CW web store - weird stuff happening?

Post by AJelley »

Hi folks, silly question, but does the CW website sometimes do weird stuff? I am seeing the C60 Atoll in the LE section & it is simultaneously in stock and sold out… Is that just a glitch in the matrix? Schrödinger's Watch? Is it a cunning ploy to make me want one that’s totally not working honest to goodness?

^^^^ It's 'In Stock' as opposed to being on 'Pre-Order' but thereafter the 'SOLD OUT' status will apply until someone at CW removes the listing.

I guess there was only one or two pieces available when listed sometime earlier today and this / these have now been sold.

And half the active forum members trot over to the CW store "just to see if there's anything special lurking in a corner".

That happened to me yesterday while I was drifting on the site. The Lucerne Blue 39mm Sealander showed as In Stock.

The new stock control and website team are taking a little while longer than anticipated to settle into their new roles.

I just managed to buy an Atoll. Well, they’ve taken my money and the order shows as ‘Being prepared for despatch’ so it’ll be interesting to see what happens next :-k

Maybe there were 1 or 2 remaining but who knows as they're presently showing as "In Stock" but "Sold Out". :problem:

Best of luck.

Hmm, yes, I have discovered if you add an engraving you can get it into your basket. Not sure if I have the funds (or the guts) to checkout yet though... :?

This definitely happened while I was shopping on the site! Differing messages between being in stock and unable to actually add to bag, or able to add to the bag but then getting an error during checkout
