I think it may also appeal to a few folk that aren’t die hard CW fans.

It may appeal to some that have a number of high quality watches in their collection and want something different.

The test will be what does it look and feel like up close and when examined under a loupe. I.e. does the fit and finish hold up to scrutiny.

If it does I think there are people that, whilst they may own more illustrious brands, would go for one of these in preference to what they may view as tat at a similar price from many other brands.

Have a look at the previous Loupe code, adjust it very slightly and I would guess it "might" just work already :lol:

I had a separate payment link too.

When I checked the price, the £100 voucher had been applied.

Guy
Well I missed out there as I paid the full £3,725. Not to worry. I'm pretty confident it will be worth it! Which serial number did you reserve?
C60 Concept #011 / XII X Steel #011 / Bel Canto 'Phoenix' / XII 'Vulcan' / XII 'Jade Dragon'
C60 Elite 1000 Black / C60 Mk 2 Black

I think Watchpro needs an editor. This is one of the worst sentences I've ever read:

"The detail of each movement, seen from the front and back of the watch, took six hours and was consulted overseen by Armin Strom to the level seen by artisan independents such as Czapek and MB&F, Christopher Ward says."

Huh?

The C60 concept looks nice since I like skeleton watches as I'm an engineer.....would've preferred hour markers on the insert vs minutes, but 15.85mm height...for a three handed movement (with no complications)......sorry too thick for something that is going to set me back $4,300......

to put it in perspective.....this watch is thicker than Tudor's GMT.....and the C60 costs more.....

Guy
Likewise, my pre-order payment link already had the voucher applied too :thumbup:

I still have to wait until early December though, as my serial number (My birth year 66) is in that batch... I'm happy to wait for such a special watch though, although it will be heard seeing them out in the wild before then :lol:

That's a lovely thing to do :D

My partner and I got engaged on holiday a few weeks back and she got a lovely engagement ring of course, so she actively encouraged me to get myself something special as an engagement present to myself.... so the C60 Concept was perfect timing... a totally guilt free watch purchase :lol:

To be fair, she's lovely and never once had an issue with me buying any of them... she has horses, I have watches... it works well :D
