Not just you; I saw the differences.

However, I feel the crucial one, in determining which case has been used, is the lug-2-lug.

This is stated in the CWArchive as 48.6mm for the C1 Moonglow & C1 Moonglow LE but 47.9mm for the C1 Moonglow Mk2. Albeit CW stated 48.55mm for the Moonglow LE - as best as I can recall as it it no longer visible on their website.

Pulled the trigger earlier today as I had a feeling they wouldn’t last the day. Love that it looks more like an everyday watch while still having the beautiful moonphase complication. Also think the simple branding is spot on. I am sure I will try it with a variety of straps, but I am a fan of the color they chose out of the gate. Can’t wait to see it on my wrist.

Already sold out.

Well done to anybody that ordered it early. (Nice but too much for me)

Looks like they have been reopened for sale if anyone is still interested.

@Tonywalker @Massman64 @missF congratulations to you all on snagging one!

Currently possible to “add to bag”, so maybe one or two have crept back in. Maybe the last chance for anyone who wants one.

I’m tempted but I decided it might be a bit out there for me. And I think a moonphase deserves more regular wear to appreciate the movement, which it wouldn’t get. Certainly won’t be a problem in your case Lindsey :D

Thanks for the heads up - looks like they are back available but I doubt for long!

I fortunately placed my order as soon as I got the email as I always wanted the Moonglow and was gutted when I missed it in the sale (which has also been restocked with some pieces this morning including a bel canto). So the timing could not be much better and am over the moon (sorry!)

Also just for heads up the consort bracelet will not fit this as I checked with CW.

I own 3 CWs now bel canto viola, twelve ice cream blue and now this magnificent piece!

I wouldn’t assume there are more than 80 just because they were marked as sold out and then not. Kind of the opposite of my sale Dune order being canceled. I suspect it is an inventory management issue, not a scam on LE numbers.

It's still an LE of 80 Pieces; screenshot taken a moment ago.

Well maybe they just didn't make all 80 in advance

80 at £700 cost (say) would tie up £56000 in stock and delay revenue receipts of £160K. I imagine they are now more careful about inventory management and make smaller batches to assess the response. If they had made all 80, and they sold slowly they have a potential issue. The KS sales approach has a lot of positives. I think the big guys do it as well, without making it so clear. You have to wait a fair while for some of the special Omega watches, don't you?
