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?
Yep. I ordered a consort bracelet which arrived after a week, I am still awaiting my white dial GMT Sealander-it says pre-order. I’m sure it will arrive in due course with the 4 straps I ordered. They answered my email regarding the invoice address being incorrect (my error).

Hopefully now the sale has ended things will progress quickly for us all.

I'm surprised the strap I ordered from the sale on the 16th is still "being prepared for despatch." No big deal or anything, just thought it would be out the door by now.

My bracelet is in the same boat. No big deal for me either as it is a spare.

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 also!

Same here. Bought a bunch of straps to add some new dimensions to the current selection and don't mind the wait. Excited to get them though.

Following the strap delivery today, the main event is happening tomorrow.

As a guide for those who are concerned about wait times, my watch was ordered on 13/01 and was shipped today (21/01) for delivery tomorrow (22/01). Emails have been received from CW for both order confirmation and dispatch, plus an email from DPD advising that they are expecting to deliver tomorrow.

My advice…. If you’ve received an order confirmation, just wait for the dispatch email. CW have your order; emailing to ask where it is will just add unnecessary load to the CS team. Patience.

I ordered a watch and a straight on 14th. The strap went to shipped today, but not the watch. I guess we've got another day or so. :(

My last post in this thread - my final order, placed 14th Jan is now showing shipped. Hopefully it won't be long for anyone still waiting as there certainly wasn't a lot of stuff on sale at that point. :D

StrappedUp wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 2:25 pm Twas I ... curiosity got the better of me. Mainly because when the 300 was released, my initial thoughts were that they would have looked even better with the red/orange accents switched on the black/blue. That view still hasn't changed, so this could be a very good find indeed!

Although I did see a standard black(w/red) 300 on orange hybrid listed and it just looked plain strange. Wonder if someone at CW simply thought it'd look better on the website photoshopped the same colour! :D
I agree that the black/red was never my favorite TP300 color combo. I hope you really love it when it arrives. Wear the heck out of it. Please post pictures of the front and back.
Okay, so when I joked about someone altering the website photo from red -> orange :problem: ...

I am so sorry. I was really hopeful you would be getting a black dial with orange accents. Putting a Black/Orange strap on a Black/Red watch is silly. Contact Customer Service because maybe they will offer you a further discount and send you the Black/Red strap as well. If not, send it back.

If you need them, I still have pics of the listing (or go back through this thread and download the pics).

No need to be sorry. I'm trying to rid myself of the things, not buy them! :lol:

It was more a curiosity exercise, although I'd have kept it had it looked great in person.

My order has moved from pre-order to preparing for dispatch. The excitement is growing ever more.

@nycWATCHnerd @StrappedUp

CW did have a number of black/red hybrids in the sale. If they still have one maybe they would exchange your strap.
