I think the Automatic is the obvious choice for more variations and sizes. It's an obvious OP competitor, so 36mm and some colour would make the most sense for the auto. The GMT is a bit more niche, despite being the day 1 sales leader. I suspect that once the new models reach the mass market more the auto will take over driving sales. I can't see a 36mm GMT (you never know), but a blue doesn't sound out of the question.

Very good to hear this Kip, always good to get 'on the ground' feedback.
Quite temped myself by the C63 GMT.

I'm late to party, but want to add that I really like models in this launch. :) Can I still get some of the gluten-free cake. Also, I wish Reeses would make their peanutbutter cups with sunflower butter because I'm allergic to peanuts.

That said I think the automatic and GMT are great options at their price points. The Ti Elite offers a lot of features and probably could have been priced higher.

No. They are different cases, albeit both LightcatcherImage, and there is the small but important difference in case size.

You may possibly be able to attach them together, but it won't be a perfect fit.

The C63 Auto has a flat crystal.

Congratulations are in order to CW for the sales record.

I think the Sealander collection is brilliant and it has been quite a while since a CW release has piqued my interest this much. The last one was the original C60 Trident Bronze 43mm back in 2017, which I still have.

I am very interested in the GMTs with bracelet and possibly a spare Black Orange Hybrid Rubber strap.

Now, will it be the white or black GMT, not sure yet, but we will see. :thumbup:

Cheers, Mike.

I have had a series of white dial watches going almost back to the start of my time on the forum:

First up was a Seiko SARB 035. Lovely, very comfortable watch, but I didn't get on with the dial colour - kind of yellowy cream. Also, the dauphine hands - much as I love them - made the SARB dressier than I was looking for.

Next up was the CW C60 Trident 600 GMT white dial. This watch felt too thick and chunky for me, the bracelet felt heavy, and I realised that I'm not best keen on dive watches anyway.

Next came the Elliot Brown Kimmeridge. Again, a bit on the chunky side. Lugs and end links very prominent. Quartz.

Finally I found the white dial Hamilton Khaki. This one didn't come on a bracelet, and I realised that a bracelet was part of the package I'm looking for.

So my excitement about the arrival of my white dial Sealander was to see if it answered any or all of the questions I've been asking of a watch all these years. My initial thoughts on first putting the watch on - automatic movement; clear and legible dial with sporty handset; perfect size for me (has the wrist presence I like without being too big or too heavy or too tall); super comfortable bracelet; light-catcher case, which I think is just the dog's b****x.

So - watches need worn over weeks and months to establish what the relationship is going to be like - but I'm so excited about wearing this watch over the coming weeks and months! Will report back later as to how I'm getting on.

Will add a few pics shortly :D

Great pictures, although I must say that looking at mine, pictures don’t do the dial justice. I’m not saying it’s on a par with GS dials, however the crispness and clarity of the font and the way the light catches the indices is excellent on the white dial C63.

I’m keen to see some pictures of the white dial auto with the hybrid or tide strap (unless these ones are pre-order only) as think these will look and wear slightly smaller IMO

Great pictures. My search for a white dial watch is over now. However, I may have to wait quite a while to purchase one.
