^^^ I wasn’t expecting that to be the answer! It makes it difficult to understand why, for example, one of the marketing pictures is of the brown bronze on a bracelet, when supply was limited to just a few days. Probably there was an opportunity to make that clearer.

Well, yes.

That was correct at the time they would have gone to print for Loupe and that is the price that applied at Launch.

However, they're now 'out of stock' and, sadly, have no plans for any replenishment.

Their final stock of bronze bracelets was allocated to the C65 Dune Aeolian.

Sincerely hope you get yours Chris.

Yes fingers crossed. They were both ‘in stock’ when I ordered, so hope so!

Agree that it would be a huge shame if they’ve been retired (especially so soon after the new launch) which I think proved just how popular they are!

Dials look great; will CW do a GMT version of the new Dune dials?

No.

The new Dune GMT models do not use the wave textured dial. Had CW thought it a good idea they would have been launched alongside the three handers.
