C5 Battle of Britain sold out?

Post by trsullivan »

Went to the U.S. site to check the specs, and couldn't find it at all. Have CWL sold through their stock? Given the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, it would be understandable.

To the best of my knowledge, they are all gone.

In a way nice to know they sold out in the end, they hung around way longer than I expected them to.

I love mine, always consider them to be one of the hidden gems amoung the CW collection.

I'm finally in the market again for a new watch and I remembered how much I admired the C5 BoB. Rather disappointed it's sold out now. Anyone have any idea how often they pop up on ebay?

Not to many. I have only tracked 17 in 5 years.

Patience may be in order with this one.

There's a 'want to buy' section on the forum that you can let people know you're after it in.

Thanks, I assume that's under the Sales Corner > Christopher Ward Watches, correct? If so it appears I need to make about 25 more posts to gain access to it.

Deal was reached last night. Looks like I can finally close my WTB.
