Whilst quite exciting it looks like returns from the recent sale….

Whilst I didn’t buy this time around I tried to introduce a family member to CW - he went all in purchasing 3 watches but sadly all were several weeks in arriving, incorrect and the returns process awful. Based on this experience alone he has decided to go elsewhere.

A real shame for me having recommended CW and for the business as the sale is a great opportunity to gain new customers not lose them through poor service. I can only hope the feedback is taken on board for next time.

Good luck to anyone looking for an unexpected deal though!

That’s rather unfortunate! Maybe not the best time to buy a first CW I guess. Although I’m sure the % of orders with issues is relatively small. But higher than standard orders the rest of the year. Definitely not good for a brand new customer though

I've never been disappointed by a NN watch.
Me neither...I think the duds are few and far between (and usually resolved in positive way).

I am however finding the new sale logistics/strategy extremely odd (in the literal sense of atypical)

85 results in GBP at the moment. Good selection of Trident Pros, Sealanders, Twelves, and a couple of Bel Cantos. A couple of notables:

C60 Sapphire Blue/Silver
C60 Anthropocene GMT
C63 Sealander Bronze COSC
Twelve Halo with a big discount from GBP 2,195 to GBP 1,207
Twelve 36 Alta Gold with a big discount from GBP 2,195 to GBP 1,317

Suspect some of the items listed may be returned or cancelled previous sale items?
The one day I don't check in on the forum I miss out on a sale Sealander bronze COSC? What a cruel world :lol:

Nothing for me this time around.

Instead, yesterday, I paid a visit to a friendly watch dealer in the City (of London) and agreed to buy something light but dark. :wink: :wink:

:shock:

No, no, no. Put it back in the basket immediately! :)

Mine has become a favourite since I bought it a year ago…

More expensive than a Tissot, but no comparison when compared in hand.

Seem to get slightly different results depending on if you go to the Sale page, or type Sale, or type Clearance - FYI

I thought they would be there more than briefly, but I was too late, and the couple I was considering have now gone. :(
I can look on it as saving money :D

Looks like a lot of bracelets and straps. Still no 20mm red/black rubber hybrid though

I bought a new one in the sale at 40% off, but it looks like the NN was another 5% less, so slightly over £100 cheaper. Not to be sniffed at, but I'am happy with the new one.

I've spent about 3 weeks thinking about it, as it's only 36mm, but I've finally decided to keep it, and I am wearing it today. :D

Definitely smaller than my other watches, but the design is a one off and I like the look of it on my wrist.
