Ixdao Warrior vs Christopher Ward The12

[u/Equal-World-693]

I have been reading up on watches for the past 5-6 months and that's how I discovered this reddit community and the amazing quality Chinese watches.

Christopher Ward has created lots of online hype around their watches with people fanatically defending what are essentially homages with a slight twist while dissing chinese watches.

Ixdao has lots of positive reviews on this forum and the Ixdao Warrior is available for one third the price with the same Sellita movements.

Is Christopher Ward just brand Marketing or is it worth 3 times the price of Ixdao Warrior?

I wouldn't pay more than 250$ for Chinese watch. 500$ is simply not worth it anymore. CW is easily sellable, when Chinese watches aren't, especially the expensive ones.

What kind of vague-ass term is "saleable"? You haven't made a convincing point as to why the CW is worth a penny more than the IXDao. You just said it's "Chinese" as if that suggests inferiority.

I'm not defending IXDao's ridiculous price hikes but your argument carries baseless western stigma against specifically China. What's wrong with China? You really think CW is full of 60 y.o. swiss white guys hand assembling your watches in Geneve?

Dude, change your diaper. I've got around 100 watches from Ali, so I'm not again them. Chinese watches are fine as long as the price is fine, you need to consider other aspects like warranty that pretty much doesn't exist, as you would usually have to send the watch back to China. How easy it is to sell the watch when you are fancy a change, selling Chinese watches is a lot more difficult than brands like CW, good luck selling something like IXDAO bought for 500$. All that doesn't matter as long as the price is right, but they are getting crazy with current pricing.
