Maybe find one from the run they did in 36mm? I think that’s a little better proportioned.

I like the colour anyway. I’d wear it.

I don’t think really small. These are so dial heavy that you just get better proportions I think, tend to think all ‘field’ style watches suite 36ish better than 40ish.

Just come across this thread, I rarely wear my C4 now but I suspect you won’t see many of these about:

I have a 39mm Formex Essence and it's right on the limit of too small.

I've tried several vintage watches in the past, and they have all been too small.

I know it's subjective, but that's my experience.

I have everything from 36 to 44mm, plus G shocks which are probably more than 44mm.

I like a bigger watch. 39mm is about as small as I could stomach

Thought I'd see some comments in this thread re the new Bel Canto colours... Anyone got any thoughts? Anyone bought one of the blue or green yet?

I like the salmon-dial one ("Rosa"?). But 41mm and ti seems at odds with the style of the watch.

Just visited the CW site.

Are their prices nearly double what they were last summer?

I bought a C63 and a bronze C60 Trident and I only paid around £1,100 for both. The Trident is now up for £905 and the C63 is in the £600s.
