C600 Black Dial alternate photos

Post by Kip »

During recent discussions At CWL some options were brought up regarding the C600. They are interested in the forum members feedback regarding the following subtle changes/options.

Please give your opinions and views. Note that with the exception of the SS case that all changes are to the bezel.

Chris is listening!

Thanks to Fraser for providing the mock ups.

The second group of pictures is a silver cased version with similar options



This is the current C600 IPK

Very nice changes. I do rather like #1S but prefer #2S...

I wonder what silver numbers, but 15, 30 and 45 being in black would look like? Or the 5, 10 and 15 markers in black, the rest in silver?

I think there are definitely a few people who are keen to buy a s/steel case as opposed to an IPK/PVD one... Although I think that'd screw up the "tritech" thing (one of the "tri" being the IPK...)

edit: I'm still not interested either way until they offer an alternative to the rubber strap.

The look I like best is S4 and S5.

As the owner of a yellow C600, the one thing I would lke to see is a propper divers steel bracelet, S4 and S5 would look good with either a full steel or mixed steel/PDV.

If you need ideas for a good bracelet look at the Boscett Cave Dweller 2, it is supurb with rachet divers extension.

I know these are only minor changes to the case and bezel, but one thing that would be better on the C600 is an extra tube at the 12 o'clock position.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Important thing is that on most of the changes you can now actually read the numbers on the bezel which is of some importance if you are diving.

I assume these mods would apply to all colours of the C600?

If so, a blue 2S on a steel bracelet for me. :)

Well the title says black dial, so who knows? Be nice if the mods were to all of them though!

That's what made me wonder, but IMHO it wouldn't make sense to only make the mods to the black-faced version.. :?

Can't offer any help regarding the other models guys. My guess is that the black dial just happened to be the used for the mock ups.

They are just looking for opinions on the possible looks both pro and con.

Liking the overall idea of toning back on the amount of black, but I think I'd like to see the 4S / 5S with a black bezel:
