I guess the simplicity of the face and case nailed it for me. In the same week I had looked at Bremont Victory and the contrast could not be more for me. I have no doubt that the Victory is superb but in my eyes it is too fussy, unlike the C900 which I 'get'. I appreciate your post and sometimes I like being in the minority. Thanks for complement re my photo, its a snap taken with my iPhone with the watch resting on the roof of my car. I'm a total amateur when it comes to photography and watches.

For an amateur snap taken with an iPhone that is an amazing picture.

Well done :clap:

Is anyone going to try and put this on mesh or bracelet? The only reason I'm asking is because of my attempt to see more pictures of this gorgeous watch.

I will endeavour to do that and once done I will publish some more photographs.

I think that's the first time we've seen a C900 on a bracelet. Thanks very much for posting the shots. It looks pretty good, although I still think this watch looks best on the brown croc strap.

Indeed, I bought the C900 with the brown croc but I also invested in a black leather strap to please my wife.

I agree... it does not look bad, but this watch for me is still a strap watch.

Lovely looking watch, but what is the point of a single pusher? Is it functional or decorative or both?

The point of the single pusher Is to have the chronograph function with the clean look of a standard watch bearing no other external buttons/pushers. The start-stop-reset functions as well as time adjustment and winding can all be controlled with essentially a single crown. While the pusher is contained within the crown it appears as a single piece.

The true artistry in a single pusher is how the functions are controlled and operate within the movement itself. This makes for a very complex movement construction.

Thanks for posting more pics!! Definitely agree the leather looks best, but its hard to not make this watch look gorgeous. How does the 43 wear as a dress watch? Not too bulky? Damnit, I just need to man up and buy one.

I wore my C900 with the brown croc strap yesterday under a double cuff shirt and a suit jacket, it felt very comfortable and not at all bulky. I have no regrets buying this watch, indeed the C900 is special.

Great pics Berkshire! It's great to see the watch on a few straps too. My mother in law asked me last week why I go to the bother of changing straps,"what's the point" she said. I answered "Well every time you change your earrings it make your ears looks different and you feel different about how you look". She got it! First time I have said something she agreed with!
