I don’t know what the criteria are for an invitation. There has been no stipulated checklist to meet. I’ve been an active customer lately, but for less than a year. I was not emailed by the company directly. There may be a bit of randomness to the selection process. Perhaps there will be another wave of invitations.

Some preview invitations were delayed CW's "mail house" according to the email I received. Coming to the US would mean adding extra delays on top of that. Oh well. I can wait.

Hi Guy,

Zoom meeting with Mike and Declan... extremely enjoyable, helpful and great to chat with them a bit too :thumbup:

I few weeks back I spent best part of the afternoon with Mike and Declan. Amongst other things I had the opportunity to handle the C60 Concept. I won’t give anything away except to say my wife and I, as always, had a very enjoyable time.

Anxiously awaiting the details for this skeleton. I don’t have one in my collection but a skeleton CW could easily remedy that…!

Same question to you, Richard. Was your impression of the watch favourable, neutral or negative?

My impression has no value, I’ll leave that to those who are better qualified to comment. All I can say is I was delighted to be able to handle the watch a couple of months ago.

I very much respect your decline and will push that no further. :)

I would add, however, that your impression and opinion really do have value!

Sure I’m not breaching any confidences when I say I’ve spoken to two individuals who have the one to one with Mike and were both blown away by the watch. In fact both placed orders.

Skeleton watches aren’t my thing so my wallet is safe. For now.

I’m sure I’ll love the watch and hate the price.

The C60 Concept has been featured in the Esquire Big Watch Book which is out now. However, the magazine made a major subbing error and labelled it as a C63 Sealander Elite. CW are very frustrated by this, but unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done.

Good to see it featured, but wow, what an editorial mistake to make on the magazines part :?

As well as the label and description they also used the pricing from the Elite. Very frustrating- people may be drawn in by the supposed cost and then never look again if the true cost is significantly more.

Indeed, they'll love the watch and then be taken aback when they get to the site.... almost like an unintentional "bait and switch" :oops:
