C65 AM GT is inbound!
Just completed my purchase of the new C65 AM GT Limited Edition. This will be a 50th birthday present for myself from the family. And the best part is that I was able to reserve #259 - my birthday: 25 September! (Thank you Guy for the tip about calling CW to request that!)
The only downside is that #259 is still in Switzerland.

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
Top notch, Andrew. Glad to be of assistance.
Intrigued to see you have gone for the English nomenclature on date, not the American. No, wait. They're not producing a #925 piece. Sorry.
In the meantime, here's a pic of mine, while you wait for yours.

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
I think the English/European date nomenclature gives it a certain flair. I have an affinity for all things European anyway, so my wife really thought the 259 suited me. I thought about requesting 050 for obvious reasons, but liked the date idea better.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 3:17 pm Top notch, Andrew. Glad to be of assistance.

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
I absolutely love this watch. However, I probably won't be able to buy one unless they hang around until January - I blew through the rest of my 2020 watch budget this week.

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
Congrats Andrew, after an initial not sure re this watch itd a real grower on me (I have.a C9 AM GT with birth year serial No.).
Some really nice design features on the 65 and I'm a sucker for an automotive inspired chrono, wear in good health.
Oh and you share your birthday with my son !

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
Congratulations, and Happy Birthday in advance, Andrew. Great that you're getting the date as serial, also. No such luck for me, birthday of July 26th, and no 267 or 726 to be had...I would never have thought of that, it's brilliant.

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
Interesting development...
Stay tuned...
- Sent an email off to CW Tuesday asking if they had a timeframe for when my requested serial number might be sent from Switzerland.
- Received an email Wednesday saying the watch has shipped to me. Excellent!
- Received an email this morning in reply to my inquiry about when my requested serial number would be sent from Switzerland. It indicated that their Swiss offices are normally closed July 18 - Aug. 2, but she’d see if she can get it sent out before then.
- I followed up with an email letting them know that it has apparently been shipped and requesting some clarification.
Stay tuned...

Re: C65 AM GT is inbound!
Tried resisting but eventually caved in and just placed an order for one of these. My first choice number had already gone but my second choice hadn't (and it wasn't going to be third time lucky ). Just awaiting for it to come from Switzerland. I waited long enough to take the plunge do a little bit longer won't hurt.
