It's been on my list for a long time, I think your video pushed me over the edge! Thanks for the great video as always.

[@BraveBeaters]

Haha, thanks Mike :)

[@mcody68]

Lucky enough to have one (my brother has an original vintage one too). Superb quality and attention to detail. Hard to fault. Greta vid as always 🫡

[@BraveBeaters]

Wow the original one! A killer watch! Thank you Mark! :)

[@matthewmccord99]

Pretty cool! I love all the little details and this is certainly loaded with features. Thanks for the hookup on the strap code.

[@BraveBeaters]

:D anytime! I was planning to buy myself one and the strap is an incentive bosst to do it :D

[@truesf345]

This watch would make a great addition to any watch roll 👍🏼

[@BraveBeaters]

Agreed!

[@alvinmick218]

Excellent video and review! This could definitely be a one watch collection piece. Very fascinating design. Thanks for featuring it. 🥃

Great review Andrei! Thanks!!!

[@BraveBeaters]

Thank you :)

[@anthonysmith2982]

I'm really starting to fall in love with this piece. As you said Andrei, finding a genuine GADA chronograph isn't easy. My Certina DS Chronograph Automatic purchase fell through - It was a too dressy and a little large for what I want from a daily. But this? At 38/39mm with 100m WR and a good bracelet? I think it's the one. I *love* that stretch 3-link bracelet and prefer the broad arrow hand. And I like how the hour plots on the bezel can be used as a 12hr counter when I need to time something for longer than 30mins. This brand has (re)started strong there'll be plenty of good stuff to come I'm sure. Thanks for another review.

I really love the look of them but i cant seem justify pulling the trigger for some reason.

[@neiloppa2620]

Probably servicing costs would be exorbitant.

[@kunalparmar7792]

Its probably the feeling that 99% of people won't recognise the Brand name and you will keep thinking why you spent $1750 on this brand that most people don't recognise; instead of probably spending a little more and getting a Tudor, Hamilton, Longines or an Omega. Nivada Grenchen is brilliant, but the price point is what's holding ne back as well. I can get a Rado Captain Cook 42mm for $1500, or a Hamilton Intramatic Chronograph for $2000. Longines can also be found for similar price range. But Tudor, Hamilton, Rado, Longines are well known brands.

[@neiloppa2620]

@@kunalparmar7792 the Rado Captain Cook is really nice. If you weren't going to use all the functions in the Nivada, the Rado is a better choice.

[@HRM.H]

@@kunalparmar7792 yeah it's the price and lack of fitting endlinks that really bother me. I can get a manual wind lemania 1873 powered chronograph made by a big independent swiss brand for about 950 usd..

I've never heard of this brand, I'm a Swiss though. So many brands have disappeared with this quartz crisis, we don't realize it. It's a nice watch but when you look at it it looks like the movement is too big for this case size. 100m for a diver is limited but almost all buyers never go diving with these divers, they are bought for their look, the same for chronos. Nice review. PS : I was surprised about only the "Swiss" and not "Swiss Made" what i found... short story Founded in 1926 by Jacob Schneider in Grenchen (Switzerland) 1980 RIP because the Quartz crisis Reborn in 2018 by Guillaume Laidet and Remi Chabrat (France guys) This explain the Swiss only, i think ;)

[@BraveBeaters]

Correct, I think in order to keep the prices down, they made a certain percentage of parts elsewhere for labor costs reasons.

[@KnifeWatch]

Excellent video quality

[@BraveBeaters]

Thank you :)

[@Riverwalker44]

I found the original at a garage sale for $50. Fully functional only thing not original to it was the bracelet.

[@ericgrace9995]

The Swiss Army knife of watches. And FYI, the C. Ward logo is the flags of England and Switzerland. They've dropped the C Ward name on their latest releases. It's not really surprising. It would be like walking round with an ex's name tattooed on your arm.

@BraveBeaters The hand in the 30 minute dial seems to be way off (5:49 in the video) or have I missed something here?

[@MrDPRecio]

Congrats on the fantastic review! I was wondering, have you tested the watch underwater or just snorkeling? 🤔 I believe the vintage model had 200m wr, but the new one is 100m. Not sure about what capabilities it will have underwater

[@BraveBeaters]

Thank you! You are right, the original one had 200 m wr. Sadly I didn't had it in vacation to test it :D
