If one were to contact CW, do you think it would be possible to purchase a 36mm Sealander on, let’s say, a black and white #tide strap? Would they do that sort of strap swap?

Maybe I’ll have a sort of answer soon. I emailed CW yesterday asking if they can ship mine with the XS oak leather instead of the standard length. I hope to hear from them soon and I’ll report back.

Ooh good! I’ll be really curious to hear the results. I’ve got my eye on the 36mm white dial. The bracelet is on pre-order, straps available immediately. I don’t have any interest in either the black or camel vintage oak they’re offering the watch on though.

How crazy is this then?
My order is being shipped in 2 parts both supposedly arriving today. Part by DPD and the other part DHL.
What on earth is that about?

DHL, DPD, RM and whatever Hermes are now called!

^^^^ One of the straps, or bracelet, coming separately perhaps?

That is my thinking Guy, the extra coloured strap being the second package.

Gawd knows! What I do know is that next day delivery does not mean you will get it the next. Two emails within no time at all saying delivery will be today followed by delivery will be tomorrow.
All couriers are crap. A source of constant grief in my work life!

It’s CWs new shipping method to help with the customs charges in the US. As the US charges different taxes on different watch components, CW are starting to ship items separately to make it easier to resolve import duty issues.

The first parcel will be the watch, the second will contain the movement, the third the strap, and the fourth package will be the instructions to tell you how to put everything together.

Good luck....

Perfect.

Congrats robin
My order has just arrived in entirety via DHL.
Now I have to wait until 9.30 tonight to unwrap.
What was going on with the delivery emails dunno but doesn't matter now!

I'm now officially jealous
