Re: “The Twelve” is live

@sproughton, from the looks of that picture, legibility with the white dial should not be an issue. It looks fantastic. From what I could tell from CW's website images, the hands and indices on the white dial (and maybe the pale blue) are slightly darker than on the darker colour dials. I think thi...

Re: “The Twelve” is live

No worries! I would say 6.5 inch wrist is about the minimum for this watch. On rubber, down to 6 inches should be fine. I think I'm a bit less than 6.5 but works fine for me. 20230429_142905.jpg Yeah, it looks great on your wrist, and anyway, it comes down to what you like and what feels right. The...

Re: “The Twelve” is live

@AlphaLimaGolf Your measurements are really helpful, thank you. If you still have your calipers out, could you please at some point also measure the diameter of the crystal and of the dial, both including and excluding the minute-track? Many thanks in advance. :thumbup: Flat side of one side of the...

Re: “The Twelve” is live

I also got lucky and managed to get a perfect fit with no half links. So the bracelet links look identical all the way around.

Re: “The Twelve” is live

It definitely wears smaller than you’d expect from a 40mm integrated watch. I actually measure the bezel at 38.5mm, which probably explains a lot. Excellent heads-up. Thank you. :thumbup: Yes with a watch like this, 40mm from where to where? Can you tell us or perhaps show how the bracelet drapes f...

Re: “The Twelve” is live

First thoughts, it doesn't wear as big as I thought it would Received my white dial about an hour ago and it wears spot on for my 6.9inch wrist. It definitely wears smaller than you’d expect from a 40mm integrated watch. I actually measure the bezel at 38.5mm, which probably explains a lot. Am real...

Re: CW price increases coming April 3rd, 2023

The Sealander Elite on bracelet seems to have gone up a lot, it’s now £1,550. Pretty sure that’s about £200 more than it was, but maybe mistaken.

Moonglow is now £1,995, £2,045 on bracelet.

Re: CW price increases coming April 3rd, 2023

They’ve changed now, most up £60-£120. The Super Compressor went up £80.

Although the new C63 SH21s didn’t go up at all, so guess these were priced higher on release.

Re: CW price increases coming April 3rd, 2023

I’ve just ordered the C65 Super Compressor on bracelet today (which will be my 5th CW) before tomorrow’s price rise. Will be interesting to see how much it jumps by. With inflation as it is, I have a feeling this will be a larger jump than before. I wasn’t planning to purchase until later this year,...

Re: Can a watch model change your size preferences?

I think it depends what strap you plan to wear it on?

I have 7” wrists and on the bracelet with male end links it looks amazing. When I switch it onto the black/orange hybrid it still looks good, but just a tad small.

I expect it will wear slightly smaller still on the tide strap.

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

Seems like this launch was pretty successful for CW. Just took a look on their website and almost all of the C63 watches which were available at launch are now back on pre-order only.

For those who missed out, most seem to be available again end of may - mid june.

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

Agreed. A 1mm difference in size has much less of an effect on how a watch wears than other factors, such as bezel to dial ratio, lug to lug, protruding end links, colour and strap choice. The slim bezel (and therefor larger dial) and protruding end links on the C63 GMT, means it wears much more lik...

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

I've also written a review of it if anyone wants a closer look at an owner's perspective of the watch. Excellent and very detailed review, must have taken a lot of time. I’m really enjoying my auto, the 39mm size fits my 7 inch wrist spot on. But can see that a lot of people with 6.5 inch and below...
