Got mine Titanium Twelve in Purple about a week ago and i am honestly really surprised about how good it feels. I had a bit of fear that the dial pattern would be way too "into your face" and the color will be too bright. I am very delighted with how it looks like in real life. Sure, that is not a subtle under the radar type of watch, but it looks beautifully and not too screaming about it. In dark environments it doesn't even looks purple for other people. Very lightweight and very thin, when it comes to accuracy - it is currently on +18 seconds after a week of wearing. I didn't have any problems with customer service as well, support was very prompt with all my questions during my ~4 months waiting on the pre-order.

P.S. Yes, i wear the watch very close to my wrist. I know it and i like to wear my watches like this.

obsessed with that purple dial!

Purple, red & orange dials need more love imo.

It kinda reminds me of the Tissot PRX

Both the PRX and this are heavily inspired by the AP Royal Oak. The Christopher Ward website even has an article that states that Gerard Genta was the greatest watch designer who ever lived (designer of the Royal Oak and the Nautilus). That said, I love both the PRX and the Twelve so they’re definitely on to something.

I've been eyeballing that thing for a while and the real life pic closed the deal.

Do Christoper Wards keep value over time?
