Help please; comparison shots wanted

Post by hoppyjr » Sat Mar 28, 2015 11:01 am

Hey gang - I owned a CD-2 from about a minute, but can't recall if I liked the size.

Could you folks please post some comparison shots to known watches, so I can get an idea on how this will fit me before I move towards another one? I'm thinking Sub, Pelagos, Sinn, etc. but whatever you have is appreciated. I'm worried that I may feel too small for me.

I'm mostly interested in the CD-1, but may go CD-2, so photos of both are appreciated. Maybe even CD-1 and CD-2 together.

Thanks!

Hoppy

Ed: When I get home I'll try to get some photos of the CD2 with your old 6309 so you can get a sense of the difference.

Too small Hoppy? I always thought that it was a pretty big watch?

Sure thing. Mark did a great job. I think if you can wear a Sub C without thinking it's to small, you'll have no problem wearing the CD2.

But I'll post up pics later.

I have some side by side.
Will post later.

CD-2 is thicker age heavier. Less strap room.
Smaller dial opening. Smaller markers

It is about the same as a U1 just a flatter caseback.

These are misleading hoppy.

Terry, take a pic of the watch next to your dong so hoppy will get the best perspective.

I have owned both and would not be happy with a CD-2 anymore now that I've owned the CD-1.
