Not sure about the USA, Jon, but I got mine today and as you see above people have already received their watches.

Re: C5 Malvern Slimline
Is it too soon to ask for your initial opinion, Steve.
The slimline is the only CW I would consider and I am more than interested to know what you think of it.

Re: C5 Malvern Slimline
It really isn't blue, or at least not that blue! I put a blue strap on it to see if it brought the blue out of it, but I can't say it did.
If I had to choose one colour to describe it I would say grey - most of the day it has been closer to that than anything - but as the sun went in it has drifted towards anthracite, if it was made of cobolt.
I think the actually colour can only be called "complicated"

C5-SLM-SBK, which as a product number suggests black to me, but the website clearly says blue. Photos on it look more black than blue thoughsproughton wrote:You sure you didn't order the charcoal?!Cirrus wrote:It really isn't blue, or at least not that blue!

I read that as a blue product code. S for silver/steel case, B for blue dial, K for black strap.Cirrus wrote:C5-SLM-SBK, which as a product number suggests black to me, but the website clearly says blue. Photos on it look more black than blue though

Whatever the official designation is, and however the site photos look, I think you have to see it in the flesh to understand the colour. Certainly I can't describe it properly
