The extra red, green circles round the numerals and darker bezel make the C70COSC look better than the normal, in my opinion. Looks good, Kip, and thanks for sharing. Your pictures are getting pretty good now - amazing what some practice does! :wink:

Still won't be owning either in a hurry, mind... :lol:

Must admit I prefer the looks of the COSC version - more subtle IMO... :)

It will be interesting to do a long-term timing test, but first you need to synchronise the two of them. :)

Easy - the little letters in the 6 o'clock subdial that cost about £16 each :)
Nice pair Kip.

Thanks for putting these together, great photos! I have just this evening pulled the trigger on a DBR1 and it is really good to see more photos of this watch. I do like the red detailing on the COSC though. Now to play the waiting game :( ......

This may be a FIRST for CWL but I wonder if it will be the last...

A nice brace of C70s you have there. Made me take the plunge and order a couple of my own (not the COSC version though) but a nice DBR1 and the red one that has something to do with Italy
