of course, since only 50 were ever made and they don't come up for sale often, you'll have a much harder time finding the scooter blue.

Oh. I thought it was the blue on the website. Thanks for clearing that up!

Anyone can buy a blue C60 now :wink:, but I have to represent the Red Jag C60, rarest of all colours:

some might thing the difference is subtle. i think the difference *is* that the scooter blue is more subtle. and a bit more classy, because of it.

I've got to be careful what I say here or I'll have a retired Mod complete with fishtail Parka and a two stroke Lambretta turning up on my doorstop, but having had a black bezel 60 and having seen a charcoal bezel in the flesh, I actually think the latter is really very nice indeed. If i were in the market for another 60 it would be on the charcoal. Sorry Scoot!

I was lucky to have see the complete C60/61 displayed together at No.1. The model that stood out for me was the Khaki simply because it was different from other brands and is so versatile, any shade of leather strap, NATO or Zulu seems to work and on a bracelet or mesh the watch looks equally fantastic. IMO the Khaki on a distressed leather strap has a vintage look about it. :D

The orange on bracelet is excellent (I have one :D ). The one I'd rate as THE best is the Scooter blue but it's as rare as hen's teeth/ rocking horse poop (I don't have one :thumbdown: )
