Ah, but to be a true lockdown chronograph it would have to have a one year subdial with a hand that ticks round so very, very slowly....

True!

Anyway, I reported my negative test on the NHS website half an hour ago, and they have just sent me a text and an email to tell me I tested negative. You gotta love it.

As much as I like these watches, I’m actually more impressed by the business and design decisions on the part of CW. I like the direction this is going, a lot.

Great stuff! You could be one of the first then. Best get those photos up pronto when it does arrive!
Mine's still sitting at 'Being Prepared For Despatch' so I'm hoping I too get an email update like yours soon.

I ordered the 1 VEV on bracelet.

Ordered at 09.21 Friday morning, at least that’s the time of my confirmatory email.

Thanks JPGR ! Mines a 2VEV, and opinion is that they sold out of held stock, if not the 150 total - so I guess it will be a bit longer for mine ...

Oddly the bracelet 2VEV is now listed as out of stock, but you can still pre-order it on a strap. Is this to prevent the use of £100 vouchers?

I'd hope that's more a stock update required by the web team than an attempt to stop people using the discount code on a £600 watch.
No small print on the voucher suggests that a £600 VEV wouldn't qualify.

1 VEV is available in stock, 2 VEV is pre-order for mid-March.

Neither is available on a bracelet, only on straps.

The C65 Bracelet Chronograph 22-STL-14-SXS-MA-ST which the C65 AM GT/VEV uses is on pre-order.

Make of that what you will.

Hmm, C65 bracelets do seem to be available to buy though.
Maybe the VEV is selling well and they have decided to nip the £100 discount 'loophole' for the VEV on a bracelet.
Not exactly cricket, but it's their bat and their ball - and I'd be doing the same if it was my business!

It does qualify, I ordered my V2 on bracelet using the voucher code for net cost of £500. Just thought it odd, they have the watch heads, they have the C65 bracelet (albeit both on pre-order), but you can't buy the VEV on a bracelet.

Weird. I tried to use a valid code I found and it wouldn’t add. What’s the code that works?
