I bet it’ll wear just fine. Titanium, light catcher case, etc

The Beast is a massive 17.1 mm and 43 mm diameter and wears perfectly fine - and it’s steel!

Love it!

I keep looking at it. The more I do, the more I like the Zelos Mirage 2 or Oris Propilot X. The Oris did have a huge miss though not luming the power reserve.

Just looked at the Zelos and it doesn't do it for me.

The Big Blue is becoming properly old school. Lovely thing.

My Girlfriend/Partner's birth year.

I was discussing it with her this morning and she told me I am a 'complete softie'.

Guilty, as charged, m' lord.

That's why I love all these brands like CW and Zelos being around. Doing cool stuff that gives us options at pretty decent prices for what they pack.

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

Exactly....I think they are a little aggressive and over reaching on the price of this watch. I think it's really nice, but I wouldn't pay GS, Tudor, or Omega pricing on this...I would just get one of those 3.

2k to 2.5k....mehbe?

The normal CW pricing model is cost x3. Mike France has said that this watch does not follow that ideal. Due to the amount of hand finishing the cost model is Cost x 2.X. It is not an inexpensive watch and it's not sold at a bargain price. Sometimes you get what you pay for. The Apex watches weren't cheap either. Sometimes you just can't make a watch at a lower price.

I saw the Oris ProPilot X again recently. It's a nice watch but (on the Oris website) it's $7,600 US. It could be made by anyone, it has no brand identity. The only reason you know it's an Oris is because it says so on the dial. The Concept is a Christopher Ward and doesn't even need to say so on the dial.

It is indeed a nice looking watch, but I still much prefer the C60 Concept, and I know it's a CW, so doesn't need the name... I do wonder whether this is a subtle pointer to where the brand is heading regarding naming/logos on the dial... but that's another whole can of worms for another time

Massive credit to CW for making this watch - innovative, 'disruptive', and a bold statement. For the work involved it is a fair price also, and I hope they fly off the shelves.

However, one will not be landing on my door mat for the simple reason that skeleton does nothing for me.

I completely agree! Great achievement, just not for me.

I've noticed that a few people are making comparisons to other brands including Zenith et al and saying that the CW is too expensive.
Well, let's put this into perspective shall we...
The movement to this watch is not only skeletonised and customised but more importantly has been hand finished - this is a VERY expensive process!
A comparable hand finished watch (never mind it being titanium case) is going to cost you well in excess of £20K+.
It may not be to everyone's taste, but there's no denying that this is and exceptional watch and offers great value for money.

Not fair comparison. Now the Concept looks too much cheap.
