Much of it sold already but the listings are not clearing quickly (enough) so it appears that more is available than actually is.

I'm so sorry, I'll keep quiet in future.

Yes a few new ones. Interesting that they keep adding, so there is no real need to be early the day before.
I now bought a Trident pro 300 38mm on a rubber plus a Bader bracelet for less money than the same watch on the Bader without rubber

During the last sale, after the preview day I noticed that stock often gets added between 10:00 GMT and 17:00GMT which makes sense if it is a manual process and staff needs to be available.

There are enough men with smaller (than average) wrists and/or who prefer to wear 36mm, 38mm, and 39mm watches but I too am surprised so many 36mm and 38mm watches remain unsold.

Again, in my experience from the last sale there is no point in looking and/or refreshing after 18:00 GMT because nothing new gets posted until the next day after about 10:00 GMT.

The 36mm models seem to mostly be the Twelve. The steel models I think are the less obvious colours (although the lichen is lovely, the purple isn’t doing it for me). The two tone twelves are beautiful, especially the Alto, but they’re still pricey and fairly niche (that said, if I’d noticed the Alto, I might have gone for it rather than a stainless steel model…)

Not sure why the titanium models aren’t moving. Maybe consumers don’t really care about titanium on a smaller watch?

I don‘t have to stop looking because nothing new is added but because of my credit card 😂


But it would be interesting to see if any more lumière will pop up.
I did not see the orange one

I too was looking for an orange lumière but made a couple of impulse buys instead. Credit card will be painful :D

We prefer to use the term, "differently wrist enabled". :lol:

Only watches 38mm and under are left at the moment.
I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 11 followers and counting!

I feel they would restock the sale inventory before the weekend. I wonder if they discovered any surprises of old stock when CW moved offices.

I guess I was wrong assuming the early access was not worth it because they keep restocking the sale. I don’t see any more lumière popping up, and the early access sale had some bel cantos
