Double index at 12 o'clock

Post by magicman »

Does any one else like the idea of a double index at the 12 position? like the C5,C6 and C15. I think it would look very nice. :D
And i dont mind Paying a couple of quid more for the extra material used.
Your thoughts please Chaps and Chapesses

I'm in two minds about it to be honest!

Here is a quick mock up I just did (no hand colour because I think I read on the voting thread that they would be a different blue, so I've just left them 'as is'), and I don't know whether it looks too fussy/dated?

I think on a bigger watch it might work, but I think also it depends what text, if any, is put into the lower face space...

Seems to me that the 'essence' of the C2 is its' simplicity...

On this basis, I say stick to a single index :D

By the way, What is the timescale of the C2LE ?? Does anyone know? (I have the itch to buy a white-face watch....)

I think it should be the CW logo at 12 o'clock instead ;)

I agree this is to be a C2 LE and with a redesigned watch face it would no longer be a C2.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Nice one Tooks, i am really liking that, But looks like most would prefer single index at present.And as that is the original design i dont expect it to change.
Not sure about CW logo ?
Thanks again Steve

Well done Tooks - I think looks good

As an aside to alphajet's comment:

I was prone to agree but then I thought that the Forum C2 LE is not strictly a C2 but rather a limited edition. Think the double marker is almost like a Mk II flash.

But would be happy either way. Any news on when it might be offered?
