Praise for C63 Sealander
Those of you who have been reading my posts over the last little while know that I recently bought a C63 Sealander GMT for a very good friend. Well, I had occasion to get another one, and this time, I went with the white dial automatic.
I have to say that I am very very impressed. Even more so than with the GMT, to be honest. This one just oozes quality and class. The initial impression was probably the best of any CW I have bought. Hard to see how anyone could argue with the value proposition for a piece like this, even taking into account the recent price increase.
If anyone out there in forumland is on the fence about one of these, I am here to tell you that you won’t be disappointed.
Well done, CWL!

The white dial looks amazing! I have a green GMT, and I absolutely love it - as you said, definitely a fantastic value proposition even with the new prices.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
Not for nothing was the Sealander automatic voted Forum Watch of the Year.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
I held off for nearly a year on a Sealander, not because they were somehow unappealing but more for how one would fit in with the watches I already had. I ordered a white auto and it is really a great and good watch. I’m pleased that I decided to go ahead with one.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
This model is exceptionally close to the perfect watch for me. Black dial or white dial, just (please) slap a COSC movement into it and I’d buy one in a heartbeat!
I did own the Elite version for a while, but, despite its higher spec movement, I just found its dial too busy for me. The less-involved dial of your version really appeals to me!
Wear in good health and keep well,

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
I agree wholeheartedly with these sentiments. I have both the original black GMT and the white auto and feel they surpass anything CW have released either before or after.
I’m expecting to own both these for a long time which is something I’ve never achieved with all the other CW watches that have slipped through my hands.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
Very interesting to look back at that thread and see the philosophical underpinnings of the C60 Concept vs. the C63 Sealander.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 6:17 pm Not for nothing was the Sealander automatic voted Forum Watch of the Year.

I know you are a huge supporter of the GMT version, Steve, and rightly so! Pete is definitely happy with his!
The company definitely has a winning model range for the long term.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
Just got my copy of the latest Loupe and saw the blurb about 36mm. I’m really excited by this!

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
Recently bought my first CW. A C63 Sealander blue.
I have spent a few years searching for my Gada. I’m an outdoor guy and need something that I can wear working in the yard, hiking, around the house or out to dinner. This one ticks all the boxes. It came with a blue and white #tide band but just bought a bracelet for it from CW.
I’ll keep this one for a long time.

Re: Praise for C63 Sealander
And that's the model I'm fence-sitting over.
Green dials are hugely under-represented here at Tikka Towers: there's an Armida (currently listed FS here and maybe about to go on EBa>) and there's another diver but that one's a very heavy watch and a rather less-than-appealing mid green so a subtle green would fit right at home.
Does it need to be GMT? No it doesn't.
Does it need a steel bracelet? No it doesn't but "old habits"....
Or maybe there's a reason that I don't have much green? I don't think I do.
We'll see....
