Certainly. C60 40mm in blue and 42mm in white. These join my C63 GMT in Dragonfly that I already own

They clearly know by now that these sales generate huge interest, but new customers will expect quick delivery as per the rest of the year. So it’s not a great experience for people who sit waiting for order updates, with no updates from CW
You have 10 watches? Wow, cripes

As much as I love and don't regret any spending personally. It isn't going to add anything to your life that is necessary. It's a superfluous, expensive and time consuming hobby. Life can be full without a single watch. Don't let us get you started on what is genuinely an addiction.

Absolutely not against forum etiquette, it’s a valid opinion and neatly expressed.

There are plenty of other ways to squander time and money.

No. Nor Nirvana nor Enlightenment.

Initially more watches will help you to acquire more watches, which in turn will help you to acquire more watches.

It is possible to break out (some have done so successfully) or you can make the conscious decision to avoid the rabbit hole and maybe disappear into a different one.

Got the watch I ordered in the first minutes of the sale. Waited a bit too long, but worth it. Perfect condition, could only notice a couple of micro scratches on the back. 42mm.

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.

Oh how true !
Unfortunately this is normally only learnt by getting older.

I've had 2 experiences today that probably would have had me cursing and shouting when younger but now it's "chill" as I have no idea of what was happening to those on the other side of the experience.

Interesting find...wish it were 42mm.
More interesting:
C60-38ADA31S0KK1-HK (new, 38mm black dial with red accents, black/black hybrid rubber strap 20-HYB-01-SXK-DC-ST)
N60-38ADA31S0KK1-HKO (NN, 38mm black dial with orange accents, black/orange hybrid rubber strap N20-HYB-01-SXKO-DC-ST)
- Was this an LE, SE, or Bespoke?
I know it is only 38mm but I am still surprised nobody has bought this oddball black and orange Trident pro 300.

Thanks for the info! I saw the sale and bought it Thurs night. And then afterwards, I was only seeing the black and red across the internet (when I was hoping it was actually orange

- and second guessing if it was a photo error. Excited my first CW will have my preferred color accent!

Just a piece of information for the interested. Even though the sale officially ended at midnight on Friday, it is still possible to purchase some of the sale items at a discount. Simply type in “Clearance” using the CW site search tab & it will bring up the list of straps & bracelets that are being cleared from inventory. There are some watches on clearance if you don’t mind paying full price.

^^^ Good call. You can also go straight to christopherward.com/sale to get to sale items!

Does the fact that there were a lot of hybrid strap in the sale indicate that CW might be changing the range of hybrid straps?

Post by **Bahnstormer_vRS** » Sat Jan 18, 2025 9:52 pm

^^^^ Considering how all the new releases of the last 4 - 6 months are on the new Aquaflex straps; yes.

Please post pics of the watch, front and back, when it arrives.

They look like old favourites that keep coming and going

edit. I think they won't move quickly as there is no direct link to the sale page that I can see.
