Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
WOW. The want for these is hardcore. Too bad I’m broke! Maybe someday. Hope to see some wrist shots of these soon!

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
Wow, both look great! The Snow Leopard is the nicer of the two for me. I can’t take the plunge on either seeing how greedy I got with CW LEs in the last year. Well done, CW!

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
A much more wearable size than the prior SH21s for me. Very nice.

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
Don't CW give forum members a complimentary watch if they launch it on your birthday ? I'm sure I read that somewhere?

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
The blue marine is the pick for me, given the wave dial vs leopard print. Lovely colour too. I look forward to seeing wrist shots of those that buy!

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
On initial viewing I really liked both of them (too big for me though). On second thoughts I'm not sure about the dial texture - hopefully it's very subtle.
Imagine they'll both be very popular.

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
Wow, what a pair of watches. They both look stunning - big fan of the dial on the blue one, and I love the overall look of the white dial. Not sure if I have space for another addition, but I'll be closely looking at my collection to see what might be sold to make way for one of these...

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
Not a huge fan of either, marginally prefer the Blue Marine. What I do like though is the logo, on those watches it sits very nicely

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
I like these but the power reserve indicator ruins it. It has ruined it for me for just about every SH21 design. Don't like it on GS either. Like others on here I have the LE coming too which solidifies the purchase decision even further.
Out of the two I think I like the Snow Leopard better than the Marine. But I like the texture on the Marine better than the Snow Leopard. I can't quite put my finger on it but something seems off with that texture. Might have been better to go with a more granular texture. Looks a bit blocky to me.
Interesting point: The dimensions are pretty good but I think it shows the limitation of the current SH21 in reference to size.
I do like the way they did the rotor and case back.

I like the look of both.
Currently exercising serious self control.
Will probably wait to see what further new releases crop up over the next few months.

Re: C63 SH21 Snow Leopard
For once a special release that would seem from the photos and the specs to suit me in size, thickness, colour etc and I'm at home for it as normally CW manage to time their sales and LE releases when I'm out without internet access !
The BMF would be my choice with that colour, dial wave pattern and a colour co-ordinated date dial. I could even put up with the power reserve dial, which I normally dislike but at least it's a full round sub-dial.
When these were announced I really wanted the Snow Leopard to be "it" but I'm not sure about the dial texture and the highlight colour used. With just 150 pieces of each I shouldn't think either version will hang around for long.
Maybe, maybe.
