They'll be there. We've already had C900 and JH2 so unlikely to be exempt, The high number that are sent out on sales promotions may mean there will be plenty.

I get confused by some of the posts moaning about the DBR1 COSC SE, I don't like it and would not buy it and even if it was £175, I would not want it.

But..
I am pleased that CW has made it and hope its a sell out. We all like different styles of watch, I like my pair of C60's and love my C900, others may not, but so what, how boring if we all like the same thing.

So good luck to all who like it and a big :thumbup: to those who order 1.

I hope CW make big £££ from this venture and use the money to launch more new shiny shiny things that appeal to me.

In an asylum one expects to find lunatics. Wouldn't want to build a commercial model on this assumption!

The CWL mantra has not changed.....the watch is an LE that will be marketed to the appropriate areas to insure a sellout......as a CWL collector and wanting to maintain my complete collection...I must have one....even if I did not like it.

PS... I liked the C80's as well. :wink:

Really? I understand following a brand / team / group etc but such blind devotion is bordering on an unwillingness to see any fault in those you are following.

I have spent a fortune in the past following my football ream all over Europe but 2 years ago decided enough was enough in light of the direction that the chairman was taking the club. I haven't been back inside the ground since despite letters and emails asking me to reconsider; sometimes you have to take a stand and tell people you're not prepared to be taken for granted.
I most certainly don't feel like I am being taken advantage of, nor is my interest in CWL blind devotion. This model was not produced for me and I am certain that Chris was not thinking of me when he had this opportunity.

I collect CWL watches in the manner I do for some specific, and some personal, reasons. I have spent a small fortune on CWL watches and will be spending a lot more, but if/when the time comes and my reasons/intentions change, I will stop.
Nothing says I must buy this model or any other that CWL builds, anymore than anybody else needs to buy this one.
It all started simply... I am a fan of CWL watches and choose to collect them..it is quite simple really.

As for my "willingness to see any fault in those you are following"......Until you know me personally and my reasons for living my life the way I do. I would suggest you withhold judgements/assumptions regarding my character. I see several things wrong (IMO) or things I would do differently with CWL and some of the watches that have been produced, but this is not my company. If I want all things my way, I will start my own company. They are successful so I will leave it at that.

I have been a watch and clock collector long before I started collecting Christopher Ward watches. My collection consists of many brands, new and vintage, novelty and regular. All have been gathered for different reasons and all mean something to me.

I do not feel that I have to justify my reasons, nor does anyone else, as to why we collect things to anyone but myself (perhaps my wife on occasion).
