And I'm fairly confident that the end of the embargo will not be the end of the complaining. But with the watch in open view we'll be able to pass unhappy remarks about the design and points of detail. Bring it on. :yawn:
I look forward to people actually talking about the watch opposed to hurt feelings about not being invited to buy a watch they wouldn’t have bought anyway.
or you could just keep on reading and let people say what they want

Apparently I’m not done complaining. I assume this is a dig at me. Not very subtle of you, why not speak your mind 😱
I wasn’t really trying to be subtle

I haven't read the complete thread, but I get the summary that their is only going be a limited number these watches for sale, and they will be offered to a 'select' few. OK. Well that's fine for the start, however if I'm going to believe the hype, let's hope their could be future production runs and we all get the opportunity to buy one.

I believe it is a limited release similar to what was done with the Concept. I don't think that anyone that wants one will be left out (the price is high enough and the product niche enough). They might not be able to get the serial number they wanted.

I was first on the list for the last concept and was told i couldnt have '01' only then to find out a few months after release that someone had it and that i was given the wrong info. the procedure that CW implement rightly or wrongly (wrongly imo) just rubs people up the wrong way.

I get it and wasn't commenting on the practice. Only that it is going to be limited and that I think that if you want one you will be able to get one.

I like the sound "if you want one you will be able to get one".

Out of curiosity, how many limited edition CWs were sold out within hours ? I know I missed out first JJ01 C9 jump hours but I wasn't familiar with CW brand at the time (& hence hesitate to pull the trigger.)
