Apparently the green dials aren't being produced until the first 300 blue are finished and I heard somewhere that was going to be approx march 2023.

I've ordered one too.

It's so rare to see anything truly original at a price point that means many people will get to enjoy.

Thanks to this forum, I ordered one today.

Unbelievable price point and a good looking watch. Looks at least from pictures and videos a much more expensive watch then it is.


January 2024, the long wait.

The reviews I’ve seen state a 22mm width.

Proof it's too important a timepiece to ignore when even HoDink reports on it.

22mm is correct for the lug width.

From pictures and video, I am not convinced of the level of finishing but ordered mine. At this price point it offers uniqueness and complication that no other brand offered. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I can confirm that it is not a Rolex or Patek in terms of quality or finishing. Even winding it up is an unsatisfying experience. The "chime" every hour is just amazing and the watch gets a lot of comments. At the price point however - it is just a bargain and I feel it will be a watch that has established itself in history. It has certainly created waves in the industry.

I'm also from the watches@ group and can confirm the gold LE run. I ordered that one and am wondering if I should order another color since I love Bel Canto so much.

I just received an email for Christopher Ward stating that they are raising their prices across the board on April 3rd.

Hopefully they don't raise the total price of the Bel Canto for those of us that already paid a deposit.

From the CW forum it appears that the price at deposit will be honored.

For those who placed an order for the Bel Canto, did you manage to pay in GBP and/or without paying local VAT?

I got my blue dial from the secondary market but my order for the salmon dial was in AU$ and VAT free but free shipping. I expect to have to pay the 10% GST plus paperwork fees on arrival.

Was it confirmed there are going to be 200 of these? I thought it was only those who ordered within a certain time window would be accepted?

Posting this one more time in a different thread as it will probably get more exposure here. If anyone's interested, it appears a member on the Christopher Ward forum will be raffling their Bel Canto Verde (Green) with the assistance of Christopher Ward. The proceeds will be going to their local acute NHS hospital.

They've noted entrants are welcome from any country. I came across the thread while browsing their forum, but I currently can't post links. The title of the thread is "Change of mind, the Bel Canto will be RAFFLED" and its in their general discussions sub-forum.
