I have it, it's been on for close to 3 years now with no issues but the pictures make it look a lot nicer than it is.

Just my .02

Got it a few years ago as a gift no issues and looks good.

I have it. The time is very hard to read because there is little contrast between the hands and the clock face. For that reason I can't recommend it.

How can you tell the time if it doesn't have a digital readout? ;-)

It's always 10:09 on that clock. Or 1:51.

Hi Joe. I've got it too. Over two years. Keeps great time and looks nice too. Not a bad price for what it is.

It is a nice basic Corvette type clock. Especially if you have red/black/silver colors featured in your garage.

Does it come with a strap or wristband? Seems a bit large to carry but as a fashion statement.......I can see it. Maybe you have large wrists and arms.........

I have one in my Garage just like it but with the C6 logo now for 6 years. Works great & I just change the battery every time it slows down.

I see what you mean. I had another clock like that. I had to dissemble it and paint the hands a contrasting color. This looks like it could be an issue.

I post a digital picture of the clock in the C3 forum, some of those guys still know how to read an analog time box like this.
