Yep, just received the email from CW a few minutes ago. Limited to 200 pieces each. I'm sure these will go fast!

ooh I like them all! Not sure about the sizing. When I tried the current models at the British Watchmakers event, the 36 was too small bu tthe 40mm was fine. I think the 38 will be great.

I like all the colours, I just wish the mango was more salmon/copper. I want a salmon Twelve haha!

Also I see you can only preorder them with the rubber strap. No bracelet for now?

They can make all these mango, peach, blueberry colored straps, why cant they add a white strap to the collection already?! So many twelves would go amazing with the white instead of black strap

Good point.

Sounds like a suggestion you might want to make directly to CW.

Read it again. It’s a bundle, bracelet AND strap.

Have gone peach!! I ummed and aaahed for far too long (almost doing the sensible thing of buying two!). Think 38mm will be perfect sweet spot, and love the fact it comes with bracelet and strap (and that the bracelet has micro-adjust!).

I'm not going to do Ice Cream, but do we think this would count as a Chilli version. :wink: :wink:

I imagine that CW will subsequently release non LE models in both steel and titanium, using more mainstream colours. However having put a date on the LE 38 models, it is highly likely that subsequent versions in 38 will also have a date.

Word of advice, my wife is not a watch person, she just indulges me. So when she sees a watch that she really likes - well you know the rest of the story. The new CW 38mm, Mint that comes with a Steel Bracelet & The Twelve Rubber. Think I will be selling a watch or two, LOL

Anyone else surprised these are still available for pre order? I suspected given limited to 200 pieces each they would have gone by now.

Not at all. They already have the 40 and 36 in their lineup and they've been adding numerous variations in short order, so this is literally another extension of the Twelve line, albeit a bit exotic at that.

And, in my opinion, the marketing strategy behind these is a bit sketchy. These colours once again remind me of a certain brand and their colourful dials a couple of years back. Besides, I don't think all of these represent the ice cream theme too well. What I've had in mind regarding the Twelve line for a while is a soft pink or a salmon dial. Perhaps that's going to be added as a non-LE colour.

However, I do like the addition of the 38 size and the quick-adjust clasp. The former is my sweet spot and the latter is something I deeply crave in each and every metal bracelet due to my wrist size changing during the day.
