CW have confirmed that they will be issuing me with a full refund, so they are happy that the watch is in NEW condition, as it was when I received it and returned it.
For those interested, keep your eyes peeled - it may appear on the CW site soon.
When I offered it for sale, before returning to CW, several US members said they would have bought it, but for the import taxes. Buying direct from CW will minimise such costs, I believe.
Hope it finds a home soon
