The Concord C-1 is growing on me

At first I thought it was too trendy, too avant garde for me, but I'm starting to like it. I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to watches, but the C-1 is growing on me.

Long term, I wonder how the black plastic bits will look/wear (on the rep). Are they plastic/rubber on the gen? or PVD metal?

These are pics of a gen, which I stole off eBay. I like it better than the Hubolot. And as a rep, there should not be any movement problems, as it uses a standard 7750 (no extra gears needed).

Looking forward to see what the rep makers come out with.

Not that I don't like it, but I think most people may glance at it and think it's something you can pick up at a discount sporting goods store. It doesn't have the luxury $$$ watch appearance to the untrained. I may pick up a rose gold though.

Yeah Agree! doesnt look that prestige, But hey its good for fashion. One of my watches magazine cover have a shot of a model(women) with this watch in her wrist. Look pretty nice:)

If I saw someone with this watch, my first thought would be that he was looking for the nearest stadium to referee a game. Some of the other Concords are quite elegant though.

i think its great. It reminds me off the first time i saw a ROO. this crazy, huge watch that i really wanted. Im going to buy it, when its out.

Agree looks like one of those watches at the airport kiosks for $10.

For that reason alone I wouldn't buy it and I do find myself somewhat attracted to it.
