C7 rapide with red face

Post by RMA »

Purchased the C7 Rapide back in January as a belated Christmas present to myself and would just like to say how happy I am with the purchase. The red face is very eye catching and distinctive but without being loud and garish. The case is slim and sits comfortably under my shirt cuff. That said my only gripe is that the buckle release is a little fiddly and prone to opening up all by itself when you catch it on something such as a shirt cuff.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome and I will see about getting pictures of the C7 and hopefully my next purchase once it arrives. A secondhand C600 Tritech ( yellow face ) bye for now.
