I really like my dark blue dial Twelve. I was going to buy a PRX before the Twelve came out. Tried a PRX on and it just looked and felt cheap on my wrist. I bought the CW half expecting to return for a refund. I made up my mind with 10 seconds that it was a keeper.

I bought and sold a PRX
Not sure if they used a cheap steel for the bracelet but I couldnāt wear it, caused eczema issues.
Also why I canāt wear leather straps
I havenāt tried the CW bracelet though.
I donāt like them. Big and bland.
Seems a lot of people do.

Plastic tat or marketing genius?

I like the aesthetics of whitebread watches but their marketing is bordering on Rolex levels of disingenuous so Iāve always shied away from paupering myself for what is a basic 3 hand dive watch.
Now I can have a garish plastic version for 400 of your American dollars.
It is an auto though so thereās that.
I donāt normally click on these links because the goods proffered will invariably be both comical and hideous. Absent mindedly I clicked on this one.

Swatch group seem to bre doing all they can to trash the reputations of the brands they own.

About as brittle, apparently
If you donāt like the plastic get an Ali knockoff. Some of those are make of chinesium pot metal which is a step up really.
I have a Sheitling endurance of this ilk that I use when fucking up my garden or doing the tip run that I bought while not quite all there a few years back. It eats batteries but steadfastly refuses to die. Probably because itās made of badly painted metal and not recycled dildos or whatever.

On the wait list for one of those.
Oh no. Itās called an expression of interest.
There are no wait lists.
There were 5 full page ads in the Guardian today. Loads already on eBay for a grand or more. I can kind of see the attraction with the Omega ones but I donāt think they are doing Blancpainās rep any favours.

It does seem to detract from their more spendy brands.
Bio ceramic sounds a right load of old bollocks.
LOL, ābio ceramicā seems to mean polyurethane with an aluminium oxide filler. High tech? Not.

The moonswatch has had some horrendous quality problems, pushers falling off, colour transferring on to wrists, generally falling apart and being shit sort of stuff. The Aliexpress rip offs are way better quality for Ā£20.
Canāt imagine that the blancpain tie in will be any better. At least that thereās no pushers to fall off.
They are fucking mingin.

This is true.
Honestly if I wanted a cheap Blancpain looky likey Iād buy the Steeldive for Ā£150.
Ugh, a rip-off design with an unlicensed car name on it.
There are nice watches available out there for the price of all this godawful tat.
