Like boomerangs, they're back... VEV's

Post by alanrolfe01 »

Following in the footsteps of our old friends Birkin and Al Deere the C65 1VEV and 2VEV are back on the CW website. :lol: :lol:

There must be a slow drip feed of supply coming from Switzerland - I don't care I've already got mine :D

I don't think it's a case of 'following in the footsteps of..'
More likely that CW had supply issues as mentioned above. The Birkin & Al Deere, they just couldn't shift, for whatever reason.

I just checked the website and it seems only the 1 Vev is available. It may look too much like the original AM GT to stir interest among those of us who already bought the "last" quartz watch to ever be issued by CW.

At £495 on leather, it looks like you could go for a bracelet, (£600) and then use the loupe voucher to get it back down to £500.

Interesting to see that some are still available… I love my 2VEV and since buying it months ago, I’ve never reset it and it’s still only gained 2 secs :shock:

I'm embarrassed to admit that I have no idea what we are discussing here: I went the website and searched on "C65", "VEV" and "Limited Editions" and I'm no further forward...
C60 MKI, MKII, MKIII: "some",
C6 & C60 Kingfishers,
C600 Tritechs,

So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

I'm not sure that is the case. They were alive and well when the voucher was in full force as well.
