Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
Thanks a lot mabotham.
I was concerned about the quality issues after yours had a few problems then Halt's broke down soon after as well.
I am not sure if you are going to use the stock rubber strap or not. I have not really used one before except the plastic ones came with a Timex digital watch when I was a teenager. That cracked and broke after a year. Would these rubber ones last as long as say a leather strap?
Can you move your wrist easily whilst wearing your C11 Elite without it rubbing against the back of your hand?

Currently +4s in 24hr, that's with +1s of it gained from 10 hours overnight face down. Dial down was the most accurate position on the certificate.mabotham wrote:Cheers, keep us updated.

In comparison, my c600 rolls on my wrist - the Elite is more fixed and doesn't rub. The rubber strap is less likely to perish so it's a safe bet.

Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
Ditto. Recently received mine and I have similar issues. The bezel is clearly misaligned. While mine is not running nearly that fast (around +8s/day) it still falls out of COSC rating. This is all such a shame too because the watch is beyond gorgeous. The darker tint of the titanium is stunning. Im in the US so the time it will take to have the whole process completed of sending it back, having it fixed and having it returned is not at all something I'm overly excited about. Any other product I'd probably say the writing on the wall indicates that this isn't worth a second chance on.mabotham wrote:Yeah your right re the release valve.
Mine has gone back today. Bezel off centre, cosc? Running several mins fast per day and finally, the 'screws' in the buckle have been machined off centre.
Id sack the QC !

Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
Over a full week mine is now -10 seconds . It was losing 4-5 seconds a day, for the first 5 days, with normal wear i.e. worn all day, crown down overnight. I didn't wear it all yesterday and it has mostly caught back up. But the overall for the week is pretty darned good in my book .Saffy wrote:~ +10s in 24hr on wrist, will see what it like a couple of weeks though before judgement.mabotham wrote:Saffy, give us an update on accuracy when you can mate.

Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
I have had mine a few days now. First night face up, second night crown down. Today +/- zero seconds.
Not too shabby. It may be a keeper.

Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
Had mine back a week now. Not tested the time as of yet, but it appears to be spot on. They changed the strap admitting 'it was slightly off center' - bit cheeky really, it either is off or not! and it was !
Anyhow, loving the watch

Judging by your thought process, I would say your meds are in balance.Helix Von Smelix wrote:Only problem is that i like it so much i need to buy the blue one, humm, if i buy the blue, then i should have the orange too Then i will need to get the white so i have the set

A set sounds like a fine objective.

Re: C11 Makaira Elite Titanium
Day 5
Don't think i have ever worn a new watch for 5 days straight. It is running at +2 seconds at the moment. Last two nights crown down. I will leave it face up tonight and see how she is in the morning, then in to the box with her!
