Well done. :thumbup:

I, personally, am sorry to see the charcoal dial going away.

So are the chrono hands still mis-aligned after resetting the watch?

The resetting normally sorts that out.

Thanks Kip.

I agree. It's a stunning colour. Feel very happy/lucky to have a C3 and C5 Slimline with the charcoal dial.

The large chrono hand is off to the left of the marker at the 12 . Tried all the setting procedure and still the same.

Received mine today. Originally wanted the blue dial but it would of been rude to turn this down at half price.

A really wonderful watch for silly money at £125. Fantastic quality and detail. One of the loveliest dials I've :thumbup: seen on any watch.

Is this the end of CW producing watches with the charcoal dial?

That's a shame. I always thought the charcoal face was a winner.

I wonder if CW are going to replace the charcoal for a true black instead perhaps ?
