Looks like i bought the last strap as it is not showing anymore. It was like this one, but not polished http://www.watch-band-center.com/watchs ... Band-.html

Next batch should be shipped in the next two weeks, but don't hold me to it. :D

First impressions.... Well impressed. It's quite light actually and the yellow hands stick out lovely.
The 12 o clock pointer on the moving bezel is a fraction out. If I line it up perfectly it hasn't clicked in to position. This makes the rest of the markers slightly out.

For me, its the opening of the box reaction that counts. Didn't have that great,wow reaction with the C9 FLE - but upon opening this I was very happy.
It obviously takes a while for the eye to adjust having worn a C600 yellow for 3 years as a daily beater.
The brushed titanium is nice - again very light (as titanium is).

Can other receivers tell me if their triangle marker at the 12 o'clock position lines up perfectly? Mine is a millimeter off.

I have thin wrists but the strap is a much better fitting than that of the old rubber of the C600.

On ipad shows photo upside down - on desktop normally ?!?!?!?!?!?
