I keep looking at that super compressor, but I really really don't need another watch. So I hope someone beats me to it. Anyone?

The Dune Aeolian was on my short list, fortunate to just happen to catch the email and sale.

Also just picked up exactly the same. Been looking at it since release and couldn’t say no at that price.

I saw that, congrats!

They also had the sand Dune, which I just bought a month ago since I figured I couldn't wait until July (to get a chance at the next sale). I had no idea they would do another sale in March!

Looks like someone finally took the super compressor temptation away.

Interesting to see a 14 days returns policy.

Hopefully will have deterred scalpers who otherwise rely on the 60/60.

True. On that basis, 14 or 21 day returns for sales in general would be reasonable.

M&S do that. They now have 35 day returns in general (they used to have forever), but it reduces to 14 at some point in the sale, and I think there is a final point where there no return at all if not damaged.

Those things went fast!

I was looking at the Dragonfly Blue Sealander GMT and I'm happy it was snapped up instantly. :lol:

Glad I missed it by about half an hour. No idea what was up other than the few remaining pieces I can see and what was mentioned here. I'd have been tempted but it would have been my third CW in three months. Likely I could have had another watch to keep me company while sleeping on a park bench after the wife threw me out.

Got the super compressor. Or rather, one of them. The listing didn't disappear till about 5 mins after I bought it, so I assume there were at least a couple.

Just hoping the Mad Watch Collector dude hasn't given a week's worth of tennis lessons with it on!
