First sale purchase arrived. I’ve been looking for a yellow strap for this for a while now. I think the colour is actually ok (I'd probably prefer a closer match to the GMT hand), but the head is so chunky that the strap just looks lost. Maybe it needs some bedding in time, but my initial thought is to return it.

Looks great to me

Looks as though the sale is formally over - even the hidden links no longer bring up the sale page now...

All that suspense and tension - now need to await the summer for the next exciting instalment!

The Sale Link is Dead, Long Live The Sale.

^^^^ Yup, looks like we're done until next time.

to be fair there is still some excitement - for me it was the purchase of my first CW watch for some years - 63 Sealander - superb watch... (and a 660 300 PRO if it actually turns up...

there will no doubt still be stories of watches incoming...

I picked up a second MK3 C60 bracelet for about 40% off. The reason I did this is basically for parts as I don't have any confidence that CW would be able to replace even the springbars in 10 years time.

If you search sale or clearance on the US site there is still stuff available and being added. There was a seagrass green c65 aquitane for $624 earlier. There is a shark white attoll when I checked just a minute ago.

Edit.
Well now it does not show anything as well when I just checked again. Maybe it was up for a little while longer for the US? There were definitely still discounted items just 4 hours ago. Or maybe that was a mistake and my last sale purchase is not valid... hope thats not the case.

Is it too early to start speculating on the July sale? I kid.

I'd put money on them not being able to. Mk1 bracelets are like hens teeth.

This is where some other luxury brands show their maturity, they don't change designs so rapidly as to make even ten year old watch parts obsolete.

And they actually have the parts. I hope I never crack my matte black ceramic bezel either.

Shipping confirmation delay

I ordered and received confirmation on the day of the sale but am still waiting on any shipping confirmation of the watch. My inquiries to Christopher Ward have gone unanswered to this point other than the robo email. Anyone else having this issue?

Is this for the C1 Moonglow in Celestial Blue that you posted about before?

It was on pre-order, wasn't it?
