Were there any screen caps of the prototypes? When I saw the email and signed on there were 47 items listed and now at 39. Tried to snag a Worldrimer but Add button was deactivated. Several nice watches at nice prices but nothing for me.

I saw two C63 prototypes but couldn’t make out if there was anything distinctive to them. Anyone else notice any interesting details on the prototypes?

They had the logo on left and date at 3 but otherwise no differences so IMO not particularly special compared to production versions.

I saw 7 prototypes, they all looked normal (no lime green or yellow :() but the C7 had "more silver dials than the production model".

Ah well, was in the office and got the email notification too late, I was tempted by one but by the time I clicked add to basket it had gone.

I'll try and keep more of an eye out tomorrow as some more may appear.

^^^^ There was also a C60 Apex Prototype serial number #0000, identical to the production model, for c. £2,880; as I recall.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the C65 Sandhurst. I've had that watch in my cart for so many months and now I snag one in the sale. I'm a happy bunny!! I believe this is COSC also right?

Yes; the C65 is a Chromometer i.e. it is COSC rated.

C65 Sandhurst

Very happy to have picked up the C65 Trident GMT today. Not very happy about explaining to my wife how I accidentally hit the "Purchase" button by mistake. Especially after buying the Atoll last week. I hope they have good lume, I might need it for lighting up the dog house.

I managed to snag one of the green C63 automatics I've been pining for. It's on the strap instead of the bracelet, so I'll have to snag a bracelet at some point. Maybe I'll get lucky, and they'll add some before the sale is over...
