Could it be the larger font size on the Apex's bezel? My C60 Elite has the same-sized font, and I think they would look more contemporary with the Concept bezel's font size.

Fonts aside, I still like the Apex's design language. But unlike the Concept, the Apex appears to wear (too) big.

I think it's the width of the bezel and the font.

I've been a very lucky boy! After just missing out on the last of these I've been offered one as apparently I was first on the reserve list.

I wanted to ask if any owners think the Blue/orange hybrid strap or the metal bracelet is a better option for comfort and fit?

Part of the reason for buying this is as a new watch for my daughters wedding next year which makes me think a metal bracelet would be better, but I'm worried this will make an already 'thick' watch feel even thicker...

That's the way to go. :wink: :wink:

Seriously, I bought mine on the Titanium bracelet. Weight affecting comfort is not an issue, in the way it might be if steel. Plus I'll advocate the flexibility of the links is better than the hybrid.

PS> Declaration. I'm not a fan of the CW hybrid as I find the longitudinal ribs cut into my wrist. Zuludiver Vintage Tropic is the way to go.

Congratulations to Twin4e on getting a Concept. I wear mine on the bracelet. It's very comfortable. I only have an old version of the hybrid strap which wears Ok but does feel thick. The redeisgned ones are supposed to be better but I've not tried them myself.

As an aside, Beckie Murray @CW has been brilliant as the project has been three years in the making.

3 years :shock:

Mine is less than 12 months from start to delivery of watches, and I though that was slow. Why so long?

Good choice getting both. Nice to have the variety :thumbup:

I’ve ordered mine on the bracelet too, but also have the blue/orange hybrid already.

Just got DHL tracking on mine too… very excited… hopefully tomorrow :D
