Yup it is all personal opinion and also depends on wrist size. On my 7" wrist the C9 looks daft IMO, because the face makes up the full 43mm, now a 43mm Bremont with a bezel etc looks fine, as does my 42mm c60. I do just think it is strange that CW would make their main dress watch 43mm. Especially when successful brands like the ones you've mentioned rarely get their sports watches over 42mm.ept55 wrote:In conventional terms you are correct but when the convention was started all wrist watches were on the small side. Nowadays to wear oversized stainless steel bracelet watches (Rolex and Omega to name two I blame the bond movies) in formal dress watch settings ie Black tie events seems to be acceptable, I've never heard of or seen anybody refused entrance to a black tie event because they were wearing an oversized tool watch. So my point being are we being a bit pedantic about the size of a perceived style of watch.watchstudent wrote:All very good but the C9 is still too big for a dress watch!!
On the whole though this is a ambitious and good move by CW. I like it. And for those moaning about the price, I am sure they will continue with bought in movements, no way CW could compete with the likes of Tag if £1500 was a normal price for them.
