I like the look of this one too. I'm also not the biggest "current" logo supporter, but I think this model might be one of the ones that looks better with it.

I was never a great fan of the C2/20 but I must say this is nice :)

This one will sell well!

Not to me (because of the logo), but otherwise, I'd definitely have one. :)

Handsome indeed, but black dial/steel case combos don't work for me personally.

I much prefer a white face on a non sports watch to be honest.

That looks great. I am not near my C20 so can't check but I am sure the crown on the new one looks different.

I think the crown is the same, but the rehaut seems more pronounced. Could just be the effect of color though.

Sorry, but it has my pet hate - a white day/date on a black face :thumbdown:

I know it's been turned down before on the grounds of cost (whith variable coloured faces in the same model), but this one is crying out for white numerals on a black background in the date window.
