Got back from my vacation and this one was waiting for me. Not sure how the watchmaker and QC let this one go through..

Sending it back to the UK, waiting for new stock to arrive and shipping to the USA will probably take more than a month for a replacement. :thumbdown:

What problems are you having with the watch?

I see it now on close examination.
I get to see my new bronze on the 16th when I get back from vacation.......I wonder if mine will be off the mark as well.
Cheers, Mike.

Aliexpress. Not even 10 euros. Search for blue nylon 22mm. Was here in 2 weeks.

Looks like the hours hand is out of sync with the minutes hand (on the right).

Is it possible that this is as a result of it being dropped, or similar, whilst I in transit?

Just a thought.

It doesn't seem like misalignment of the hands can happen because of an external shock. Unless one of the hands wasn't secured properly on the movement.

First impressions of the bronze C60 are positive and I may even get over the logo issue. The leather strap is also pretty nice and comfortable. I also got the blue webbing strap. Availability for the the bronze currently shows end of December so probably won't get a replacement until middle of January.

I just received an email about a replacement strap order. :?

BRONZE-WEB-REPLACEMENT STRAP - £0.00

I didn't examine mine closely but it did not appear to have the same fraying issues like the straps on the blue LE (which I returned).

^ I guess they complained and got a replacement for the whole batch so if you got lucky with yours (sounds like you bought a strap as well as the returned watch) you now get doubly lucky.

If you didn't buy a separate strap it's another system glitch...

I like the warm glow of the bezel. It actually would be nice if it stays like this, even though the aging and patina will be quite interesting as well.

That sucks. It looks pretty nice on your wrist. Now I want one! :D

Really wish this came in a 40-42mm range. at 43mm with over 50mm lug length it is way more watch than many wrists should wear IMO.
The oris version is the one I admire the most but hard to come by.

Spent some time at 1 Park Street today. As ever, Declan does an outstanding job telling the CW story and giving you the opportunity to "Look & Feel" any watch you like. A very knowledgeable and extremely friendly ambassador.

Saw the C60 Bronze for the 1st time. I must say that I was positively surprised. The blue and bronze combination really works well.

Declan showed the new case and how it can look based on some "artificial use and ageing" by putting the case in a sulpher bath. See the photo. Understand that you should be able to polish it back to his original state again.

It is a very good looking watch. I do think the style makes it a watch with a very distinct personality - you can't wear anytime with anything (like a black Trident).

Understand a 38mm version is in the planning for January!Image
