C65 Dune in blue

Post by ruta7 »

I'm one step away from buying my first CW watch. I am in love with the new Dune collection, I missed the sand white, the next delivery is in May. I want to please myself faster. Maybe someone can show what the blue version looks like in real life? preferably on a bracelet. i have searched all the forums, reddit, youtube. I haven't found any pictures or videos of what he looks like outside of promotional material.
thank you all!
have a nice day!

Welcome to the forum / asylum. :wave:

I'm not sure about the bronze bracelet myself. I am not sure whether I would like my green C60 bronze, now with a pleasant matte finish on a similar matte bracelet - but you never really know until you try.

does the bronze version have the same dial as the regular version? the sand white version does not look so yellow (lume points).

^^^^ The Blue dial version, Steel & Bronze, looks pretty much the same all round to me;- C65 Dune - Blue dial.

That led to 13 years of misery and a divorce for me. Waiting ‘til May for the White Sand isn’t that long to wait.

If the white sand was your first preference, I would not settle for another color if I were you. There really is lot of truth to the statement that “some things are worth waiting for!”

Yes, you guys are right. I'll wait for white sand.
Meanwhile, today I wanted to order my Sealander C63 36mm bracelet (I regret not choosing it right away), but I saw that the nearest delivery would be in June only. Can anyone confirm whether the Sealander 39mm bracelet is identical to the 36mm version? im always late, i guess

They are not the same, then they would say so. Its slightly different because the case is smaller so the circle bend is different.
Case size difference == endlink difference.
