Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
Confusing colours given the teaser but both very nice.
Butterfly clasp on the new bracelet though, so no micro adjust I assume.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
The Dragonfly Blue GMT is very nice. It can’t dislodge my black one though. Not a pink kitty in sight.
If the bracelet is anything like the C12, it will be very nice to wear.

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I think the CW listings seem to be disappointingly slim on some relatively important details.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
Same Butterfly deployant as on The Twelve, I presume.
It may not be micro-adjustable but ought to be smooth and slim.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
Both of these look great! Definitely not the colors I expected from the teaser though...
The bracelet looks beautiful, but I do love the microadjust on my C63 GMT and Bel Canto. Losing that in favor of a butterfly clasp is certainly a trade off that might put off some people - it's my one gripe with my Twelve Ti.
I expect these to sell really well for them!

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
No interest in the two watches, but will likely end up with a couple of the new bracelets.
The mix of brushed and polished is far better than the original idea of all polished.
Information on whether 1/2, or 2/3 links are available?

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
Both the colors and the bracelet are doing nothing for me. I was hoping for a true jubilee style bracelet. This bracelet seems a bit to fancy and flashy for the Sealander, at least to me. It’s a pass for now. Maybe I’ll change my mind after a few real world photos show up?

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
Doesn't look like it from here:

The links might be narrow enough that it doesn't matter. I'll let you know.
I went ahead and got one. My man math said with two C63 Sealanders in the collection I can split the cost between the two bringing the bracelet cost down to pre-pandemic prices



I also looked at the pic I posted in this thread and thought what the heck.
I also like this much better than the thought of a fully polished version. I also like the differentiation having only the outer most inner links polished leaving a brushed center line.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
It is tough to tell for certain. I do think the wrist images look better than the ones straight on.jkbarnes wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 3:42 pm Both the colors and the bracelet are doing nothing for me.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
I like the design or the bracelet and the polishing but the butterfly clasp a real no no for me. Lack of micro adjustment means wearing too loose or too tight for me.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
I thought you said pink and powder blue?
I think the bracelet is a great new addition. Agree that part-polished is the way to go. I’m done (personally) with blue, and teal, and turquoise and I think it was an opportunity missed to go for another crazy colour like the mulberry which I love.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
I like the GMT the best probably. But this looks really good with the new bracelet.

Re: C63 Sealander - new colours
If I hadn’t gotten my red watch in the last month, I would probably have picked up the mulberry.
Looks good, glad it’s not an LE. I’m a fan.
