Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
Wow. Just wow. Very impressive design. Love the crown and push button. I like the bezel too but the images make it a little difficult to know what to expect. This one should sell well.
Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
Well I was close with my prediction of the new name!!! http://www.christopherwardforum.com/vie ... =30#p25201
Nice to see it's automatic and watching tritium go round at night is quite nice Although it does stop you from going to sleep!

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
This is right up my street, I am no diver, dont even get wet much and this watch is a very proper divers but I will have to do a lot more saving up.This could be the most expensive year yet.

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
Really like the look of this. I'm not a diver either but I've really bonded with my orange faced C6 and can see myself adding the blue or black faced C600. Good work!

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
I really like the dial choices here. Of course my natural instinct is to go with the yellow, but the green markers on the black dial are smashing, and there is something about that blue. Can't quite put my finger on it. It doesn't look like the normal blue dialed C6. It's deeper than that. In the way that the new C60 is burnt orange, this almost seems like burnt blue. I would have a tough time choosing.

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
This looks really interesting and could well be my preferred option for a CW purchase. The black PVD looks good but, I have to say, I would very much like to see a plain brushed stainless steel / bracelet option too.
If this watch was available in brushed steel, I'd buy a blue-faced model without a second's hesitation.

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
This is by far the best of the Sneak Preview bunch. I really like the look of this.
In the crowded Diver market, this looks a little bit different without trying too hard to look 'different'.
Interesting to see how these are priced. I'd definitely consider adding one of these to my shopping list.

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
Here's a question...
I notice the movement is a SW200 which is basically a 'clone; of the ETA 2842...(did Sellita add a jewel??)..but,i have read somehwere that there have been reported issues with the first generation of the SW200. I think,if memory serves,that these problems included the power reserve and winding. The 'replacement' movement ,the SW200-1 ,was released ,i believe, in order to rectify these issues.
So,the question is, which SW200 mvt is in the C600?...the first or second gen?

Re: C600 H3 Kingfisher Diver Elite
I like!
But please, please Mr Ward make sure the strap has a proper Diver's extension for fitting over at least a 5mm wet suit.
Otherwise another wasted opportunity for a usable dive watch
