Watch This BEFORE You Buy A CHRISTOPHER WARD TWELVE TI!
I've made a living reviewing the Tissot PRX but a new challenger has entered the arena! I finally got my hands on the Christopher Ward Twelve Ti in Aurora Green and I think it's safe to say that this blows the PRX out of the water! As it should, since this does cost about as much as 3 PRX Powermatic 80s! Let's get into the details of this watch!

Why Did Citizen STOP Making THIS?? | Citizen Grand Touring Review

What do you when you mix a Rolex Explorer and a Panerai Luminor? The short answer is the Citizen Grand Touring (NB0070-57E)!

    @toddfleury7324 Před 7 dny

    From the future. I hesitated for a long time but if you like GMT watches and like some Seiko models you pretty much have to buy one of these. The parts argument is so true. I have an Angus J and a FKM fitted strap and if I was bothered by the Hardlex I’d have sapphire crystal and bezel insert choices. Just buy it already.

  • @SavageKillaBees
    @SavageKillaBees Před 13 dny

    I had this watch, ended up selling it. Only because it actually wears quite large, the non tapered bracelet and size put me off. Not a fan of the bracelet its very old school. This watch wears huge so if you have smaller wrists just know that. Its also personal preference but the helium valve at 10 o clock bothers me aesthetically. For me I would not go higher than 41mm such as the Omega seamaster 300 heritage model which is the watch I have now. For those with a wrist of 6.5" (like me) or smaller, the seamaster 300 just wears better - in my opinion. I went from an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 to a Submariner Rolex, and now back to Omega Seamaster heritage 300. I sold the Sub because honestly its just a boring watch that everyone has, either real or fake! You just are NOT unique wearing a Rolex sub, I have a 2 tone rose gold Seamaster 300 co axial with the ceragold bezel and its an absolute unique stunner of a piece that costs thousands less than a stainless Sub, so I made my choice!

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa Před 13 dny

      Nice watch! I'd love to get one on the wrist to see how it fits!

    • @SavageKillaBees
      @SavageKillaBees Před 13 dny

      ​@stevepapa even the seamaster 300 heritage is thick, but it's domed in the back. Having experience with dive watches, both the Omega divers have a significant prominence sitting on wrist, in a good way. Both actually aren't perfectly proportioned for smaller wrists, but more can get away with the 41mm than the 42mm. I actually do love how the Seamaster 300 sits vs the Professional 300 diver. Let's face it, in this price range you HAVE to be 100% happy with your watch and be happy with the size. No one makes the rules, if you want to wear a large watch that's a fashion look too.

      @@stevepapa You must! The irony being that most recreational divers are restricted to 30m, with only commercial 'saturation' divers typically working at less than 100! The other irony being that the vast majority of divers these days, wear a specific dive computer while diving (nromally plastic, costing less than $500), not a luxury watch.🤣 I think modern, luxury 'dive watches' are redundant at his point, although fair to say pioneers like Jacques Cousteau are well documented wearing Rollex, Omega and Blancpain. Your smp is a great watch btw. Fantastic movement. I have an earlier model but like you, I work with my hands, so it doesn't get much wrist time.

    I have the 45mm .. the size is big but bought it when the prices went down to $250 back in 2018. A steel at that price. Was pleased that a smaller version came out but the lug to lug is still too long and should have been sub 50. You have to question if this is a ploy by Bulova to get more people interested in the watch and buy it. They have had 5 years to get the watch dimensions correct and they have failed. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a smaller 43.5 version waiting in the wings to be launched when the time is right. Buying this watch is just not practical and I would rather wait for a smaller lug to lug version which is bead blasted ...
