Sound like it's battery to me.
I think Wera deals with the E mails in the evenings as i never hear till late or next day so don't give up just yet.

Thanks! I'll won't give up yet :wink: I was a bit impatient! No negative thoughts about Wera.

I got my NN Yellow C6 today! Just finished adjusting the bracelet and I must say I am impressed. Not a mark on it... looks BRAND NEW! and to boot it's swiss made even though I had ordered swiss mvt. Same serial number so go figure.

Got a bargain as far as I'm concerned.

I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow and show a couple of guys who dive.

Me too - C6SBS arrived in yesterdays post - also unmarked and looks brand new. I adjusted the strap yesterday also, but can't get the fit quite right.
I've read somewhere on the forum about half links for the metal straps, so I dropped Wera an email requesting one for this C6 and the T3 I hope to receive one day (!)
<edit> Reply from Wera, CW does not do half links as yet.
Its currently sitting on a black C4 strap from the strap sale, which is ok, but I do think it'll look much better on the original bracelet.
Overall, I have to admit I am genuinely impressed with the watch, a real bargain for £80 :)

Glad you like your it....the C6 is a nice watch and feels really well built!!

I've just put the bracelet back on my T3 as I think it looks a bit better than a leather strap, but I can't get it quite as comfortable as I could with the leather, so I'll just have to see how it goes :)

My NN C4 is back for repair :( In 24 hours, 11 hours behind :? I hope they'll replace it, because I think a new watch shouldn't be repaired! But on the other hand, 'nearly new'...

You're far more patient than me. To be fair, the watches are worth the wait... I just hate waiting.

As this thread is still live, I'll add to it.

My NN C6 T3 arrived yesterday, at last - I now have all 3 of my NN purchases.
I had originally "picked" #60 but was offered #300 in the end as Chris was unable to get #60 working.
Not a problem with the serial number of course.
Couple of questions with the C6 T3 though if anyone can tell me if this is "normal".

I was under the impression the T3 had the black centred strap - mine is the same strap as my C6SBS ?
The serial number is barley visible, not as heavily stamped as the aforementioned C6SBS - is that normal too?
There is also no certificate indicating the watch is a LE - is there ever a CW LE certificate?
The manual is dated Jan 09, same as my other NN purchases, I'll guess everyones is so.

I was planning on just keeping it as a collectable and not wearing it, but that didn't happen, it's just too good to not wear ! It's on my wrist today with a C4 black and white strap and I love it :D

As it happens, I am a T3 subscriber since issue #2, so the T3 logo actually means something to me, as well as the CW logo!

I don't think I had anything saying it was a Ltd Ed with my T3??? Will have to go dig the box and paperwork out and have a look!!

As for the strap, mine has the IPK coating on the centre of the strap, but if yours is a 'NN' something may have been wrong with the strap, so another C6 strap was fitted instead?!!

Today CWL #12 arrived. A C4IPK Terminator prototype from the NN sale. I must admit it seems a bit odd to have no serial number but I am ever so happy to have it.

I along with many others missed this one the first time around but thanks to good friend here it was brought to my attention. I emailed Wera and it arrived today. I don't know if I can bring myself to size it and wear it but it sure does make for a great addition to my collection.

Thanks "T"!

Damn! now I have to update my avatar again..oh well.... someday soon.

Still waiting for my C6- was sent to the wrong address apparently and returned to CW HQ. as undeliverable
Wera now tells me it is faulty and upon return and might need either a new battery or a new movement :shock:
I'm now getting stonewalled by the company on the phone-
Does anyone think these watches are worth this much trouble? :(
I get the feeling that they might be victims of their own success!

Hang in there Ron - the C6 is definitely worth waiting for :)
