@nbg I can completely understand that side too. I suppose at the end of the day everyone just wants their watches as soon as possible!

I actually did order a non sale watch since the start of the sale. Ordered on the 20th, dispatched today. I was told it would be the end of last week, but I'm in the camp of not being fussed about a few extra days' wait, which in any case can be minor relative to customs delays. Just excited for it to arrive.
I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 16 followers and counting!

However I would take a different view…

If I had ordered a new watch, say a newly released Dune at full price, I would not be pleased if sale items were shipped before non sale items.

To be specific I think that non sale items sold at RRP should be given priority.

Hmmm, not sure about that one.

Let's say you were stood in the queue at Holland Cooper with a handsomely discounted, double-breasted jacket in hand, and the cashier keeps allowing all the "full price" customers to jump in front of you.
You're paying what they're asking, so not sure there is a case to be treated differently.

Still communication is poor - the despatch note gives no clue as to what is being sent... when you then click on the link it comes up saying order number xxxxxxx has been delivered - it is only when you dig deeper that it shows that part 1 has been delivered and part 2 is being dispatched - and now lists it as one part of 2 which previously was not noted on that order.
I am going through this now. I received the despatch email notification that had an entirely different order number than the order number supplied when I placed the order.

*checks account status, wonders WTH is going on, emails CS for an explanation*

As someone who deals with logistics, the only thing that makes sense is the billing order number may be different than the pick ticket order number, but somehow, when the email goes out, it sends out the internal pick ticket number.

CW CS has to be bombarded with "WTH is this!?" questions they would not have to deal with if the system was correct and would spit out the billing order number to the buyer.

My "nearly new" strap arrived yesterday. I wasn't thrilled with the look of this one when they released the watch but I have to say on the wrist I really like it. Definitely gives it a new look and it's very comfortable. Good change-of-pace strap. This is now the 4th strap I have for this watch. This hobby is a disease I swear!

My hybrid blue strap arrived the other week. Got it on my white dial TP300. Gives it a nice little colour change.
