Re: c65 vintage black
Ooh I like that, it suddenly looks proper 'vintage' to me. AND it's DLC not PVD which is a nice bonus. However, the hands are so dull, so 'vanilla', no imagination.
So it's a double-edged sword IMO.

Agreed. I am really trying not to stare at this combo too much for fear of wallet shrinkageThermexman wrote:Yes, the original steel is still my preferred version but I love that new green leather strap they're offering!
Re: c65 vintage black
The 5513 looked small on me...but not girly. Probably used the wrong adjective, because the C65 is anything but girly. But 38mm does not occupy much real estate on an 22cm wrist.nbg wrote:Not sure why it would look girly? The dial on a C65 vintage is larger than that on a 5513......Psalty wrote:Size is what it is, but it would look girly on my wrist.

Re: c65 vintage black
For anyone who wants a "black" watch, a DLC finish is clearly the way to go. I would still probably opt for a steel finish because there is always the option to totally "upgrade" the look with a new strap later on, especially as bracelets/straps can be considered serviceable items.

Re: c65 vintage black
I actually think it looks pretty good, but DLC or otherwise black-cased watches aren't my thing.
A year after the C65 mk2 and this is it? I would have hoped for a 38mm version of the non-vintage C65 by now - that's what was clearly, sorely lacking. A blue dial option would have been nice, too. Instead, we get this. Nice, but, eh.

Would that be a C65 vintage without the faux old lume?eventhorizon wrote: A year after the C65 mk2 and this is it? I would have hoped for a 38mm version of the non-vintage C65 by now - that's what was clearly, sorely lacking.
I would be in for that.

Re: c65 vintage black
Exactly. The vintage also has a brushed case instead of polished, and the domed crystal, both of which I could go either way on.hughesyn wrote:Would that be a C65 vintage without the faux old lume?eventhorizon wrote: A year after the C65 mk2 and this is it?

I would prefer the logo at 12:00 as well, but CW are sticking their guns on that one.

Re: c65 vintage black
I like the hands . I wonder if they'll find their way on to the C60?

Re: c65 vintage black
I like it too.
Surprised myself with this as a year or so ago I wouldn't have considered/bought a black cased watch.
Don't truly believe its a vintage watch though. How many 50+ year old watches ever had black cases?
Nevertheless, black cased watches are very much 'on trend' at the moment so, no doubt, it ought to sell well for CWL.
Wonder how long before they bring out a black cased C65 Classic (the 43mm version with onion hands)?

You could say it's similar to a PP Nautilus, but that's no bad thing.
There's not really many other watches with that style hands, so I think it's a different look.

Re: c65 vintage black
I much prefer the polished steel version, not keen on the Green Strap either, not keen on the leather/swede strap that came with the C65 vintage, the bracelet if by far better option.stefs wrote:What do you think of the new version. It seems to lose that bit of contrast between polished and brushed that the steel one has to me.
