C60, if you could change one thing what would it be...
For me it would have to be the hour hand, I'd much prefer it if it was the same shape as the minute hand.

It nearly put me off buying one. In fact it took me a couple of months to come to terms with itphllox wrote:+1HendrixGreen wrote:For me it would have to be the hour hand, I'd much prefer it if it was the same shape as the minute hand.

Dial colour.
Black is alright, but I'd love a white dial.

Nowt; it's fine as it is with its little idiosyncrasies.
Why else is it (probably) CWL's best seller.

I'd prefer the crystal to be flat with the bezel rather than raised.

yes i would agree with this , the watch is very popular, but I think a ceramic bezel would really set it apartBahnstormer_vRS wrote:Nowt; it's fine as it is with its little idiosyncrasies.

It is indeed. Although a bit stronger lume would not go amiss.tempusmaximus wrote:yes i would agree with this , the watch is very popular, but I think a ceramic bezel would really set it apartBahnstormer_vRS wrote:Nowt; it's fine as it is with its little idiosyncrasies.

Move the date position to 6 o'clock and put it in a little round window exactly as per the W60. (Or Steinhart Ocean Two)
I think it would look much more like the finished article then. I understand exactly why it does align with the 4 o'clock position at the moment but it still just "looks" a bit sloppy.

Re: C60, if you could change one thing what would it be...
i say dont do nothing major to the original design CWL please "i know it makes it C60 Marmite subject perhaps" but it looks to me there is more buyers then not,so that says it all to me on a business level but from a customer level i do love the watch as it is but a few tweeks here and there is welcomed "back exhibition case,ceramic bezel,more COSC,thats sort of thing is what im getting at
but for me it needs some more colour dials then black to come in the future and i have a feeling thats going to happen anyway so the future is bright i think anyway he!he! great news for the mass of C60 Fans and the price
point makes it great for people what like a bit of colour in there life without burning a fortune on watches,
so keep the standard c60s but do try and get some of the above specs for people which dont mind paying more as well
sorry that was more then 1 thing he!he!

Re: C60, if you could change one thing what would it be...
I'd like the date to be a black on white circle at 4:00. I'd like the pip to be white like it was on the FLEs because the green is ugly. I'd like the bezel to be perfect with no alignment issues. That's how it should be currently sold.
For a better, more expensive version in the future, I'd like museum Sapphire crystal, a display back, and better finishing, before anything else.
Please keep the onion hour hand! It is unique.
