Won't cancel it though!

On the orange tide strap? One of the few watches that's been available whenever I pressed refresh, including now. Not sure if lots of people tried and returned them or only a couple were brave in the first place and even the sale price hasn't managed to tempt those who were thinking about it

No, I snagged one on the bracelet!

I guess I’m very late to the party. Nothing exciting left for me.

Keep an eye out. It's not over until its over.

There's still time for new additions, possibly of early sales returned under the 60/60 Warranty (of the not for me type) being added back in.

Well I jumped back into C.Ward with these two lovelies.



The Parachute Elite is super light and a good size and the crown is an interesting novelty. Got this as my Dad was in 3 Para and so I will gift this to him.



The Tide Trident I have also liked and the quality upgrade in C.Ward nowadays is fantastic. I struggle to see much difference between this and my Tudor’s, Longines etc. there is still a step up with my Omegas and JLC etc. I always thought 42mm was my wet spot by this does water large with all that dial space and I think a 40mm would be a better size but this will stay for now.

And (puts Fez on), just like that the sale is over. As sales go, I think that one was very, very good indeed.

Well, it got me to finally put my hand in my pocket, even if by accident

Quick search for sale reveals some items still on sale.

Remaining sale items now listed in a Clearance section.

My sale purchase just showed up. I think the gunmetal hands and indexes absolutely make this watch. This is my first #tide strap, and while it is very nice, I think it’s maybe a bit too long for my skinny wrists. It just fits on the last hole, and should be good if it doesn’t stretch at all.

I’m surprised at how much I like this watch. Not a mark on it, as have been all 4 of my nearly new purchases over the years.

Cleared through Customs, so now The Wait...

Congratulations Alex !
Looks great mate.

Since getting a Swatch bracelet adjusted to perfection, over the long wait for my Sealander GMT, I've felt not buying the watch with a bracelet was a mistake. A nearly new bracelet from the sales (see today's CW of the day) corrects that. And goodness these bracelets are good. It took two visits to the local watch lab (my fault) to get it so-so, but now, two on the fly adjustments in, I don't think I've worn anything quite so premium feeling on my wrist.

I think the trick with Tide is to wear fairly loose. It should just grip the side of your wrist.

Black GMT Aquitaine just arrived - dead on arrival. Second hand just not moving at all despite all manner of winding.
