Logically, I suppose it should mean New.

If you are looking at the SKU code then "N" signifies Nearly New. There is no "NN" in the SKU codes.
"S" = Sale
"C" = Regular model at RRP
"M" = Morgan model
If you are interested, there is much more info
here in the CW Archive. Scroll down to the bottom for the current system in use.

@welshlad I’m sure that makes much more sense. I never can get my head around CW’s codes!

Nah, "C" means New. Obviously.

Often "NN" is used as an abbreviation for Nearly New, e.g. in sale descriptions. For these items, you should expect to see "N" at the start of the SKU, which you can see in the web address of the sale page for the specific item. It will also appear in the product details once you add it to your basket.
If a sale item doesn't state "NN" or "Nearly New" then the SKU will probably begin with "S", which means it is brand new, but at a reduced price in the sale.
Hope that helps.

^^^^ So NN means nearly new except when just N means nearly new in which case NN no longer exists. Anything that is actually not an NN but just an N is actually a C unless it’s an S.
However an M could also be a C, and an S and an N, or in some places an NN. But not all C, N, NN and S are M’s.
Got it, thanks for clearing that up.

A is for Aquitaine, shiny and round,
Hey-ho says Rowley,
B is Bel Canto, a bird and a sound…
I wont go any further, but if you feel like having a go just keep it clean (unlike the rugby and rowing club versions I learned!)

With a watch or a clock or a Wardish cuckoo?
