I like them, I think the C13 and C15 will turn out to be a big winner for CWL. Nearly every young bloke I meet, whether its one of my customers or a kid at the counter at buildbase, (I try and get a look at every bokes watch I meet) wears a squarie. I found alot of the youger kids, i.e under 25, wear squaries, CWL need to market this one right, put some adds in the "thinking girls mags" just in time for xmas, or in under 30's "none thinging blokes mags" and CWL could be on to a real winner.

the c13 doesnt have a black face/rose gold option, surely one of the nicest combinations?

Seems odd, but it won't affect me since it's a quartz. I may go in for the C15RKKR though at some point. I think the rose gold/black combo is great.

It's not you Daz..I noticed it myself. I guess it is just photo lag and will be corrected eventually.

The question is which one is shown? Italian or Swiss (Louisiana) alligator?

Part of the problem here for me is this issue - sort of. I can't see any difference myself on the pictures, but in that case how can you tell if the "upgrade" is worth an extra £100? :? The money is a lot in relation to the cost of the watch itself, so choosing the Alligator is quite an investment.

I agree Flash. The photos should show a definitive difference as well as offer a resaon to upgrade. I trust this will be corrected soon or Louisiana Alligator straps will be a tough sell.

I would nearly always go for porch puppy straps as they are better for the job.

I would rather save 100 for an automatic aviator and at the same time save at least 1% of the beast . . .

Personally I think the straps in those two pictures do look quite different, although as the cheaper one is presumably made to look like the other, a certain amount of similarity is to be expected. Also, I've always presumed the cost difference about quality/feel/durability of materials (and exclusivity), not the general look.
