Will you have to send it back or will CWL let you keep / buy it?

Thanks!

Unfortunately not. Couldn't have to for too long, had it for about a week.
Darn, so no bargain to be had in "review clearout" in sales corner in a couple of months time :lol:

Great review and very thorough, having watched the whole 15m clip. I was particularly interested as I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these at some point and the dial/strap combo in the review is the exact one I would go for. Some really smart design features and I thought the upper chrono subdial particularly cool housing both a 30 minute and 12 hour chrono hands :thumbup:

C3 Malvern Chronograph Mk III Review

Depending (of course) on the design, I'd probably be in favour of the C3 as an FLE. I have no problem with quartz movements, chronograph or otherwise...

I'm totally in agreement with that but expect the majority won't be. :problem:

I would also be happy with a quartz FLE. Why not?

A quartz chronometer FLE would be great. Base it on the C3, C7 or C70 - there is lots of design potential there.

I'm guessing the quartz route would keep the cost to a more acceptable level too.

Definitely, unless one of the COSC models is used.

The other thing to add with the C3 is that the promo code 50SPRING17 is still valid and will knock £50 off the price...so £300 is a pretty decent bargain in my book. If I can sell something then I might press the button on one of these.

I thought this was thread that pointed to a watch review. If you want to discuss FLE possibilities for this model, please start a separate topic.
