Re: C60 Blue or charcoal bezel

Post by Dust »

My charcoal arrived just this week. One word of warning when looking at the pics both on the official website as well as in this thread, is that in reality the charcoal is actually a grey blue - not simply a dark grey. There is a post somewhere where someone collected links to all the charcoal pictures, and indeed in the best/better ones you can also observe this.

Not a problem for me as I like blue, but be warned. It also makes me feel like perhaps the watch will look better on a black strap, so that you get the same color as the dial (which is still black) and then the charcoal as a nice contrast in between. However that might also be due to my dislike of the polished center of the bracelet I have it on. Will probably buy a CW rubber or black leather strap to test my theory, further down the line.

As to the blue, I really cannot imagine wearing that on a daily basis. It is just much too flashy, from all the shots I have seen.
