A good review of a very unique watch. Better still that it’s not from one of the annoying types doing the watch review rounds. Liked his style a lot actually.

Better still, he's reviewing the actual watch rather than the promotional stills!

While it is obvious that Josh likes this watch, the review is full of factual information as well as opinions.

A well presented review with exceptional video and photos. :thumbup:

I find Josh always does good, factual reviews, whether he likes the watch or not. Another good one from him this time

Just be careful what you say about how he reviews the bezel movement! :lol:

This review by WIAA/Josh is quite well done and spot on. I’m still agog over this Concept. I’m not sure how many more superlatives I can muster.

I wasn't initially very enamored with the C60 Concept, but after seeing that video and the macro shots it looks absolutely awesome!

It's a superlative chronometer for sure...

I'll get my coat and leave... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great review and love the fact that he's reminded everyone to stop comparing it only to watches at or around the same price... I care less that it's the same price as a BB58 or a SeaMaster and more that it's dramatically different, well made, well finished and unique :thumbup:

I thought that was the highlight of the review, the need to compare the C60 Concept to the right watches to understand why it’s such a big deal. I was more impressed by the watch after watching the review because of that very point. This watch is an extraordinary accomplishment.

I’d like to think (hope?) this will be a defining moment for CW, as in this watch marks the beginning of a new era for CW.

I'm right there with you, Andrew. Appropriate context makes a big difference. The watch is still not aesthetically for me, but I definitely appreciate it all the more as an accomplishment for CW.

Arrived this morning as I had to wait for the Titanium bracelet, which I need to size before wearing it, but I'll just leave this quick pic here.

Not much I can say about it, other than I'm blown away. Stunning.

First real world photo of this on the bracelet, thanks Guy :clap:

I presume it wears very much like the C60 Elite 1000 GMT ?

This makes the wait for mine over the new few weeks, both easier and harder :lol:
