Catch or Release

Just bought a 36mm Christopher Ward 12. Can't decide if it's too similar to my Formex Essence 39 to survive in the same collection. ??

No don't sell, those are both amazing colors and textures and the bands are definitely different enough. I would love either if you do sell tho 😜

·

😅. Going to keep the Formex. I have 60 days to decide on the CW. There's going to be a lot of eyeballing over the next few days 😵‍💫

·

There's some overlap but I would keep both:

Green vs blue

Integrated vs quick release bracelet

Date vs no date

Tool/GADA vibe vs dressier vibe

Both watches are on my wish list so I might be a little biased :)

·

Yep keep both! They are different enough and both very cool.

·

Safe to keep

·

Keep both I’d the both wear well!

·

Very different colors and enough detail to be different while still having what clearly is a design you prefer

·

I have the Formex Essence 39 in blue and it essentially erased any desire I may have had for any integrated sports watch. It's not technically an integrated bracelet watch, but has a lot of the best elements of the Genta watches in a more versatile package. You have to ask yourself if you'd ever wear the Twelve, since you already have the Essence. The fact that your Twelve is a different colour helps though.

·

Very little similarity other than they are both steel sports watches not even the same colour

·

I would say yes as it's more of a dress/sports watch, but it does really depend on the rest of your collection

·

Thanks for all the comments. The Twelve is a beautiful watch but I decided is was just that bit too dressy for my taste and I decided to return it. On to the next one 😀

100% keep both
