I know this brand is old hat to a bunch of you "veteran" ;) T3ers, but I hadn't seen this particular model/color combo posted here so here goes.

Arrived yesterday, sized it up and wore it all day.  I've been looking for a white dialed watch that wasn't too toolish...you know something I could wear with a nice shirt that was simulataneously sporty yet sophisticated.  I really like the clean dial of the C6, and the case proportions and combination of bead-blasted and polished details sealed the deal for me.

I'm surprised at how comfortable it is to wear.  It really feels light on my wrist and the bracelet is comfy too.  It uses a Swiss quartz movement, so it's not perfect, but for the price I paid, I feel really happy about this one.

Here's an image I swiped from their forums.  I'll try to post up some of my own shots soon.

A few more shots.  The pearlescent dial really changes depending on the light.

Since you guys asked, here are some more stats for it:

Diameter: 42mm (though the face is so large, it looks nicely bigger in person)
Height: 13mm (fits under a shirt sleave pretty easy)
Weight: 140 grams
Calibre: Ronda 715
Lug size: 22mm

4.5mm scratch resistant sapphire crystal
Water resistant to 300 metres
Fully adjustable deployment bracelet
Screw-in crown
2 piece uni-directional bezel -- 60 clicks (smooth, yet firm, really nice!)
Superluminova indices, bezel marker and hands
Date display
Screw in case back
Engraved NDL table and serial number


Package includes a hand-signed letter and warranty card from Christopher himself.  The warranty includes a 60 days unconditional return policy, plus 60 MONTHS warranty on the movement.  Nice.

Anyway, I feel like I'm writing an ad for CW, which isn't my intent!  However, I do feel that this is a pretty unique watch at a pricepoint that puts it alongside the various benchmark bang-for-buch divers from Seiko and Citizen. :)

If you're interested, I should put up some shots of the case back and deployment clasp.  They're both well executed too.
