Correct. Never bothered me.

Re: Bader micro adjust clasp

OP I have the same wrist size as you do, 16.5cm. On my Sealander GMT I have the longer clasp, visually indeed I would like it to be shorter but comfort wise I'm very pleased.

Re: cases all the same?

Nice! The anonymous rotor wouldn't bother me. Please write back with impressions if you swap it out! :D

Currently my CW dream watch is the 40mm White Trident with a LJP movement :D.

Re: cases all the same?

It's funny, I was just looking at the same thing and considering a 'special' Sealander. I already have a movement to replace the Sellita. May I ask what movement? I don't like SW200/ETA2824 (don't ask) but I wouldn't mind a LJP G100 at all. Not sure if 100% interchangeble or if it's even available ...

Re: I think I'm DONE with Sellita movements

my first experience with SW200 is on my CW Twelve - it is quite rough to wind and runs at +12 +15. Disappointing overall even though the watch is great. Just a little more (esp in secondary market) buys you Longines whose L888 movement is smooth like butter (plus in many models you get a silicon ba...

Re: I might have a Tudor problem!!

The BB58 925, which actually wears pretty large for a 39mm. Almost too big for my 6" wrist, but I make do :D Do you happen to know if it wears larger compared with C63 39 GMT? I have the C63 39 GMT but I plan to get a BB58 sometimes in the future. C63 39 GMT wears quite ok I would say (ignorin...

Re: Rotor twitching

Not to mention that (the setbacks due to the severe weather in Switzerland not withstanding) the replacement for the SW200 is just around the corner I believe. Maybe early next year? This is new to me and interesting! Do you know which movement do they want to replace SW200 with? P.S. I have a Seal...

Received older bracelet with new watch

I ordered a C63 Sealander GMT, assuming they come with the new bracelet with screw links. I even asked support before ordering and they said I quote "The bracelet for this watch is single screw and tapers down to 18mm". Now I got the watch and the bracelet is with pins... I can return it, ...

60 day return from EU

Hi,

I searched around but couldn't find an answer so... If I want to return a watch from European Union in the 60 day window, will CW arrange a DHL pickup (it arrived via DHL)? I ask because otherwise it's a hassle to send an item outside EU via usual mail service (at least in my country). Thanks!

Re: Atoll Reef Blue

On a regular Pro 300 you will have, say, a steel inner ring and black bezel, where the black gap between is less noticeable. Thanks, this explanation makes sense. But still, even if the bezel systems are different the tolerances on the previous LE Atoll are clearly tighter, as @WileyECoyote confirm...

Since I don't have a CW, yet, the usual C60 Pro 300 (or others with moving bezel) has the same bezel gap/play? If yes, then I'd conclude the same - acceptable manufacturing limits.

Re: Atoll Reef Blue

Looks more and more of a general issue with the new Atoll, see second picture in this post and compare the fit of the bezel on the old Atoll vs the old one general-discussion/atoll-reef-blue-t617 ... ml#p967379

Damn that gap is annoying. Some commenters on YT complained as well.
Is this a Limited Edition run? If not, I'd rather wait for a later release...
