The problem I found with the bracelet was that it is long. Really long. The review watch arrived with one link taken out, and I could slip it over my hand onto my wrist with the clasp closed! I removed all of the remaining removable links, four in total, and it just about fits my 7.5-inch wrist. The links are not printed with arrows to show which direction to remove the pushpin. This may be a problem if you are not experienced in link adjustment, so remember that the end that looks like a screw head isn’t a screw – it’s a V-shaped piece of metal, and it pushes out from the other side. The Swan & Edgar Ambassador, then, is unfortunately not a watch I would choose to buy or wear. Buy a Swan & Edgar Ambassador An alternative to an unbranded Aliexpress watch at half the price with a 5-year warranty. I’ve bought a lot of Parnis and Pagani Design-type watches direct from China, and about half of them had had some kind of cosmetic defect when they arrived. I have tried to call customer service and was disgusted with the delaying tactics that are in place, to earn more money from this method.
It’s another watch from Swan & Edgar. We’ve been surprised by the quality of some of their previous offerings – is the Swan & Edgar Ambassador any good? Swan & Edgar Ambassador ReviewI try to be balanced at WRUK – and so it would be an unfair comparison for me to point out that the Swan & Edgar Ambassador is not a luxury-quality watch at a lower price. I would instead view it as one of two things:
In these times of restricted access to retail outlets and travel etc I find this unacceptable, as in my case and in normal times this would mean a round trip of 20+ miles, plus parking and costs for adjustments. Assuming I have transport! Let’s be clear: the Swan & Edgar Ambassador is not aimed at serious watch collectors. The complaints I hear about the brand are legitimate but equally valid for every fashion brand, like Michael Kors or Emporio Armani and so on. All of these are low-quality, mass-produced watches aimed at people who want a watch that looks cool and do not really care about what is inside. I would appreciate your response and input on this, so that I may return the watch and close my account with Ideal world. The bracelet is again better than some of the cheap watches I have handled. It is not up to the standard of, say, a Pagani Design at half the price of this watch, but the links are solid, and I have seen this clasp on several more expensive watches. It’s 3cm wide at the watch-end, as with the watch’s design means it has to do the job of lugs rather than sitting between them. The one thing I could not live with on this watch is the “Tachymeter” around the dial. It would be nigh-on impossible to use it on a non-round watch case anyway as the hands would rarely get anywhere near it, but the Swan & Edgar Ambassador is not a chronograph, and so it is purely a decorative feature. BraceletThe narrative at the start of the call, followed by the customer number not being recognised and then a repeat of exceptional requests to lengthen the call that one is being charged for, like spelling your name yet recognising a street name, utterly disgusting.
The watch actually was quite well-balanced on the wrist, despite its heft, but I had a couple of real issues with it. Firstly, the crown is too small and fiddly for my taste, and I did not like the way it sits off-centre vertically on the 16mm case side. Second, the bezel is adorned with some fake screws that I felt made it look really cheap. There are some real screws on the left-hand side of the case that appear to connect to nothing, so I am not sure why Swan & Edgar made this particular design choice – especially when the fake screws do not even line up straight! I was also disappointed at the price that the crystal is made of mineral glass and not sapphire. Dial and Hands
