Well, on the Euro site I ordered in late May

22mm - Leather - Black - Deployment C8SXK €25.00
20mm - Leather - Black - Butterfly C61SXK €25.00
20mm - Leather - Black - Butterfly C90SXK €25.00

Total with €3.95 shipping was €78.95. On my Canadian Visa bill it came it at $110.84. That's within pennies of what http://xe.com/ said the exchange would be, so my Visa didn't charge exchange fees.

It looks like the strap sale is over, so I can't give a comparative price on what it would have cost had I ordered the three from the US site.

Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

Yes reggie747, I know what the price was in Euros, as I ordered it through the EU site, it was 30 Euros, not the £30 as advertised on the UK site, so it was cheaper. Just waiting to see what exact exchange rate was at time of purchase!! Didn't know what the exact rate was before I pressed SEND :problem:

I glanced at this PO yesterday and though I'd have a quick peek.....I managed to resist ordering one for at least an hour ! Anyway, had the confirmation email about an hour after ordering and guess what turned up in this mornings post.....the strap. Now, thats what I call service.

Looks great in my C11 !!

Looks like the prices have been corrected.

The C8 aviator and the C2/C20 are now both priced at €65 instead of €30 and €10.

Congrats to those who grabbed a bargain. I should possibly have gone for a spare C20 strap at £8, but I always wear it on the steel bracelet these days, so even though it was cheap, I thought it would probably only sit in the spares box anyway.

Hi omegaaddict - what i usually do is periodically type C then numbers 1 to 9 (individually) in the search box at the top right of the CW homepage to see if there is anything on sale, but not listed as such. It will then list everything against the respective C number. e.g. try typing C2 and it will show the x3 straps previously mentioned. It also lists items still in stock (older stuff) but not shown on the main site. That is how i found the C8 strap, that looks curiously good on my C60 :shock: :shock:

Hope that makes sense?

Well - tried it again in the latest sale - a C70 tan strap from the EU site. Delivered yesterday and just a smidgen under £22 total. That is a saving of £11 if I had bought it through the UK site!
A colleague of mine has also bought a watch the same way - just waiting to see what exchange rate his card company uses, but we worked it out to be at least a £25-30 saving initially, but could be more as the Euro rate is pretty good at the moment :thumbup:
