It spontaneously combusts and is magically reborn as a Rolex.

Re: I’m confused
Does this new C60 have a sapphire glass or a sapphire dial? Confusing
EDIT: OK, now I understand. They seem to have changed the wording as well.

The crystal over the watch dial is Sapphire, like all CW watches

They forgot to change this bit in the Feature section, and still no reference to the blue plastic.

Re: I’m confused
I still think the average Joe would think it’s a blue sapphire dial.

Re: I’m confused
That's the problem.
I don't really understand why they put sapphire in there anyway when they could've just used plastic for the same effect. The sapphire doesn't give it a special look or a USP of any kind.

Re: I’m confused
Watch dials are typically made of plated brass. Don’t know if that is also the case with CW.Kansas City Milkman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:36 pm Just out of interest, what material are standard C60 dials?

It's good to see that someone is reading the Forum and responding to our comments.
Well done CW.
