Whats the concensus on Christopher Ward’s The 12?

I like the new deep green dial they have on the titanium 12. Overall watch looks nice although I never seen it in person.

Whats the overall consensus on The Twelve?

I got to see both the steel and Ti versions at WindUp last year and I think they're terrific. I'd personally go with the titanium - I think the SW300 is a much nicer movement, the dials have a bit more going on, and I love titanium.

Never seen it in person, yet looks like a great value. Agree, go Ti as the C1 Bel Canto Ti bracelet is very nice imho.

Agreed! I just wish they figured out how to add some on-the-fly micro-adjustments to the Twelve bracelet.

It doesn't do anything for me, or any of the twelve series watches. Not that it isn't a good watch or good value. It's just for me that desing doesn't excite me.

I bought the blue titanium a few months ago and sold my zenith defy classic because of it. I think it’s a great integrated sports watch for the price point.

Yep. I loved my Defy but I’ve really wanted a teal blue watch (they were always appealing to me). I figured I’d give it a shot, thinking it wouldn’t hold up to the Defy and I’d just resell it, but I was wrong. Sure, the finishing isn’t as good and it has a simple sellita movement, but it’s slim, the bracelet to me is more comfortable than the defy, the dial pattern has some nice interest, and it just fit the bill for 3x less money!

I recently got to spend some time with the Aurora Green version of the Titanium Twelve, and I was very impressed with the overall build quality, proportions and attention to detail on the dial. Christopher Ward did a great job with this one - I hope the micro adjustment butterfly clasp on the Twelve X Ti makes its way down to the regular lineup too.

The Vulcan is a perfect watch. That's why I can't wait for my Jade Dragon :)

I have this limited edition to 30 pieces on order, judging by the reviews it seems like a hit like the Bel Canto with even more options for dials/case sizes

Cool, not bad at all! I think, this Jash(TM) homage might look good too :)
