Why the reviewer, in this case, was under the impression that it was uni-directional they are unsure. They will investigate.
There are a plethora of verbal and visual mistakes in my 165 reviews.

He showed some clear case back shots, which shows a full/normal serial #, not a prototype or pre-production model apparently? He did appear to try turning the bezel the other way, though you can’t really be sure via video.
Yes, the C60 Anthropocene GMT now has a bidirectional bezel.

I quoted the only part of your response that I originally commented on, that you initially refuted, and that you are now confirming. The rest of your response and your other responses have been combative and largely unnecessary, and unbecoming.Watch Reviews 4K wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:52 pmas its a given one cannot visually show the force being applied.

I can’t seem to find the video in question, so I’m not sure if it came out after the release of the watch. But even if CW did change that detail at some point, I doubt it would have been a last minute change.

We get it, that watch you reviewed had a unidirectional bezel. We have been corrected. You can stop now.
Fair play, you have every right to set the record straight and individually people will get a notification directly to alert them.Watch Reviews 4K wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 5:08 pm I don't like my reviews being wrongly slagged off.
I am right to defend my credibility as a watch reviewer when this happens.
You see if I don't do it, no one else will do it for me.
Its very damaging for my channel when my reviews get slagged off by multiple people on a forum like this.

I still maintain that, to me at least, it did not appear that you made an attempt at reversing the bezel.Watch Reviews 4K wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:04 pmI wasn't under an impression.Kip wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 10:40 am I have confirmed with CW that the C60 Anthropocene GMT does have a bi-directional bezel.

I tested the bezel action for; lateral side-to side play, back play, and alignment.
The bezel was unidirectional, hence no back play as it could not be rotated clockwise.
Hence me stating in my review Christopher Ward should use a bidirectional bezel on a GMT function watch, rather than a unidirectional 120 click bezel as per a dive watch.

Please be reasonable. Why would someone turn a bezel the wrong way in a review when it does not turn that way? They would have handled the watch before filming and already know what it does or does not do. Instead they explained about the bezel and which way it turned on the model they had.Kip wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:44 pm I still maintain that, to me at least, it did not appear that you made an attempt at reversing the bezel.
That said....
I have been questioning CW since I first saw this video. The final response is "It appears that at some point in the swapping of dials and correcting of various samples for the Anthropocene, I think a GMT case that has an incorrect bezel has potentially been used.
Unfortunately, It is impossible to say definitively what happened. But in any case it is most likely a mistake on our part that was missed."
The C60 Anthropocene GMT was always meant to have a bi directional bezel so what happened to the sample you received cannot be explained. You were not responsible for it being changed. I have no doubt that your input was reviewed but probably caused confusion somewhere since it was supposed to be bi directional anyway.
I thought you did a good review and my only suggestion would be to show a bit more effort at working with a bezel to show the lack of play, turn or whatever. It obviously wasn't convincing to me and I doubt I am alone in that view. Just some constructive criticism.
