I’ve never understood why it’s referred to as an Explorer 2 rip off, you could never mistake them for each other, even in the same colours. It does look quite similar to this one though.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 11:02 am @golfjunky
Okay Greg.
Let's keep it simple and, as is said 'a picture paints a thousand words'.
You believe one of theses watches is a copy of the other.

In which case Joe Bloggs would definitely need to go to Specsavers.

@OllyW - thanks for that. 
I hadn't got around to searching out a photo of the Grand Seiko, but that was going to be my next post.

I think you both know that the blue dial is a different kettle of fish in the discussion.

Re: Why all the negativity towards CW?
There are also individuals who clearly have some type of obscure agenda.
There's another thread in the public sub-forum on watchuseek where a heated debate is going on about how much of a copy CW is to other watches. If you examine the signatures of people exclaiming The Twelve is a rip-off, you'll notice those same people own other watches that are intentionally borrowing designs from other brands. Some even more so than Christopher Ward. It's hard to take those people serious when they have blatant double standards.
