I don't think there are many 36mm dive watches, regardless of manufacturer.

40mm or thereabouts, is ideal for me.

Having seen the C60 Sapphire Edge in the flesh (metal) yesterday at the British Watchmakers Day, I feel that the dial and bezel dominate, and the lugs are too short for the 42mm case width. Looks a bit dinner plate(ish).

Rubber strap is very soft and flexible; almost too much so, and a tadctoo thick at the lugs (or the lugs are too thin).

That's really very attractive.

It's a bit of a shame I kept 3 watches I bought in the sale, as I really can't justify another one for a while (if ever!) :D

Every time I look at this watch I half think the movement looks like a world map. Maybe a worldtimer would look good with this kind of blue sapphire.

This is an interesting watch. I saw a black LE version with a sapphire dial and a blue GMT hand for sale, which piqued my curiosity. I almost bought it before I stumbled over my Sealander. It's a good color combination.

I'll wait for the inevitable smoked black dial or sapphire orange version ...

I like that they ditched the inner non-rotating ring. Other than that, it isn't really for me. It is a nice looking watch though.
