If you have narrowed it down to just the two, good job. When one throws the GMT versions into the mix.... :headbash:

Welcome to the forum.

Of course buying both isn't necessarily a tongue in cheek response, as you can buy both and then return the colourway that you least like, once you have tried them on, under the 60-60 guarantee.

There are a number of orange/blue C60 variants but no confirmation the colours are the same. If they are (which I suspect Is the case) then the black may be better for me. But I'd like to know for sure as i really really want to like the blue better

I have the black version - it appealed to me more than the blue as I prefer the matt bezel. However when I ordered the watch I was incorrectly sent the blue version. Whilst it was very nice looking it just wasn't for me and when I finally received the black version I knew I had made the right choice. I'd nearly say if you prefer a slightly more classy/understated watch go for the black and if you prefer something a little more colourful/flashy with a bit of life in it for for the blue! But yes - a tough decision......

Damn! There's nothing for it to order both (and a titanium strap) and see which one I like best.
The free returns are almost encouraging me to do so...
