I wish they would stop groping around the back of the drawer for sale items and send me my damn watch.
Maybe stop posting all these negative things because it might make you a happier person if you focused on the positive, you are going to be getting a very cool watch.

Ordered on the first day of the sale and it’s still marked as “pre order”. I also went a bit wild and ordered 4 more straps!
I am worrying a bit that there is no change on the watch itself. I will be particularly annoyed if it’s not available as there were plenty of opportunities to buy the white GMT in the sale.
I was thinking to leave it till after the weekend and maybe send a chase up email?
Don't send a follow up email. Read my post about Customer Service linked below.

I’ll keep waiting. If it doesn’t arrive or gets cancelled I’ll probably return everything else and have a rethink.
Would be a shame as I’m quite sold on the CW brand now.
This seems like the definition of "cutting of your own nose to spite your face".

C63 Sealander 39mm Blue on hybrid rubber
1-14-2025 Tuesday - Order email
* not yet processed.
My C63 Sealander on the Blue Hybrid has also been stuck in limbo since I ordered on the 10th!! The status still says "preparing for dispatch". Unsure why... I'm new to CW and this was my first order. Getting a bit nervious if its unavailable... since 5 days later I ordered the consort bracelet for it.
You edited out maybe the most important point of my post...

These seem like very good turn around times from order to shipping based on their extra order volume during these types of sales.
CW is not Amazon. When CW has a (winter) sale it is not like during the holidays when Amazon adds 10s of thousands of workers. CW Staff is doing at least twice the work with the same amount of staff.
We should be praising them and not vilifying them.
To all the CW newbies (and old timers), please be patient. It's not like this is a life and death situation. You are getting a watch so if it takes a few days longer so be it. Do not let it ruin your overall long term happiness for a few extra days it may take for your order to be processed and shipped to you.
If you need something to distract you and have not already done so please read my long-ish
post about Customer Service otherwise drink some herbal tea, meditate, read
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or whatever you can do put this all in perspective.
If I am being introspective and/or Zen, as a younger man I would be one the many people posting about why my watch has not yet arrived. As a 50+ year old man, I simply do not care. It will get here as soon as it is supposed to get here in a few days, a week, a month, or whenever.
As one gets closer to death and starts counting every minute, you realize work is not as important as you once thought it was and neither is stuff.
