:shock: You returned it!

Seriously now...If it didn't suit you you did the right thing. I hope you have a far better affair with the C61. :)

This is why the CW return policy is so good. Sometimes the fit of a great watch just isn't right for some people.

Now, let's see some photos of the C61!

I know! I never do things like that - the 60 day return policy is just too darn tempting though. I was a bit self conscious over wearing it. Such a shame really because I spent ages staring at it on the internet. Watches are one of those items that you really need to try on before you buy.

When I first got the C61 I wasn't sure, because although it's only 4mm less in diameter than I'm used to - it felt really small, almost 'female-sized' in fact! After a few days though I have re-adjusted my perspective of it and it feels fine now. It is very comfortable to wear as well and doesn't dig-in to my wrist. I ordered a C61 with a steel bracelet too - which is no doubt more durable.

I will try and get some snapped tomorrow when the light is better! You guys can double-check the size of the C61 on my wrist too! :silent:

I thought it best to stop banging on about my new C61 (in a C11 review thread) so I've stuck some photos up in a more suitable post!
