Picked up from an earlier thread the C11 (non Makaira) are now not listed on CWL site (come up if search for c11) so speculate discontinued (iirc they don't remove if just out if stock). If you're not tuned into CWL and just browse the site then it's effectively not for sale. So I'd keep dreaming/queuing.
Thank you. I should have clarified - I meant the C11 Makaira. I sold mine because it just felt too big for me.

Square watches seem to have a tendency to wear big, if they bring out a Makaira 40mm or less I would order one pronto.

Until then, the C60 is getting worn every day :)

Sometimes I think my Makaira looks big but I am just glad my wrist can handle it. We should be grateful it isn't around 45mm which all these new square divers are nowadays! :shock:

This is a really useful thread. It has convinced me that I should be shooting for the 38mm of the two (although, as with others, I think 40 would have been perfect). The 42mm looks huge when sat next to the 38mm (@Kip's photos). Amazing what a difference a few millis makes. Just a shame that you can't get the COSC version but that is covered in other threads so not one to raise here.

Cheers all.

Nice watch... the size looks fine. I have a MkI GMT and I have to say the MkII looks way better with the ceramic bezel and the new GMT hand. Although my Mk1 is 42mm, in general I prefer traditionally sized watches. I have 7.5" wrists and am wearing at the moment a Seiko SARB033 which is 38mm and to my eyes looks a perfect size.

Does anyone know if the leather straps on the c60 are waterproof?

CWL leather straps are not water resistant.
