#5 and #4s appeal most to me. :)

Sorry for resurrecting a dormant thread, but I'm new here.

I have a weakness for full stainless bezels, so these two would do it for me . . .

Number 1S for me.. as much as i like PVD, and nearly bought a PVD C4, looks wise, the stainless does it for me.. i'd love to see what that would look like on a Nato strap...

2S or 7S would do me nicely!

Could we have a decent rubber strap though, something soft with a deployment clasp, rather than that Seiko wannabe waffle version please?

That and a decent chunky SS bracelet would have me reaching for the buy button!

Good job on the mock ups too. :)

Maybe I'm too simple-minded but I feel C600 only in black.
Nevertheless some little touch looks nice, I mean:

#4 Chrome inner ring

and first of all:

#5 Chrome numbers

I'd like to see this alternatives at blue and yellow C600 :)

This leads me to think that all this bezel talk is really for aesthetic reasons and not really about usability in my mind


I think a lot of people who actually use the bezel count the number of clicks while turning it, rather than shine their torches on it. I'm not a diver, but I do use the bezel to time, and at night, I just count clicks on a 120-click bezel.

When are you somewhere so dark with absolutely no source of light that you can't see the bezel at all and need to count the clicks, a photographic dark room? :shock:

As a diver, I have never come across any diver who counts the bezel clicks rather than just shine their dive torch onto their watch or just use the light function on their dive computer. This is much quicker, easier and safer than counting clicks especially if you are wearing gloves. But each to their own and I am sure there are some divers out there who do that!

LOL--I work graveyard shift and do a lot of driving at night. Without any recent direct light source shining on my watch, the Luminova bezel's marker doesn't light up at all. I suppose I could carry a torch in my car, but turning it on would ruin my night vision.

Of course, my needs are far different than the target market of the C600. For one, I am merely timing my driving and stops--in the interest of seeing how long I took. So I just need to start with the bezel at 12 o' clock and turn it to match the minute hand. That can be done without looking at the bezel marker. Divers, on the other hand, set the time to a maximum dive time and then need to consult the minute hand AND the bezel to see how much longer they have. My situation isn't life or death--theirs is.
