C3 or Seiko
Re: C3 or Seiko
well that's a question only you can answer, do you like the looks of the C3 a £100's worth more than the Seiko, cos you know the Seiko will be pretty much faultless at its pricepoint!

Re: C3 or Seiko
About the only thing I like better on the Seiko is the hands, so for me, I think the answer is yes.

Re: C3 or Seiko
The 2 layered dial and raised numbers give it a much more expensive look.

Re: C3 or Seiko
, this is all a bit pointless though. Tyke will know his answer as soon as he looks at the watches , you can never persuade someone that one thing looks better than another thing. There is no objective material reason to spend the extra cash, so it's an aesthetic / emotional question.
Re: C3 or Seiko
I like both but for me the seiko is sportier and the C3 is classier so I could make a case for either. I will probably end up with a C3 because it's a 'want' not a need, but if I just needed one it would have been the Seiko
Re: C3 or Seiko
Actually saw that Seiko in Ernest Jones in Chichester yesterday, it's a nice looking watch in the flesh, pity it's a quartz!

Re: C3 or Seiko
For what it's worth, I prefer the layout of the subdials on the C3 and the fact that it looks less busy and crowded than the Seiko - a bit more stylish and elegant if that's what you want.

C3 for me. Used to have one just like the one you have put up and it was very classy, the tan strap looked great.

Re: C3 or Seiko
Maybe one day CWL will make an automatic C30, now that would be nice.
Seiko's make great beaters, was my choice for many years, until I caught the disease.

No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).
