IMHO it would look so much better if the logo was a little more 'discreet'.

Does it really need to be visible from space? On a dress watch....

I have to disagree. Your version makes the logo look way too small. Lost in fact. IMHO of course. :)

Just noticed that the email and the website say this new version has a 22mm strap. The C9 has always had a 20mm strap up till now - in all its variants. I assume this is right (as it's in both places) and not a mistake.

Whilst I don't mind the new logo at all I can kind of see your point, Downer, about the size. I do however think you may have gone too small with your version. Somewhere between the 2 would be perfect IMHO.

Still, that aside I wouldn't let it put me off buying one. It's on the wish list.

I think the white face will look really sharp. After seeing the C90 becketts this should be great. :D

I like it. A lot. It looks very classy and the gold against the blue second hand looks great. I won't mention the logo.

I think my preference probably exists somewhere in the happy middle between the two.

This is my favourite of all the new releases. Very bold, yet really elegant. Really like, but yeah the logo could be a fraction smaller.

I agree, I probably went a bit too far with the shrinking logo. Anti-exaggerating to make the point. 8)
