copying Glycine’s GMT bezel is apparently groundbreaking Rolex innovation. The bias in the world of watches is strong, but they definitely show the power of marketing and prestige. Great video as per usual!
I'm a bit torn. A date window is something I find useful for both work and some hobbies so anything without one is largely relegated to only being a weekend watch. But 36 mm would be a safer bet on my wrist than the 40mm with a 6 inch-ish wrist. I recently tried on a 40 mm PRX and it just did not sit well on me. But the Twelve looks like it has a lot more flex on those end links so it might still work on me. The Large Santos de Cartier (in blue) works on me after all. Sadly, being in the US means I can't just try one on in a store. Unrelated: I LOVE the linen shirt on Editing Brittney. The texture is really visible and gives it character in a way I wish my denim blue linen shirt did.
Lovely watch, not for me but I get why you've been waiting for this one. Just had a look at their website and they really do make some nice watches. Don't have one but the C60 Pro 300 Bronze might just be a good contender 🙂 And of course.... nice video as always 🌞
I was looking forward to this watch for a while. Having seen the announcement yesterday, I feel very let down - no colour matched date wheel, no Ti option, no Ti dial options AND no COSC movement option. It feels like they are punishing smaller wrist people by rushing out a crappier version of the full watch that is only available at 40mm. Surprised if you don't have issues with it on that front but I prefer to get the Tissot PRX 35 since they have managed to offer the full experience at a smaller size! I can't express how gutted I am by this from CW!
I have only two issues with this otherwise good looking watch - the dodecagon bezel and the price, which after the government takes its pound of flesh and DHL adds its brokerage fees, is pushing $2K CDN. I'll be sticking with my 35mm quartz PRX.
I’m having a crisis! At first I wanted to get the Tissot PRX, than I saw the Nivada F77 which blew me away but now CW did it again and released this ode to design which is just glorious! What am I to do 😂 The cheap scape in me says Tissot, the hipster says Nivada and the passionate lover says CW! What am I to do 😂?
What’s with the rubber strap? In every wrist shot all o focus on is the excess strap sticking right out. On you and watch papis wrist. Is it supposed to be cut to fit and obviously you can’t with a borrowed watch.
Great offering! I recently went to the Christopher Ward showroom and tried the 40 mm on. It sat very nicely on my just under 7" wrist. But now I'm not so sure which on to choose.
I bought PRX quartz used to wear on both rubber and bracelet simply for a size check. Wore it for for a month and decided it's too big for my tastes. Flipped it for $10 less. Just an option to try a cheap version 1st for sizing purposes.
Hi Britt. Would be cool to take a look at the new CW c63 mulberry and and dragonfly blue models on their new consort bracelet. (Am looking to buy my first 500+ watch and can't find a decent review of either of these and CW do not have boutiques ahhh 😂)
It’s hard not to think Tissot PRX, but it’s still very clearly elevated above that watch across the board and it has just enough of its own flair to justify itself. They’re an easy purchase, like most CW watches.
You should ask DeLugs to make CTS rubber strap for it. They're SO much nicer than floppy rubber pin buckle straps that seem to all be made for an 9" wrist.
I just got my Sealander C63 GMT with the white dial and I was honestly blown away when I first put it on. it far surpassed my expectations based on what I saw online. CW really needs to get their watches in more boutiques for people to see them in person
RIGHT?! This is the watch that got me into CW!

“People think swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary. That’s nonsense. I know at least 126 words. I just prefer “f***” to the other 125!”
Please do get onto Farer. I went to visit them when I bought by Crooms II GMT. Lovely people to deal with and they’re doing great things.
I love the Twelve Ti and I’m getting the purple one for my precious daughter’s wedding ✊
I own the ice blue prx and I honestly see the twelve as a step above and worth the extra coin.
Britt, incorporate a lume shot and that would be your 12. I like that they have made the hour hand arrow head base slimmer. I would like to see a COSC cert. for the price. 28800 BR vs Powermatic80 21600.
YOU KNOOOOW THIS IS BRILLIANT! And this is my greatest channel downfall.... WHY DON'T I EVER HAVE A LUME SHOT?! THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED!
As a current owner of the 35mm Tissot PRX I have to say that I was looking forward to what CW would bring out in the 36mm version. I am slightly bummed they did not bring out Titanium versus on as I really wanted the purple one. But what they did bring out……geez, the watch is just a dream for my 6.25” wrist. Thanks for the video Britt! I loved it
I feel as though they will bring out a titanium version, perhaps closer to Christmas. Hopefully with that purple dial
I find it so beautiful in these proportions. I have a 42mm Breitling that wears wonderful but when I tried on the 40mm PRX it felt huge. I bought my Wife a 35mm PRX and it wears fantastic, I would really like to buy this but I've come to rely on a date window so hopefully they will release a version in the future with a date.
I tried the 40mm PRX too and also felt like it was huge. I decided to buy the 40mm 'Twelve' anyway, because I heard in several reviews it wears smaller than the PRX and I totally agree. It's absolutely perfect for my 18.5cm wrist (7.3"), so no regrets whatsoever.
EXACTLY THIS! Take my money!
R I G H T?!
I also love this watch! Thanks for this video!👋
Ahhh thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed!
First video I've seen of the new 36mm. Nice one Britt. I'm still debating whether to get this or the 35mm Tissot PRX Powermatic 80...??
OUSH!!! It’s a really really tough call! 😱 I am team Christopher Ward! 🙈 I think the finishing is just don’t to a higher degree and it slightly more elevated!
Based on the lack of serviceability of the movement in the Tissot prx, I would consider choosing the C-ward for this factor alone.
Such a tough call. I'm looking at the white models for both watches. Much prefer the no date and the finishing of the CW but the gold accents are putting me off a bit. The MOP dial on the Tissot is gorgeous though... and is much cheaper! Might just have to flip a coin!
@@dparmar005 most parts in a Powermatic80 can be serviced afaik, the issue is that the movement is so cheap that it makes no economic sense to actually service the components and it's cheaper to just replace the movement.
Tried on the PRX Wed, its very very small......
I’m a fan of the 12. It’s my favorite affordable integrated. Where before I didn’t have a favorite at the affordable end of the market, as I’m not a fan of the PRX. Or other similar watches in this category. Now that there’s 40 and 36mm versions of the 12. I’d like to see a 38mm variant. But thats likely not going to happen 🤷♂️
Love the explanation of the new CW logo … did not know this … love it!
Ahhh no way!!! YES! It’s called the “twin flag” logo! :) so it’s the English flag and Swiss. Which is cool! I thought it looked like a pixel or something for so long! 😅
It's great to see some new dials out there instead of the same old crap that the big players put out year after year. Props to CW.
What are the hands and indices made from on the ice dial version?
Great video Brit. Where can a Tissot PRX owner actually try one of these beauties on
Ahh thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed! As for CW, the trick is always trying one on. They only sell online -.- SOOOO...... Redbar? haha
Britt! CW is killing it. Though this model is not in my wheel house, I feel that I am missing out not having a CW model in my stable. Great video and review. Keep killing it. Also "7 inch?" I am assuming that Papi had a growth spurt? HA! Long Live the Cult(s)!
DON H IS HERE!
I owned the c9 small seconds and now I have the c65 super compressor. Super high quality from CW imo, competing with way pricier brands.
@@BrittPearceWatches ahhh, the watch gremlin "wrist workout" cope. CLassic.😂
I'm french, I don't understand all what you say but perhapse 50% ! I love CW and it's been a long time I want to buy a CW ! I confess the green one with the rubber is nice ! I love the C65 sandhurst bronze too ! So I have to make a choice...😛 I wish my english is good enough ! Thanks !
Sounds like a PR audition to me :-)
So cynical 😂
Beautiful as well as the bigger brother (that I own 😅). Also the new light green color looks great
How great are the new colours?! That green specifically, I feel like it is going to be a HIT!
Best use of the phrase “wanky” I’ve heard in ages, only improved by the transatlantic accent too.
Also, cool watch.
As for me, I just bought a Marine Nationale Pelagos😛
(Pre-owned prices for unworn condition examples have zonked right down to around retail price. Happy days! And may it extend to more and more of the watches where ADs have been doing the "waitlist p-take routine"...
ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!! FANTASTIC CHOICE!! MN21?!My husband was able to get the MN22 AND HE BLOODY LOVES IT! But he didn't get a juicy deal like you did!!
@@BrittPearceWatches The one I'm getting is year 23 - unworn and still partly stickered up, nearly all of the warranty still remaining. (I'm not phased by the year of issue thingy, seeing I plan to keep it and use it as a holiday/weekend watch.🤗)
EDIT: I did ask a couple of ADs that I'm in good standing with about getting a new one, but they're all saying there is still a big waiting list, and that they aren't getting huge numbers delivered, etc. So grey is definitely the way - if the price is at/near retail.
It is quite an interesting watch with all the details! The 40mm might offer more with in the titanium version with the chronometer movement. Just need to try it out if it works on my wrist, lug to lug and all that. - Yes a designer from Audi once went to Kia and one could see his hand in the designs he did for them initially
The titanium 40 is great but it has no scratch protection making it a big no for me
Yes, I think the titanium offering does give the 40mm quite the end - case material AND experimenting with the really accuracy COSC certified movement! I think that is something insanely special from CW! I just wish it aesthetically looked better on me! :( DANG THESE SMALL WRISTS!
The only change I would make is to have a shorter strap as standard. If the majority of customers are going to have smaller wrists then a strap sized for an 8" wrist is silly. The long strap looks silly on your wrist (11:00 - 11:20)
...damn it, I'm a sucker for pastel green/blues.
Right?! Me to!
I prefer the looks on the CW, but the PRX has a better movement and more competitive price. So it's PRX for me.
I’m not sure on that, it can’t be regulated and they don’t service it, just replace the whole thing, also has plastic parts 🤷🏻
It’s interesting how any watch with an integrated bracelet is almost automatically deemed a Genta-sequence homage when it was Omega that debuted an integrated bracelet back in the late 1960s with their Constellation lineup, such as ref 166.059 (TV case in 18k) and ref 168.045 (Day-Date in 18k). Why is it that Omega releases coloured dials and are seen as copying Rolex, but Rolex copying Glycine’s GMT bezel is apparently groundbreaking Rolex innovation. The bias in the world of watches is strong, but they definitely show the power of marketing and prestige.
Great video as per usual!
Smashing! I'm not an integrated band guy - but that is a sharp watch. I'd have to go 40mm as I NEED the date in my life ;> Thanks Britt.
I'm a bit torn. A date window is something I find useful for both work and some hobbies so anything without one is largely relegated to only being a weekend watch. But 36 mm would be a safer bet on my wrist than the 40mm with a 6 inch-ish wrist. I recently tried on a 40 mm PRX and it just did not sit well on me. But the Twelve looks like it has a lot more flex on those end links so it might still work on me. The Large Santos de Cartier (in blue) works on me after all. Sadly, being in the US means I can't just try one on in a store.
Unrelated: I LOVE the linen shirt on Editing Brittney. The texture is really visible and gives it character in a way I wish my denim blue linen shirt did.
I would interchange the hands and indices from these two color variants! That would make them not only prettier, but also more legible. .
Take a look at the old IWC Ingenieur. 34mm and wears a little bit larger, JLC Movement and original Genta design. Might be something for you, Britt!
Christmas present for the wife sorted. This new white dial is a stunner.
RIGHT?! It's PERFECT for that!
@@BrittPearceWatches 🤞🏻 haha
PRX and tissot is an easy choice here at half the price and the history the brand carries.
Way too big for many people
Less than half the watch.
Love Christopher Ward!
Holding out for a 38mm version 😂
YOU SHOULD!!! You never know!!!
Can't help but notice the Bel Canto on your wrist!
surely will be an instant blast
Wow a scoop! I just saw that this released and heres a video about it
Right?! This literally never happens for me hahaha! Sooo excited CW gave me early access to this!
I hope they introduce a purple titanium in 36mm.
Lovely watch, not for me but I get why you've been waiting for this one. Just had a look at their website and they really do make some nice watches. Don't have one but the C60 Pro 300 Bronze might just be a good contender 🙂
And of course.... nice video as always 🌞
Edwin is HERE!
How supple is the rubber?
Ridiculously supple, the comfiest rubber strap I’ve tried.
100% perfect on your wrist.
Itty bitty wrist committee REJOICE!
I was looking forward to this watch for a while. Having seen the announcement yesterday, I feel very let down - no colour matched date wheel, no Ti option, no Ti dial options AND no COSC movement option. It feels like they are punishing smaller wrist people by rushing out a crappier version of the full watch that is only available at 40mm. Surprised if you don't have issues with it on that front but I prefer to get the Tissot PRX 35 since they have managed to offer the full experience at a smaller size! I can't express how gutted I am by this from CW!
I have only two issues with this otherwise good looking watch - the dodecagon bezel and the price, which after the government takes its pound of flesh and DHL adds its brokerage fees, is pushing $2K CDN. I'll be sticking with my 35mm quartz PRX.
I hope they release their titanium fume dials in a 36 too. The purple fume is their best 12 release in my opinion
Gringa Thursday 🎉
I’m having a crisis! At first I wanted to get the Tissot PRX, than I saw the Nivada F77 which blew me away but now CW did it again and released this ode to design which is just glorious! What am I to do 😂 The cheap scape in me says Tissot, the hipster says Nivada and the passionate lover says CW! What am I to do 😂?
I would LOVE a 36mm Twelve, but I went with the PRX as it's half the price (I got mine for a decent discount). Maybe some day when I'm loaded lol
Good choice, you chose the superior brand with history , pedigree while saving money.
What’s with the rubber strap? In every wrist shot all o focus on is the excess strap sticking right out. On you and watch papis wrist. Is it supposed to be cut to fit and obviously you can’t with a borrowed watch.
No, it's just a medium length strap and I have absurdly tiny wrists!! ^_^ I always need straps in small or extra small!
Doubt we’ll see a chronometer version until current waiting list subsides for the date variant
Does this wear bigger than the 35mm prx?
Great vlog
Great offering! I recently went to the Christopher Ward showroom and tried the 40 mm on. It sat very nicely on my just under 7" wrist. But now I'm not so sure which on to choose.
I bought PRX quartz used to wear on both rubber and bracelet simply for a size check. Wore it for for a month and decided it's too big for my tastes. Flipped it for $10 less.
Just an option to try a cheap version 1st for sizing purposes.
cool, but i prefer PRX with powermatic 80
Team Bracelet!
Hi Britt. Would be cool to take a look at the new CW c63 mulberry and and dragonfly blue models on their new consort bracelet.
(Am looking to buy my first 500+ watch and can't find a decent review of either of these and CW do not have boutiques ahhh 😂)
Ahhh crumbs! Let me see what I can do! :)
Seconded (no pun intended)
It’s hard not to think Tissot PRX, but it’s still very clearly elevated above that watch across the board and it has just enough of its own flair to justify itself. They’re an easy purchase, like most CW watches.
This is exactly it! It feels like the PRX refined! It just depends on if you're in the position to pay that bit more!
I'm a big fan of this brand ..... and love the 36mm !
Ahhhh I love it too!
I just want a black dial version of the 40mm and I'll buy it in a heartbeat
Pretty sure there is a very dark gray dial option.
Gah! They have some really close ones - but not quite black!
You should ask DeLugs to make CTS rubber strap for it. They're SO much nicer than floppy rubber pin buckle straps that seem to all be made for an 9" wrist.
