I agree, I also think it's too plain for me. And personally, I like a bit more heft in my watches.

Don't compare the backs either!

Oh dear, that definitely took a step in the wrong direction. Mind you, i think I'd be tempted to wear the mk1 face down so I could admire the workings

I'm not a fan of the normal C5 Slim due to the lack of minute markers.

That's why I've got a C5S FLE!

I think square watch is not easy to wear. Doesnt match on all wrist.

Me too, it's a great dress watch and the rose gold works well.

^^^ Yep never had any interest in the normal C5S, whether round or square, but I do like the C5S FLE, one of the few CWs that I regard as a keeper.
