The more I see of this, the more I like it; compared to the standard C6, it's automatic, has tritium tubes and I prefer the numbered bezel. I'd still like to see this in the standard steel finish as well as the black PVD though.

I would prefer black datewheel with white text or same color on text as the dailcolor, just would look so much better with either of those.

PS.

A real nice feature that I have not seen on a watch so far would be luminova date text, so that date glows in the dark would be a nice touch.

here is my first post on the CW Forum! I am really liking the Kingfisher Elite. Much more so than the standard C6. I like the idea of the automatic movement. I have the SW movement in two other watches and it workell.

Now I just need to know the price and anticipated completion date. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd think it would be 22mm.....as I'm sure it's pretty much the same case as the C6?!!

I thought as much but the case size is quoted as 43mm which won't make any difference to the strap size but a strange case size to have, don't you think?

I would of thought that 42mm or 44mm would of been standard sizes, unless the bezel is wider on the C600 than on the C6?

I've just checked the one I've got and it does say a 7750, but I think it must mistake, why would it have a 7750 when its not a chrono???

Seems like there's a few 'mistakes' recently. Do you think all these new models are probably over-stretching the limited resources?
