Managed to hold off this time. Well, I tried to get the C2 Lido I'm black but was too late. Always fancied something all black in the collection and it'd have been a cheap fix.

Kinda glad I missed out. More money to the fund.

Great choice, tried one on last month and it's fantastic.

More seriously I'm thinking of getting a C11 for my wife, sad I missed the last ones, does anyone know why the huge price difference between the two listed?
You won't regret the Kingfisher James, I love mine.

Can't see why the price difference with the W11's....but my girlfriend adores her one.

I see there's a note that it comes on a steel bracelet, does anyone know if the model number denotes steel or rubber?

It denotes a silicone bracelet. I think the text about a steel bracelet is a leftover from a previous listing.

Sounds about right.
The page says "Save up to 40%". How is that in breach of anything?

Tempted to get the gold C3 (for my dad) or the Bluebird (for me).

How does the 1/10s thing on the Bluebird work - does it keep rotating continuously, and is it a 30 min chronograph ?

There are a lot of women's watches avail on sale at UK site that are not on USA site.

Still not sure why this happens, but I've ordered using the UK site and it works just fine--it's the non ec price. So those here in US, go click the UK flag in upper right and goto Clearance tab and you'll see all the stuff that u may otherwise miss!

Yes, and the price is crazy cheap now (way better than the USD prices on the US site) due to current conversion rates. No extra fees (standard shipping to US).

Ah. I wonder if too many of us in USA buy em at these prices would cause a loss in revenue: couldn't blame em for that! I didn't know it was that big a difference

That isn't, I was referring to the full/non-sale prices showing against each individual watch, e.g. the typhoon was showing 1,500 when list price is only 995. That's misleading, irrelevant of the fact that elsewhere the discounts available may be correctly quoted.
