Since the seconds and minute hand are not hard-linked, this would still be a possible position, right? Usually I try to be as accurate as possible when setting a watch, but when I'm in a hurry I might not pay too much attention to the exact position of the minute and seconds hand and end up with something like seen in the picture.
Now, if you were talking about the minute and hour hand, you might have a point...
Once set the second and minute hand are "hard linked" in a quality movement. There should be no variation over an extended period/until the time is reset.

Of course, once set they are linked. The point I tried to make was that you actually have to make something of an effort during setting a watch to get the seconds and minute hand correctly synced. This is actually something I tend to get a bit OCD over. I sometimes keep resetting my watch, only because the minute hand is just a tiny bit off the mark when the seconds hand hits 60.

I'd love to see it with a proper date wheel and a matching bracelet (i.e. not giving it the same one as every other model that neither fits nor matches). Seems like the neglected step child of the range, which made sense when I thought they were killing it off but now it seems they're dragging it along even more half-assed.

The C20 Lido Black looks really nice.

Any chance that this watch will go into production?

Looks good. I think it would look nicer without the day/date complication.

They've been discontinued in favour of the C65.
They started as a C2 quartz then the C2/20 FLE and finally C20.
They come up on eBay from time to time.

Black was only a Quartz c2 and not many of them were made as I recall.
