Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Already have a JH MkII with gold bezel, so I will pass. It is extremely nice though!

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Personally, I prefer the rose gold bezel more than yellow gold. Kip, are you getting one this time?

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
I already have the C9 SP and C9 JH MKII with the rose gold bezels. I am more than satisfied with these.

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
The monopusher is superb!
It answers my one complaint with that model - being legibility of the hour and minute hands.
Unfortunately it's a bit expensive.
But a big thumbs up from me.

Shame they are only being done in the 43mm case.

They are lovely for sure, but the extra cost is about £800 in the case of the JH, 5-day and BDD, effectively more than doubling the price of the last of these. Interestingly, in the case of the SP it is only £670.
So I don't think I would be tempted if they were introduced in the 40mm size. Two years ago I bought a complete 18ct vintage Longines for less than the cost of that bezel. I think my gold will stay in the vintage box until I get rich!
Yes, I know gold is expensive. I await verbal crucifixion.

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Like Aifo, I prefer rose gold to yellow gold.

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
I wouldn't buy one - it was more the concept that if you are going to stick a bit of gold on a watch, it would probably be better on a dress watch size case than the 43mm dinner plate.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Yes...and no.nbg wrote:Shame they are only being done in the 43mm case.

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
I like the JH edition, if only it was 40mm. I also like this gold better than the rose. Exquisite watches though.

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Perfectly OK if you like that sort of thing, and at that price I would easily find something that I found more appealing. Not that I would ever spend that much on a watch of course. Maybe on a Hi Fi but not on a watch!
Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Really like them.... Wish I had the money to get one... Will be starting collections soon

Re: New C9 Gold Bezel Limited Editions
Fantastic new C9's ............ I have a wonderful C5 Malvern (Gold/Black Alligator), only a C9 MkII Jumping Hour with the yellow gold bezel would make me switch.......... Thank God they didn't do a MKII, Not fond of MKIII.... Good Job CHR Ward.......

No black dial yet for these 2 I am afraid, unless there was a prototype, purely my own speculations of course.ndabunka wrote:Were either of the rose gold C9's available with a black face?
