Oh man what a gorgeous watch! Really happy I pulled the trigger that Sunday just before they sold out. This is a keeper for sure. I'm liking it on straps too.

Not quite, I had to delay my delivery because I was away on holiday and I’ve received my despatch notification this morning. Should be with me tomorrow if all goes to plan.

Number 93/350 has arrived.

It’s on the blue tide strap until I get round to resizing the bracelet but it does go rather well with that stunning dial so I’m not in a big rush to change it.

You got it! :thumbup:

Congratulations! I have mine on the tide strap today too. Works perfectly with it. Took me four tries to get my bracelet sized to my liking. The adjustable clasp and two half links complicated things for me. Eventually I took both halfs out completely and it made sizing more simple.

Nope - I hope! :lol:
CW came through on their waitlist and I'm expecting one. Sadly it (and my sales items) seems to have got lost on the way to me with DHL so am waiting to see what happens...

Has anyone got some real photo's of an Atoll on the CW black/red hybrid strap? I've seen the CWArchive image render but not found anything else.

I bet you a tenner it’s gone within 12 months.
I’m not necessarily arguing that it’s a hit, I’m simply asking where the feeling it’s a flop is coming from.
I'm not arguing the Aquitaine is a flop but it has not met with universal praise by any means. The Atoll on the other hand seems to be extraordinarily well received everywhere I've see it discussed (here, other forums, FB groups). Very few negative comments on this release anywhere. Seems like most folks who didn't buy it did so only because they prefer larger or smaller size, or had another watch with similar color, or just didn't want to add any watch at this time. They could sell a ton of these IMO if they hadn't limited the numbers, which is why I suspect we will be seeing an ever so slightly different non-LE version of the Atoll before long.
