That really looks pretty hideous
albeit with a very nice interior. Talk about contrasts.

I don't mind diamonds on the bezel for certain watches, but this is just too crazy. http://watches.infoniac.com/c1-eternalg ... watch.html |

There's an absolutely incredible piece of watchmaking under that, but I'm with you - it's visually hideous. |

As Roff said, hideous but unbelievable watchmaking $killz exhibited in that thing. Concord are really coming out with some out there pieces, I wish they would come out with a middle ground between their low end pieces and funky super complicated high ends. |

Truely a shame what they did to that masterpiece. This is the one i really have an eye for. Anyone know what the street price is for one (stainless steel version)? http://www.concord.ch/#/C1/CHRONOGRAPH/0320002/ |

Anyone know what the street price is for one (stainless steel version)? http://www.concord.ch/#/C1/CHRONOGRAPH/0320002/ Very cool model, street is around 9-10K. I thought about it but for me it competes with the Zenith Defy Open Classic and that is a nicer watch for much less. If the C1 had some technical innovations it might garner more interest from me, but as it stands it is a pass. |

What an incredible thing (apart from the diamonds of course). It's amusing how small the actual time-telling part of the dial is compared to the rest of the case. BTW, what the heck is a "Trust Index"?

Physically, it's an indicator of the tension on the mainspring barrel, designed to show when the watch is in it's most 'reliable' phase of operation - e.g. to indicate when the accuracy may be off because the mainspring is running down - a bit of a gimmick if you ask me. B&R had one in a tourbillon last year. |

B&R had one in a tourbillon last year. Hmmmm that sounds pretty similar to a power reserve display as thats basically a measure tension in the mainspring. "Trust index" definitely sounds a bit gimicky to me. |
