I think if they haven't shown up by Monday we might want to try asking for them a bit more urgently. If it takes time to get pricing and shipping details and images right then I can wait a few more days. Not indefinitely but a few more days certainly.

Last time I looked, the website stated 3 strap options for the C65, those being black/brown leather + rubber. It now says 4, but doesn't show a 4th.

Are we about to see the intro of the bracelet option?

Looks good. I did a quick comparison with the Casebudi https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013J0K9OO/ ... _lig_dp_it which until now was my goto but the CW looks superior:

symmetrical regular shape
insert
lower cost.

Outstanding!

Three watches. Don't forget the one on your wrist. :wink:

We have asked for them to be made available for years and we are finally getting our wish. Watch for them!
Great to see that Chris is a man of his word.....not that I ever doubted it.

I think the service pods being up for public sale is a great idea. I also happy that Chris was able to trim the retail to less than discussed.

Good to see that many are buying!

And just when I discovered I am a one-watch traveller! :evil:

Seriously, I have a couple and they are great. Along with the brilliant Oakley Watch Vault, an Omega service pod which is a bit bigger and the pretty but less useful Cartier service pouch in attractive red velveteen complete with satiny white pillow. :lol:

I’m building a pod collection...

As I tend to be a one-watch traveller, none of these get much use - although the Tudor one is my first choice, as it is pocket-friendly whilst offering some basic protection.

Looks great, and much cheaper than Chris’s original fag packet estimate. I have a couple of watch rolls and a duplex case and they aren’t suited to the watches I have on deployants (without removing one side). This pod design is better suited to a bracelet too. Respect to CW for reacting so quickly to customer feedback. Impressive.

The Rolex looks similar, though perhaps more likely to attract a roving eye in an airport?

They are identical, Steve - apart from the garish green and of course, the logo. The Tudor is definitely a bit more low-key.
