Decided to give it a miss this year until the email arrived.

Looked at the C65 Pepsi and the dark blue C65 Super Compressor but they were both sold 5 mins after I received the the email so I widened my search but everything I would have bought was gone after 15mins.

Even the strap I wanted had sold.

Will have another look in the morning but I think I’ve saved a few hundred £££.

Enjoy!

Y’all warned me that the watches would go fast today and yet I still wasn’t prepared for that type of speed .

Ah got it Nigel. The waiting doesn’t bother me either, providing I know I am not being strung along.

One of the ADs I have bought from historically I now put in the BS category. Another I have known for a similar amount of time is in the no silly games and no BS category (the only one I now bother with ).

Whatever the timescale you have been told I imagine that it will end up being shorter, as grey market prices continue to tumble there will be very few models that someone will be able to flip for an immediate profit. Good news for those of us that just want to buy to wear.

While there is a nice array, I don’t see any must-haves for me. The “nearly new” discount looks to be a little tighter this time around. And I feel I should not be looking anyway as I should probably trim my holdings instead of increase them.

If anyone sees another 'Foxglove' C63, I'd appreciate a heads up.;

I just missed the one that came up earlier.

Well, there are some good ones to snatch up for sure. I unfortunately blew my 2024 budget at the end of last year so nothing for me.

Plenty of Aquitaines left. Does nobody like them?

I still snagged a Sealander Elite though. I’m excited to see it on the wrist

I like them but was expecting they'd release them in a smaller case size to complement the vintage style..

I took a look but I bought two in last January's sale so my interest in this year's sale is muted. Still lots of good choices left though.

Plenty of 'green' Aquitaines.

Any idea how many items.s were available when the sale launched? There were 49 items when I checked in, it'd be interesting to see how much had shifted before I looked. TIA

Well I missed the email, just looked at the sale and I can only assume the watches on my list were already sold so I got two straps. I guess this saves me from having to explain to the wife why I bought another watch.

I checked it out pretty quickly after it was released and saw 150+ items. I actually have a PDF of the page with all the items, but it's not letting me attach here. I'll try to figure it out and get it posted at some point.
