I was looking at that one too. I think it's gone now.

Weird how a few of them say COSC and then Not COSC or something similar. Are these watches that have been returned because they were not keeping time to COSC certifications and now they sell then as non-COSC? Seems odd.

Edit: COSC question answered, thanks!

I assumed it meant the certificate was lost, but it doesn't make it clear!

It's clearly stated in the text - just missing the certificate

There are quite a few left but there were at least 185 when it went live two hours ago.



Just the COSC quartz C7 left in prototypes, maybe because the text says -4/+6 SPD

only 58 when I first noticed

Lol fair enough didn’t notice that it was just the certificate, must have rushed onto the next watch. Was kind of hoping the old logo watches would come up as end of line and be half price or there would be a prototype C63 Elite or colchester. Maybe next time.
Just went back to C63 colchester No COSC page on my phone and didn’t see anywhere that it was with No COSC certificate just said No COSC, but makes sense. Maybe different on desktop.

*** Edit the C63 Elite does say in the text that there’s no COSC certificate. I must have just saw the Colchester one where it doesn’t say that and assumed all were the same. ***

Looks like the models with No COSC certificate had an extra 5% off to make 35% discount over the nearly new discount of 30%.

I'm slowing down in my old age. I can't keep up now.

You're right - that description doesn't explain "no COSC", someone forgot to add it as it's also Nearly New. It should have something like this in the text at the top: "One thing to note: this particular C60 Abyss SH21 is sold without its COSC certificate.", taken from here, there was an equally clear but completely different version on the Sealander Elite.

'No COSC' simply means that the COSC Certificate has gone AWOL somewhere along the line.

Its not viable for CW to get a duplicate / new certificate so it gets put up in the sale at a discount.

The watch is otherwise exactly as it should be.

I think the pick of the bunch was the red/black 42mm C60 Trident Pro with 45% off. What else can you buy for £400 in these inflationary times?

I have this watch but the 38mm version on bracelet that I bought in the last summer sale, and it is a great piece.

Yeah totally makes sense it’s not with the certificate and they had so much to do to prepare the sale there was bound to be little things like this on some of the pages. Least everyone who got the No COSC watches will be happy they haven’t had the movements swapped out

I strongly suspect the pick was a prototype that someone grabbed near instantly - at least one stunner has appeared on the forum after every prototype sale I've been aware of.

Doubt there were (m)any better bargains than that C65 though

Was only interested in the Super Compressor or C60 Elite and both gone. Sadge.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but it just doesn’t feel like a proper sale without the Al Deere popping up.

I missed out out on the C63 Sealander Prototype just as i went to add to bag it went to greyed out and wouldn't let me add and went out of stock... Gutted!

It's worth checking tomorrow when the sale goes public - they usually add more stock and probably had a few old logo Super Compressors that need shifting so wouldn't be surprised to see them reappear.

You're right!

Guess the very happy actual pilot really did get the last one in the last sale. A fitting end to the line I would say.
