Yes only 42 or so mm per the CW website, I thought 48 sounded crazy too.

I think that all of us forumites are like crows- picking up, collecting and enjoying bright and shiny things. These colour releases have released our inner corvid! :lol:

To be honest though, I like the yellow but not enough to buy it.

I'd jump at the Tiffany blue one (probably as a Christmas gift for my wife...that I might 'borrow' from time to time :lol: ) but really can't justify one after getting the Highlander so recently.
I do not think its Tiffany blue though is it.
Close enough ;)

42.87 mm quoted on CW website. That tallies with the 45.8 mm L2L of the 39 mm Sealanders.

Indeed he is!

Is it just me or does the lume in the lume shot look more green than blue? Per the specs, it’s the same lume as the rest of the C63 line.

I missed that. Doesn’t phase me. In fact, I like it better.

The CW magpies descended on the new LE Sealander and those who did not hesitate were dead chough(ed) to bag one, or more, before they sold out, but promised not to crow about it…… :)

Yep, it’s green lume in the pics while if you pop over to the 39mm sealander listing, it’s blue (pic below)

What are you thinking? I know you had mentioned you’d prefer a no-date version, but do any of these scream at you to buy?

I think they should have had the TF in white on the yellow as on the other colours (except the white dial, obviously) as the black TF introduces a third colour that is dark and too contrasting to the overall look of the dial.

Momentary panic then... had an "order cancelled" email :shock:

Emailed CW and they've replied super quick :clap:

Turns out it was a cancellation of the "next day" delivery charge only, as CW are unable to offer this service on these new releases... literally not a problem, as I normally just wait for normal delivery anyway, but was so keen to see this one... It will be here next week, which is well in time for when I actually need it (November)... panic over :lol:

Nothing is screaming “buy me.”

But I do hear a soft whisper in my ear saying:

look at me, you know you want me…

I’m everything on your hit list…

No import duty…

Your wife won’t mind, in fact she can wear me…


And in the other ear I hear my accountant:

“Wait for a voucher, the white’s not a LE, so no rush. Apply the saved money towards a bracelet”

Well technically it's now "pre-order" (for 10th August), so likely they had a limited run available on these (perhaps others too :problem: ).

I have no doubt that they will sell out very quickly though... surprised if any of the LE colours are available beyond the weekend :shock:
