I finally bit the bullet and bought the 38 mm Trident 600 pro in red.

I didn't find lot of details about this discounted item including sapphire crystal, AR costing etc. Is this watch different from the regularly priced models? Ex: https://www.christopherward.com/dive/c6 ... B0-HB.html

Seems to be a lot of us that havent received any notification. Is this a one off glitch or does it happen every sale..? Only wondering as I didnt get involved in the previous 2 sales but I was chomping at the bit for this one and missed at least 1 piece I was hoping for.
Totally appreciate theres tech and real life carnage throughout the world at the moment so things maybe wont run to plan, but just so I know for next time..!

It was around 1:00pm local i.e. GMT at the moment.

It started at 7ish am central time, so would have been 6 am your time. I got the email at 7:05. I'd say most stock was still available for an hour after that, including a lot of the one-offs.
Thank you, guys. Next time I’ll wake up earlier during the anticipated week. I was staying up later hoping it started in the morning UK time, but of course that didn’t happen. :(

I was wrong in my timing estimate. My email was timed at 13:05 UK time, and I received it at 13:26. I was in the middle of something, and by the time I started looking quite a bit of stuff must have gone, and the add to bag buttons were unresponsive. Once the sale is going, you can't deliberate for too long about items.

And now the waiting starts, last time I ordered the watch was delivered a day later (international). Not getting my hopes up tho :D
Must say, this was an excellent selection and very interesting to see so many prototypes in the mix.

Yes hopefully they'll work through the dispatch reasonably quickly, I'm in no big rush.

I am slightly concerned that having had money taken and email confirmation of the order, the order status on my account page still shows "pre-order"... hopefully this is just an indication of delay only...

I've never had a CW watch shipped quickly. I do not pay for expedited, and it always seems to take a good four or more days before I get the email. Not that I'm busy at present, so it's no problem.

Snap, I was looking for a white dial 40mm but the more I looked at the red dial 38mm, the more I liked it. Will see what it’s like as an everyday beater when it arrives. I missed this one for about £370 and paid the £507. Still a great price, plus hopeful that it’s more new and mint condition that the cheaper one.

Enjoy yours when it arrives

Didn't get the email - I never do.

The C65 Black Sand didn't last long in the range did it? It only seems like yesterday since the launch.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left

Still waiting for my email, but then again it always arrives a long time after the sale starts :shock:

Gutted I missed out! The one day I didn’t check too.

Well, definitely a disadvantage to being on the other side of the World; I was asleep when this launched! I just missed a Black & Orange C60 Mk2 Chrono last time and obviously completely missed it this time around! Ah well, more money in my account.
The Orange Sapphire looks amazing though (But then I would say that given the watch that is my daily wearer -> ).
I would've loved one of those but I really really hope the purchaser is on here as I think it'd be great to see more photos!

Managed to get a black & orange chrono this time, missed it last sale too. Also got one of the bronze c60's, ummed & ahhed over the Ombre or the bronze but went with the cheaper. I am really going to have to let one of the collection go I think (Black chrono is still unworn...)...or maybe rotate them on to my wrist more often
