Not sure why, but it just doesn't do it for me.

The C11 altus seems a bit more stylin'.

The next FLE must be based on this watch. Maybe with a satin black case.

I'll place my order now. 21/100 please. :)

If the C700 topic is a preview, when can we expect a release of this beauty.

The C40 starts at £600 the C9 is £800 so I would expect to see it at about £700. So as a FLE it would be way to expensive judging by the comments this years one got.

The watch looks perfect to me - very happy with the design myself. CW please don't change it! :lol:

Congrats, a very well executed design, I particularly like the black sub dial surrounds.

Having a couple of other items in carbon fibre, a pocket knife and fountain pen, I have to say I'm not too
convinced about the visual appearance of carbon fibre as a prestige material.

In this context I'm not sure it carries the design weight of a nicely engraved dial - but plenty here seem to like the appearance
so I seem to be in the minority :)

Perhaps one change, maybe an option to have a plain rubber strap rather than one that carries on the same pattern as the dial - could be slightly over-doing it. Yes, I am nit-picking but that's because this is a great design! :)

Looking forward to seeing the real thing and pictures from the first owners.

On more than one occasion I've referred to CWL watches as being designed for the more mature customer. This one (just might) kick that opinion into touch.
