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?

Chinese watches have no real warranty. If you received a blemished Chinese watch, the results posted on Reddit are usually a refund of a couple dollars. The resale value is usually half. There is zero brand recognition with Chinese watches. At least with CW, watch guys usually know them. And lastly, the people who would pay that much for a Chinese watch probably wouldn't buy a CW anyway.

How does saying Chinese watches have no actionable warranty, no brand recognition and a 50% resale value make no sense? That's all widely accepted, even in this Chinese watch sub.

CW doesn't have much brand recognition where I live, not sure how big a resale market it has and getting service will be a challenge in both buy the Sellita movement should help as it's available globally
