I could be tempted to chop in my elite and swap for the colchester given the local connection

Not a bad idea that mate - just wait for the next £100 voucher code. Unless we get a site wide 15% Black Friday discount in a few weeks?

I wonder how long it will take to sell 210 watch's and if it will still be around before the next voucher

I agree, many more options at that price point. I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine paying over 3k for a CW.

The C60 Mk3 is better in so many ways. Can you really say the Concept is worthy of being over 4x the price.

As someone had already stated, this will probably appeal to the die hard CW fans.

The Colchester looks like a serious value. I'm not sure why it's so thick though. Same movement as the Sealander and the Elite, but significantly thicker than either.
I'm quite confused by the Colchester case back. What is the "Christopher Ward Parachute Regiment"?

I suspect there might be some punctuation implicit in the two dots and the juxtaposition of the names.

Sorry to correct you Steve but the £100 voucher does apply for the Concept; at least it did when I ordered mine last week (when the 100LOUPE22 was still valid).

^^^ Sorry, Guy. I stand (or rather sit) corrected. I always thought it stated on vouchers that you couldn’t use them for Limited Editions or sale items.

That's interesting Guy - I asked but was sent a separate payment link with no option to use the code (this was over 2 weeks ago). Not that I'll be making a fuss about it!

Does anyone know whether CW still test SH21 equipped watches prior to despatch. I seem to recall when the C8PR was released they tested them before shipping out to customers.

If they don't I think they should at this price point.

I had a separate payment link too.

When I checked the price, the £100 voucher had been applied.
