From Affordable to Luxury: Christopher Ward Twelve X (Ti) Review

[@ChristopherWardWatches]

Thanks for taking the time, Harrison! The Twelve X (Ti) does indeed feature micro-adjust in the clasp. Just pull on each side of the clasp to extend by 3mm.

[@HarrisonElmore]

My mistake! Thanks for clarifying. Clearly I should’ve played with it more!

[@axguo2k]

Love the design of the Twelve X, just wish it was a bit smaller because the 41mm case widened even further by the end links is just a bit too big for my 6-inch wrist. Being a big fan of titanium, I always love watching your titanium watch reviews, thanks Harrison!

[@squidmaster23]

love this design. it reminds me of the Zenshin Chrono which was one of my favorite watches this year

[@Hypertore]

Isn't there a micro adjustment system in the buckle? In other videos I've seen the links at the buckle could be pulled out to gain a few millimeters Also nice macroshots, though they highlight some imperfections to the movement I wasn't expecting to see

[@RichKovars]

The shipping models do have micro adjust at the clasp. This may be a late stage prototype used as a press sample. This could be the reason for the lack of micro adjust and some imperfections in finish. Just guessing though. EDIT - it looks like the serial is 000 which would be a prototype. He may have just missed the micro-adjust too.

[@HarrisonElmore]

I’ve been told there is I just didn’t pull on the clasp to find out it seems!

[@theWaltVegas]

The Twelve draws a lot from the Czapek Antarctique, but the Twelve X does resemble the Oris with the in-house open dial.

[@chif123]

The new twelve x now have micro adjust.

[@mgapagnolo1819]

Good review. I plan on getting a CW, not that one, but one of their Tridents. I don't really like the skeletonised dials. An open caseback is okay, but not top and back.

[@mell3109]

Are you sure you haven’t got micro adjustment on the review watch? It was announced with it and it’s making its way to all other. I think your wrong, pull the clasp apart and it will adjust 3 mm on each side

[@mell3109]

@ isn’t the watch community fantastic hahaha even though we know everything about this watch we love watching it again. The micro adjustment system is genius and very easy to miss. CW own the patent on it however they don’t make it. The supplier is a top Swiss supplier to many and made a comment that they wish they had thought of it. I believe VC have a similar design.

What you do for a living, mate?

[@فيصل-و3ي]

This one’s actually beautiful.. love the Jaguar new thing reference though

[@Aiprofessional3061]

Don’t believe the false paid hype. I have had numerous quality issues with Christopher Ward watches and many many delays in getting watches. Bel Canto took 12+ months with delays and they released the new one 3 months later. The Twelve TI skeleton was just delayed by at least 3 months due to quality issues in their product…but delivered on their limited edition skeleton twelve. Cancelled my watches on order and sold off the 2 I had. Bad customer management and quality in this watch. Recommend avoiding.

[@trafiak8]

Great video, thanks for the review. I’m thinking of buying this watch! I love it. What size is your wrist? Would just like to compare to my 6.6” wrist.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Usually I add it, should’ve covered. Basically 7” or just shy!

[@Holamessicat]

Recent subscriber here and fan of the channel.. but how can you miss the fact the watch you reviewed has micro adjust?? Every other reviewers already mentioned it. I don’t know what to make out of this

[@HarrisonElmore]

I don’t typically watch reviews from other channels prior to making one. This is a side thing I do because I enjoy it and not a career, and I don’t get briefed on the specs when I receive a watch, so I try to use it and review it how someone buying it for the first time would. I missed it on the website.

[@tec_tom]

I love CW and own the twelve in steel. But I also own a ZENITH Defy Classic Skeleton in titanium grade 5 for the same money like this one!

[@larry.l]

The fact that the skeleton version doesn’t have their CW logo makes it all the more 👌👌👌

[@FightGenius98]

You can buy an omega second hand for this price, pricing is way off

[@Zeppelin180]

Omega themselves have no control over second hand prices of their watches so I’m not sure why (or how) another manufacturer would base their own prices off of them? What if the Omega goes up 30% next year?

[@CarlosEspinoza-pn9zj]

I use to like CW but tbh I’d rather look elsewhere now. Poor quality control, customer service is not there, delays upon delays, they delay my bel canto but then release a limited edition soon after, and if you have any issues good luck getting the resolved in a timely manner.

[@kevnotrite]

Meh, integrated open cases have been played out over time. Readability probably isn't something you're interested in if you're looking at one these. They're trying to get into a market which is already saturated with these types of designs.

[@Mr-Merchant.]

I like CW, the first watch I bought myself was a CW but for the money I'd rather buy a used Omega (90's Speedy) anyone looking at this watch should first look at, Nomos Club, Oris 65, Seiko MM300 or Willard which are all watches on CW levle.

[@RichKovars]

While true none of those are apples to apples. They are VERY different watches. If the look is what you are after you would be hard pressed to find something at that price. All of the watches you mentioned are great watches just not head to head comparisons.

[@Mr-Merchant.]

@ I completely agree, I’m just coming from a value standpoint point and there are many other options. I just feel CW’s pricing is a bit high for the watch, I understand for what it is their is not much on the market but for the money their is a lot other watches.

[@RichKovars]

@ But you have to take into account the specs here. SH21. For the Oris you would have to go to cal 400 at $4100. The Willard isn't close in finishing or materials. The currently shipping MMs are all in the $3k range which is a better comparison but then you are comparing a dive watch to a skeletonized integrated sports watch. If you $5k and you are open to any style that is fine. But it really isn't a criticism against the price. I should be clear too, the 12 in general isn't my thing at all. But having handled it I think the price is fair for what you are getting. The steel version is probably even a better deal being a $150 cheaper with hand finished bridges instead of machine finished. EDIT to add - For that money I would get a second hand Planet Ocean every day of the week.

[@Mr-Merchant.]

@@RichKovars $4100 is a lot of money for a CW, I was just throwing some options out their and not really trying to compare them to the CW. $1000 for a Willard will honestly most likely service someone better than $4100 for a CW, if you are looking at a $4100, I would guess you are pretty green to watches or just a weird collector (which is okay).

[@RichKovars]

@ I disagree a little. I wouldn't say people looking in that range are green. Everyone has different price ranges they are comfortable in. $5k might not be yours and that is okay but someone looking at $5, 10, 20k are not necessarily green. There are a whole lot of buyers out there that can stretch to $5k but can't get to $7-10k which this type of design would cost from other brands.

[@rm9sbg93zxjzg]

I am really tired of these watches... nothing new just new prices!

[@latinballa88]

These watches?

[@rm9sbg93zxjzg]

@@latinballa88 just automatics in general... they are boring me now, since there is nothing new

[@danielgillrup9518]

The price is an absolute joke though…

[@Weedandwatches]

The brand sounds Like some dude that lives up the street All the changes who cares It’s a boring brand
