Christopher Ward Twelve X Black ShadowvsGlycine Airman Bronze GMT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow for its exceptional titanium finishing, dynamic case design, and skeletonized COSC-certified SH21 movement with a 120-hour power reserve. Some owners note sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished interior clasp surfaces, while reviewers mention legibility issues common to skeletonized watches and a thickness of 12.3mm making it feel chunkier than other models. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow highly for its impressive in-house movement and titanium finishing at its price point.

The Glycine Airman Bronze GMT is praised by some owners for its 39mm size and 200m water resistance, with one owner finding it a well-built and finished modern take on the original. However, one owner criticized the main 12-hour hand on the 24-hour dial, stating it made the watch difficult to use and broke the original bezel function, leading to a return. Overall, owners are split on the utility of the Glycine Airman Bronze GMT's 12-hour hand on its 24-hour dial.
