Contact Customer Service. They have been known to offer a discount on something else in these types of situations (or just ask for a discount).

This might be me being sceptical but could these be from the sample sale?

several dunes appeared and then vanished quite quickly - so it is not impossible that they should not have been put up - CW have a history of being quite ropey in their accuracy of what appears on sales pages - with ghost watches / those with a Null entry / those where you can add to the bag but they are are apparently out of stock etc.

Never quite possible to know externally what has happened, so being in contact with CW is the only way forward

They make some really really good watches but as a company they are so amateur in many ways (not all ) and customer service is just not anywhere near good enough.
These quiet cancellations are just another example
Cheers now, Paul

Got the same and offered a 20% discount code which only gives 10% off when entered. Christ this company is not showing itself in a good light today

Now giving the correct 20%, I believe.

It’s a bit frustrating seeing the Dunes some of us wanted and did not get, popping up on ebay…

Well whoever it is, if these are from the Samples Sale then there is a limited 14 day return period so they might not sell quickly and get returned.

I guess they will sell for something over 550£, even at 600£ it is a great deal, and the guy still makes a plus

The cat is out of the bag, so to speak and people know to just sit and wait for a heads up on the forums to make a quick buck. Usually some helpful forum member will post up the link as soon as a sale goes live.

It's an easy flip when the discounts are significant enough.
