It's landed
I was worried that the blued hands may look a bit cheap, but this is a beauty. My first TWELVE and definitely a keeper

Ooh, that's a bit earlier than expected. Looking forward to mine now!

That looks fantastic, Tony. Congratulations.

That's a bit special. Nice looking, proven in-house movement, quality bracelet and hand finished! At that price it's got to be one of the bargains of recent times. A truly exceptional piece that is worthy of a place in any collection. Congratulations.

Lovely Tony. Congratulations.

Thanks mate.
This one is on its way back to CW Towers
Didn't have the serial no I was promised and the winding mechanism seems too stiff to me and it is difficult to sit the crown back onto the stem
I have many other SH21s - none anyway ear as stiff.

Oh no, that's really disappointing for you.

Tis, BUT I was blown away by the watch so I am happy to wait to make sure it is 'right'.

Will ask for a reassurance that this watch won't be released until I get my promised serial no 100 watch, although I suppose they will just change the caseback????

I don't want to have to wait 10 weeks for a repair though

I can’t talk to your specific watch, Tony, but when my FLE C63 came to me with almost identical issues (no serial number, winding was awful) they turned around the repair really quickly. I appreciate it’s a different movement but I think they give new watches a bit of priority? As a consequence though, my serial number engraving was clearly rushed and looks different to all the other FLEs, but then I rarely see it so it’s fine.

That Twelve X Steel is stunning though! Congratulations and I hope you get it back soon!

Stunning - not heard anything about mine yet but like you I've requested a specific serial number so it'll be interesting to see if I get it.

My Concept has (and has always had) the same 'issue' with the crown engaging but there is a definite knack to it and I've never sent it back for 'repair' - maybe it's a SH21 thing.

Hope you get it back soon and I'll be keeping an eye on my emails a bit more closely!

I'm awaiting mine too, and was told it will arrive just in time for xmas.
