So... how about let's get out and deliver the Purple dial Bel Canto C1 pleeeeeeeeease :)

Yup, agreed, I cancelled my order, I was supposed to receive in July, then in September, then moved to January '24, you can pre-order them right now still, and gather will be able to from now on.

Kinda lost interest, if my interest returns, I'll order again.....

My purple Bel Canto arrived yesterday. Ordered in January 2023. I hope others receive theirs soon.

My old eyes sometimes have a hard time finding the hands. But I can hear the hourly chime.

Congrats!

And yeah, the center dial 'arms' should have been a dark/black color.

Mine came today as well. Fun watch to add to the rotation and looks nicer than expected in person!

I ordered mine the beginning of January 2023 and received it last week. I’m enjoying the pleasant chiming. I ordered it with the Ti bracelet but decided to add the leather strap which I think makes the watch look really exceptional. I turn the chime off at night because the little "ding" is sufficient to disrupt my sleep.

Congratulations, Lee. Glad to see your Bel Canto has arrived.

Thanks, Dave. Arrived last week. Pretty much wearing it not stop. It's also remarkable how easy it is to read at night in the dark. It's interesting to see the hammer reset over the hour as well. One last thing worth remarking about is the new improved Bader bracelet with the ratcheting microadjustment clasp. Wow, compared to the old Baders this is a thing of beauty!! Not to far off from the Glidelock in function!!!

Congratulations!! It's really nice on the wrist!! The Ti bracelet and watch are a nice light combination. The right strap really shows off the watch as well.

Finally my Bel Canto Nero arrived a couple of days ago ! Definitely a looker and excellent quality for dollars !

My first Ti watch …………………. IDK.

That looks great, congratulations!

So curious, which is better black or red? I think we need a poll. Black is on the blue but red on the black and violet. It appears there is also a blue pointer.

Many thanks !

I thought the black would be universal and fit the most occasions.

I hadn't seen an image of the MB&F so I thought I'd post one along with the price tag!!! Not that there's really any similarity.

I have a viola (purple) on order. Ordered it with a titanium bracelet.

When I get the email to finalize my payment, I plan to add a leather strap as well. Undecided as to whether the camel (light tan) or the brown would look best with the purple dial.

I’m thinking the camel would look really nice with it.

I faced the same decision with my purple. The answer I decided was both!

Although I actually love the bracelet so that is my current preference.

Used my amazing skills to see what the viola would look like on the brown and tan straps.
