No I'll never be a convert, I'll never berate anyone for loving one but they just make me want to jump out a window

@ James, you have to hold a purple C5 or C5 slimline to apreciate its beauty. Fantastic colour unlike most CW blues ( not scooter blue :cuinlove: )


For me. Dislikes are all C70,s and C7,s of old.

That's probably fair comment...and the wide hands cover the chrono subdials making it very difficult to use that feature...but I still love it :D

I realize the purple is a big turn off for some, but my purple C3 chrono is one of my favorite watches. :thumbup:

This thread deserves a resurrection of that old adage: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Get it out with Optrex.

My worst 3 are the ones I just missed out on, in the sale.

Then I can console myself that I didn't really like them anyway.

I love that one, probably my favourite C11. Just shows we're all different :)

They are indeed. I own both the purple and the green C5 slimlines. Wish I'd bought a purple C3 before they sold out, but my daughter loves her green C3.

Agreed! I was surprised at the level of hate it received. Love mine.

For me. Dislikes are all C70,s and C7,s of old.
I'll wait and see then.. but I'm not convinced

Maybe I'll be a convert who knows
