I really hope you mean the watch - not your wrist!!

Haha, guess I could've worded that better.

This all sounds to me that 2 case sizes could be in order the standard and the XL satisfying both sets of people as the style of watch seems very agreeable to everyone.

Leeb, I like the idea. The XL designation would be pretty cool. Not sure how practical this is from CWL's standpoint, but I know Debaufre did this with their Ocean1 diver.

The XL notion could be a way to go... perhaps Chris would consider running the C8 in two sizes also, for those that think the 44 is too big?

As an LE maybe on both C8 and C15?

Hmmm, I've always thought that the LEs would need to be the same case size as the normal production watch, for costs etc.
Putting that aside though, do you run the LE in large sizes or the small sizes?
Or should we keep LEs size neutral? It is a very good point though.

If the smaller case size was run on the LE basis it could be costed like the forum le and have people sign up for it in advance possibly? With some hands up numbers might make it a possibility depending on production costs for the cases. Do you think a modest price increase on that model would be acceptable?

I don't see how a slight size increase changes it from a great dress watch to not a great dress watch. What is the proper size of a great dress watch?

Hi ET,
It's simply a matter of personal taste at the end of the day. In recent years the trend has gone towards bigger watches for every occasion, but I take the view that you can't beat a classic design, because they never really go out of fashion. To me a dress watch is something I wear at a black tie function and a big watch doesn't look great with a dinner suit - just my opinion. Some may think exactly the opposite is the case; but traditionally, a dress watch is a more delicate, understated design, rather than larger or sporty. I don't think the case size increase invalidates it in any way, just changes the way I might use the watch. Probably would wear it in a less formal setting and less formally dressed.

Was thinking the C8 would be my fourth CW but this might just jump the queue.

Take your pick, both are slated for an August release.

C15 or the C8, which one should I get.....................................ummmm?

Get the C15 And C8 it's easy!!!

Joking aside my personal preference would be The C15.

Probably both I reckon

so.... when is this watch going into production?
