Well, they're both nasty however if you made me choose, the white one as it stands out more... which is the point of it, surely?

Both are unappealing but of the two the black is slightly less awful.

I think they'd both look a whole load better if they weren't chronos, other than that I think I'd (not literally) go for the white one. Very 'crazy hours' without the crazy bit.

Prefer the black one as the numbers are slightly less in your face.

I'm on my phone, so the pictures are a bit small, is that a tacho scale ?

Daftness !

It is and you're right about the daftness, just looks plain wrong. I think I'd keep the chrono and loose the scale actually...

It wasn't my first choice of watch, but was a bargain. My first choice had already sold out.

Yes it's the stingray strap. No idea what this will be like in the flesh. Its on their 60:60 guarantee, so if it doesn't suit it will go back.
Will the strap smell fishy? I love the smell of a good leather strap.

Didn't want multi coloured numbers, but it's a but funky, and this will be my weekend watch.

I currently only have a decent watch which I wear for everything, but it's a bit smart to wear with jeans.

I went for White face. Hope i like it when it comes

It will probably be lined with leather anyway so still smell leatherish. I have a shark skin strap and that does not smell fishy.

Even if you don't like the strap its easily changed.

As a casual ladies watch I think it looks great. What does it matter if it has a tachy scale on it? if you like the looks thats all that matters.

I have watches with scales on that I never use. It doesn't matter.

50% off in the CW sale?

I was thinking of getting one for my wife, but she really doesn't seem to like it! Shame.

Yup 50% in the sale preview. Things are running out fast (apart from the more unusually styled watches like these which would only appeal to a small amount of people)

I have to say, it wasn't something I ever thought I would go for, but the pics are growing on me and I know that the CW watches are even better in the flesh.

My other watch is a classic ladies tag link with a black face, so thought I would have a white one for a change.

Still not too sure on the stingray strap. Might have to be changed. Just a she that I had to pay more in the first instance to get it. Never seen one before, so I might like it

After ordering it on Saturday night it arrived at work yesterday.

Verdict is - I like it!

Have had lots of comments from people at work saying that it looks niec too.

It is definitly a marmite watch though.

Here is a shot...

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what others think, do you like it?

Thats all that counts in my book.
