Your pick seems to show the blue strap toning perfectly with the second hand -- is it that good a match close up and in daylight?!
I ordered the blue strap on a whim. I already have a brown strap CWL leather that will fit this, and I just wasn't into the basic black strap and I figured the blue might be a little different when dressed up and I could get away with it with black leather shoes, belt, etc.

I've been asking myself the same question, answer is, I'm not really sure yet because the blue second hand is not an overwhelming feature on the watch and my eyesight isn't that good anymore, but the strap is really blue.

Fantastic combination there Neil; way better than the standard strap. :thumbup: :clap:

I'm getting a, vaguely similar, light coloured strap in the guise of a Golden Brown Hirsh Liberty, plus a mid/dark green perlon with rose gold buckle, for really casual wear.

Thanks. The Ostrich certainly seems to work.

Only Steve, Alibar and nbg seem to have aligned minute and second hands. Have the rest of you no pride?

But I stuck with it, and do you know what?

I AM GLAD THAT I DID! IT'S WONDERFUL! :D

Thank you, CW, Admin team and MAGNUS! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Delighted you stuck with it and you're so pleased with it.

I just had the idea. The photoshop team and the admin guys did the hard work. Without those guys my design wouldn't have got passed my original 'photoshop' attempt

The doorbell just rang: I could see nobody! Then I looked down and saw Brian, a very friendly snail towing a square parcel. He told me he's off to Finland now and hopes to arrive before 2017.

The hands are perfectly sized. The case is indeed slim compared to the regular C5 Malvern and fits me perfectly. The bader clasp is simple to adjust and use, and although the the clasp is a bit thicker than I expected it to be, it is more comfortable and centered better than any butterfly clasp I've worn.

The standard strap length seems good down to 6.25" as I am on the 2nd to last hole and have a 6.5" wrist. The last hole was slightly too tight. Previous CW straps have all been too long and needed 1 or 2 more holes in them to fit. The blue is fairly dark, which seems perfect to me. Very happy overall with it! :thumbup: Thanks Magnus for the design.
