This C15 belonged to my late father-in-law and I helped him to buy it off the forum about 5 years ago. But, for some reason, I never integrated it into my collection after he died, unlike his Seiko 55 Fathoms which he also left me. But I dug it out over the weekend, cleaned and resized it, and am determined to wear it as part of my collection going forward. However, I may need to find a 24mm Hirsch performance strap to put on it as the mesh is a bit blingy! Please PM me if you have one lying around doing nothing.
That is a lovely watch Steve and highly sentimental too.
I also would change out the strap.

^^ That's one the best blues I have seen on a watch, especially in sunlight. Looks like a great watch as well. It is a bit depressing to look at watches in a summer setting while we have snow and unseasonably cold weather here.. :)

Ferg, I like the pairing of the Bluebird with the new yellow-orange CW camel strap. Very complementary...

That looks a great dress watch Steve and I like it on the mesh.

Good to be able to wear it and remind you and your wife of her dad.

Very nice, I’ve been tempted by the Dartmouth since trying it on at the London gtg.

A technical point on the C65 Dartmouth that I learned about from CW last week is that, whilst it uses the same 41mm case as the C65 Trident Diver, it has a larger 42mm bezel (not 41mm) and a deeper step in the profile of the crown to accommodate this.
