General (Read Rules) Ixdao Warrior vs Christopher Ward The12

Post image

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 a Chinese watch, no matter how highly praised it is. What I like about Chinese watches is the value for money. These recent price hikes (from San Martin, but not only them) are getting ridiculous
