The reason they didn't use the light-catcher case or a crystal case back was it deadens the sound of the ringing. Low mass is the way to go. Great review!
Such a great piece I got hands on with it for a moment prior to the buyer leaving with it!! I want one but just purchased another piece so I guess I’ll have to wait 😢
I had a preconceived notion I would not like the green dial but your vid dispels that notion. The watch is absolutely beautiful. I have a Bel Canto in Black on order but estimated delivery is Jan 2024, so for now I have to wait and be content to look at vids like yours on this amazing timepiece. Thanks for sharing Blake.
My pleasure…..to be fair if I went for one, would be a black dial too! Is the dial going to be gradient as well? Congratulations btw and thank you for the comment!!
I love the look of the watch, but the hour repeater chime is also of interest to me (it would help me pace my work day in a pleasant manner). How loud is it when the watch is on one’s arm? I’m not sure, but I’d guess that the metal case back helps resonate the chime’s sound better than would a sapphire one.
I own a bespoke CW Sealander GMT, it was made for our watch club and a CW C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer. I got the early heads up to order the first release blue Bel Canto before it hit the public. I sat on it and thought, well its more expensive than the usual CWs, Ill just wait for a sale or when they drop the price....... yeah...... slight error on that call. Kind of a heads up, not sure what it is yet but Mike France was interviewed a few weeks back and explaining the delays. He mentioned a few times a new project coming out that will not suffer the same fate. He seemed very excited about it. Wonder what it is?
Really enjoyed the review, but honestly, I liked your presentation and the spin you put on the video, very enjoyable to listen to. Nice to meet you Blake, I threw a subscription your way!
2:41 Really? He wasn't able to deduce this from the pictures? I'm not sure how much a dial design would change from picture/videos to in-hand in real life. I mean just looking at the crazy design, you knew what you were getting yourself into. Something smells fishy. I don't think he's telling you the real reason why he's parting ways with it. That's like me ordering a Moser with no hour or minute markers on the dial after seeing countless pictures and videos of of it online, getting it in-hand, and then being like, "oh shoot , you know what, it's hard to tell the time with this dial!" Its like no sht, you couldnt tell by the lack of hour and minute markers on all the pictures? 😂 Same with this Bel Canto. Its like really, you really didn't think tjat it would be hard to tell the time after seeing multiple pictures of the dial design with its crazy unconventional design and with lack of hour and minute markers? 🤦♂️ Suuuuuuuuure.

Okay, that makes sense! But I love that case…one of my favorites 👍

@@PaulKaiser42 I'm sure when you do, it will be the right time!

Trying to decide leather or titanium with black or purple dial
I'm a black dial guy! @@blueshirtblueshirt
Really interesting watch. Not usually my cup of tea, but on that green leather.....wow!
Right? It’s a stunner. Not what I’d normally wear but it’s pretty freaking cool!
Glad I am not the only one who after looking at it for a while still doesn’t know what time it is 😂
🤣

Inside the house without a ton of loud sounds around, you can hear it. Outside with any other sounds would be hit or miss.

How do you like the Sealander GMT? Sounds like you got a keeper!! I wonder what Mike has up his sleeve? 🤔
I have my Bel Canto on pre-order. Only have to wait until June 24 :). Can't wait.
That's awesome, they are SO COOL!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words. Cheers!
Beautiful piece and keep up the great work man 👏
Thanks man! I appreciate your comments, especially from a YT veteran such as yourself 😀👍
@@threehandhunter ❤️
Very interesting watch.
It really is!
No matter how much I try to accept it, I can't. The watch is a masterpiece but that bracelet does not belong with that watch.
I get what you are saying. On leather it is pretty awesome
My only gripe was the lack of contrast between the dial and the hands.
Yeah, but when I had it I never looked at my wrist to tell the time. It’s just beautiful to look at 😂
@@threehandhunter There is a limited edition CW bel canto with roman numerals on the dial instead of batons, and in a different colour to the hands.
@@danielfrancis3660 Yes...that one is awesome too!
Thank you for your sacrifice
I hope that brought you a smile 😊
@@threehandhunter it did, but I found it really weird you completely neglected to mention the dial during this review
I wish they would have used torques screws rather then your standard flat screws.
I “wish” I knew the difference haha
The only change that I think this watch needs is a more unique case design and shape.
I don’t disagree with that!
pfftt college? that can wait a yr or two while you enjoy that beautiful piece 😅
That's what I'm sayin!!

I had it in hand for a week. It’s an awesome piece. Was it an impulse buy? Probably 😀
Cool vid! How much is he looking to get for it?
What he paid for it!
is it sold?
He was getting low ball offers so he decided to keep it!
Has it been sold?
Not yet. He has only received low ball offers.
So it ONLY chimes on the hour??? No second hand. No thanks.
I think this watch is more about horological significance. 👍
Can't take my eyes off of it
Right?
Quite a watch!!!!
Practical?…….👎🏽
Collectible?…👍
Nice video!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the comments! And it is quite a piece for sure!
college can wait! LOL
Hahahahhaa
Achha hai R
Yes?
Scripted and re voiced how many times? Disappointing click bait indeed. Bluhhhh.
Glad you enjoyed my efforts 😀👍
