I bought mine on the 10th and received the shipping notification on the 13th. It's got a fair way to go though, as I live in Australia....

Ordered a 'flyer' on the 11th. Email on the 21st Friday, to say that it will be here today.

I have come in quite late to this thread and have not read every bit of it so this may have already been answered.

I really don,t see why CW don,t have their own eBay page ( other company,s do it ) and list all discontinued/reduced/NN watches at full list price with a buy it now price and make an offer.

So, a "New" C60 mkii old logo rrp is whatever £660 we can "buy it now" or "make an offer" of say £400 which can be set to an amount of accept or decline.
Doing this would bypass all the other profiteers on ebay and could even make them more than the sale prices.

Note, that i DO NOT have any problem with the ebay sellers, just that this thread has more than a few members complaining they have missed out on a sale item including me missing out on one ( didn,t have the funds when sale started)

I think their own ebay shop is a good idea, but I don't think they have enough resource to keep on top of it - you can buy from CW and it sometimes takes 2 weeks before it's processed, can't see many ebay buyers accepting that!
Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

If CW had an ebay shop, they wouldn't be 50% off (they sell for more on ebay and ebay fees would be added in). You would ultimately pay what the resellers are charging.

In my opinion, it would cheapen the brand far beyond what people perceive with a 50% clearance sale. What would people think if a premium watch company had to hock their old merchandise on a third party site? Desperation maybe? It looks far better just to move the stock quickly, wipe their hands of the old stock, allow people to buy watches that were possibly outside of their means before, free up capital to invest in new models/production runs... etc.

More or less, it would be a big step backward for the business.

The re-sellers get the jump on us mere mortals by keeping their ears to the ground and constantly checking the CW website and forum for clues and tipoffs. The only way to get the jump on them is to do the same. That's how I managed to secure my recently purchased Typhoon. I made an assumption that they would be reduced for the logo change at some point. I just kept my ears open, as it were. Someone on here postulated that the aviation watches might be next because the typhoons and the C8 Flyers had vanished from the website. I just kept looking on the CW site at every opportunity after that. I think it was five of six days later that they popped up in the sale. I bagged mine at 09:15 and got it the next day! You have to be determined I guess and know what you want. That's how they do it I suppose. Of course, when they press buy, it's for multiple purchases and that reduces our chances, so we've got to be quick. That's life in the real world. And no, I've never bought a watch to re-sell at a profit, nor have I ever sold a watch, yet. That may change though, as my box is full and her indoors said I can't exceed the box slots. :lol:

I ordered a C8 on 16th. I sent CW a quick email earlier this week and they said it would be sent out either tomorrow or Tuesday. So if you ordered around the same time expect that
