C65 sandstorm chronometer - Update

[missF]

I checked the search function and didn't find much about this watch (apart from a long chat about mac and cheese and rice pudding! ).
I wondered if anyone owns this watch and could share any pics? I find it impossible from the advertising shots to get a real idea of what the dial is like.

I want it to look like this, with contrast between the darker inner disk and the steel surrounding it:

...but some other pictures just make it look amorphous and bland.

Any pics in any lighting gratefully received

I assume you've seen the Hodinkee pictures, MissF?

Here are a few I've borrowed from the CWE Group;-

Thanks Richard - I hadn’t seen that article.
It kind of affirms the fact that in different lighting it becomes either a watch I would love or one that would make me go ‘meh’......

Maybe if I wore it, the moments when it catches the light just right would become sublime!

[missF]

Thanks Guy - once again it’s a different watch under different light

[missF]

Maybe I should just order one and take a proper look....?

You’re so right!!
Problem was I bought a watch box and now I’m determined to instantly have a superlative one!

It’s interesting to see how any of the pictures show the lume, which suggests they have needed some strong light to make the dial pop a bit.

Do you get much strong natural light at your latitude?

Yeah, I found the lume quite distracting- I couldn’t tell what was lume and what was colour on the markers.
Strong natural light isn’t a big feature of life up here.... and I think the watch looks a bit death-star-y in low lighting.....

I know you have been back for awhile now, but I just wanted to tell you how happy I am to have you back here and active again. You really do add a sparkle to this place. I am certain I am not the only one who missed you.

[missF]

Thank you Kip! I just love hanging out here

Clean and funky at the same time. I like it. Too bad I can't raid the vacation fund again this year

[missF]

^^^ See, I think it’s funky too, and I like all the shapes and sizes. I really like dials with concentric circles - a kind of target effect, but I think that that last feature maybe gets lost under most light conditions
