fair play to CW, a very good idea and apart from not receiving the sales email a splendid day. Thanks to this forum I have managed to get the elite, hopefully will be arriving shortly.

I wonder what watches and when the extras will go live? I would love it if the bronze with blue bezel becomes available again

believe they purchased for the sole purpose of reselling
Well a quick trawl through eBay would tell them that! I'm not complaining, any retail company would be glad to sell as much stuff as they can, after all that's the point isn't it? I do think though that it cheapens the brand to see so many "new" watches being sold on, although the more ambitiously priced watches do seem to hang around for a while.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left

I ordered a prototype, so I'll either have buyers remorse or buyers disdain :lol:

Well, I just saw one new watch get added, and then went almost as quickly - a c65 yellow special edition. The items count from 14 to 15, back to 14, and now its 13 watches for sale.

I also got an email saying priority access ends at midnight tonight, so I expect some new stuff will be loaded tomorrow.

I agree totally on the duplicate point.

Im sure some greedy *******s would find ways round the max purchase number though. But I agree with the idea :clap:
Sorry, I disagree with the duplicate bit - I’ve bought the same for my Dad, for a special birthday, in the past and the same one for myself. Are you saying that shouldn’t be allowed? If there had been 3 available I’d have had all 3 so my brother got the same but he had to have a different one.

It feels like they are teasing us!

I already have the 40mm bronze and really do like it and I would recommend it to anyone at that price

Now thats a different story all together. Thats a nice touch :clap: . I think its almost impossible to "police" in any case, and the fact cw are even interested in fairness of supply should be noted by other companies imho.

Agreed, and that's one reason why it's difficult to draw a line in the sand.

I'm sure most of us would agree that we'd sooner see the watches in the sale bought by or for the people who are actually going to wear them.

Excited that CW is doing this!! Well done to keep the scalpers minimized

Based on watchrecon and eBay petty good idea we could name most of them

I'm relatively new to the CW Sales, but comments about minesweeping sales items were a MAJOR gripe in the past. So, I must applaud the stance taken and I also hope the 14 indivduals face further restrictions in the future.

I'd appreciate a heads up if the C65 SH21 (stainless case) rears its head again. :thumbup:
