I must admit, I think it is bloody awesome! Was looking at something else, but may reconsider now!

I really like the running seconds also. However, I'll stick with just one C8 for now (my power reserve). Two 44m watches is a lot of watch. :)

That's a real beauty! I just worry about 44mm on my tiny wrist.

It's only available in black which will help. I have also have small wrists but find I can get away with a 44mm especially if it's black.

Been thinking about the specifications of the C8 P2725 Automatic and a couple of points have piqued my interest:-

1. It is, as we know, a C8 whereas the P2725 LE had the bulkier C9 case (smaller at 43mm but taller). This of course means that it is effectively a C8 Flyer with a different dial and, conveniently, at the same price, but

2. It has (higher spec) museum grade AR, much in the manner of the C11 MSL, which otherwise is only, currently, in the C9 Me 109 SPC.

Many of the C1 range have 'museum grade' crystals front and rear.
It may well be all of them.

I stand corrected.

Although, I should have been more specific and put 'within the Aviator range' as that is what I meant; as opposed to all CWL watches.
