This might look good on the C65 Worldtimer but I can't see it on the sale page

In previous sales it has been: www.christopherward.com/int/sale

But that does not seem to work this time.

Scroll up . . .it's been posted a couple of time already.

Guy

There does not seem to be a direct link but this works and what I used:
https://www.christopherward.com/int/search?q=sale

I work in IT and like a direct link...

Someone posted this on WUS: https://www.christopherward.com/vip-5fasdfik2

Oh, I see.

I thought you wanted to see the sale, which you can do with the links you've found.

The one you found on WUS is closest to the link from the email.

Nobody, that I recall, has mentioned the brand new, parts bin model (not listed in the CWArchive) at 15% discount, of which there appears to be more than one available.

You talking about those two Elites? Kind of a mish mash that I am not sure really works.

Good spot, Rich.

It's one Elite really, just offered on bracelet and hybrid.

I had the same colourway in a 40mm C60 Trident Pro 600 GMT that I thought worked rather well.

Richie

Yeah, I ordered 1 also and then they seemed to disappear off the sale list pretty quickly so I hope we'll both get them.

Still there if you search "vacona" from the CW home page.

That one was better because there was no orange on the seconds hand or dial where there is on this one. It clashes with the red triangle on the bezel. I get the feeling it would look really odd in person. It would look better if you could repaint the bezel. They should have gotten rid of the underline from 0-16 altogether too. If they had done that I would probably have one.

Good points Rich.

Like I said; Parts bin special; dial from one version, bezel from the other. With multi-colour bits, makes it look like a Farer.

0-16 (or 0-15) underline on the bezel? I've always liked that.

Horses for courses, eh?

Guy

PS> We'll see what it looks like in real life, probably next week.

^^^^ Mind you, I'm beginning to wonder;

Is it Black / Blue . . . . . .


. . . . . or Blue / Black?


Guy

Well thanks to the person that posted the email sale link early ! There were a lot of nice choices early on, I had hoped to snag one of the following: 40mm C60 Trident Pro 300 in Black, the Trident Bronze (Blue), a white dial C60 GMT or the C60 Atoll Reef Blue. I have a black dial and blue dial versions of the Wise Adamascus GMT incoming so that ruled out the C60 GMT and the Trident Pro in Black. I previously owned the Green dial Bronze C60 and didn't gel with it. I made a quick decision on the Atoll in the end as it would be something different for my small collection. For those who missed out, keep checking as there will no doubt be more added over the coming days.

If they left it they should have fixed it to end it at 15. They fixed it on the Beast but never bothered with the Elite.

I think that is an error as the bezel is the stock matte black.
