Mines arrived and it's definitely a keeper

Just had a despatch email , my red bezel/black face will be with me tomorrow - well ahead of the expected date . They must of restocked quicker than anticipated

I changed my order to the green after seeing that photo, I thought the red in the bright light looked more red than burgundy colored. I have a feeling I'll have a red next year though after I see one in person. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Yes I can see what you mean , I am hoping it's dark...

Still the white date , a major flaw on the previous C8's . Surely by now they could get it colour coded

Not liking it , not a patch on the C8 Mk2 and Flyer name is cheap sounding to me .

Nice watch David
Already regretting selling

It's all getting a bit DFS though innit don't you think ?? Well that is one of the many company's that work that way . I don't think CW are on that level and would hope never are .

When most sale items sell out they sell out and that's your lot .
It's a very interesting way that CW are doing things and I'm not saying it's wrong , just unusual .

Yes and that's a smashing attitude and i am also looking forward to mine .
I also like to understand companies varying marketing strategies .

Fair enough , but I still don't see the need for drumming up demand for a fresh product to the market . If it isn't selling for full price after only a few months then I would be worried . This is just my thoughts , please don't get offended. I love the brand .

Mmmm not sure it's something I would do . Newish product that's out of stock selling in a sale ? .
I would be selling at for full price for an item like that , and yes I do have my own business.
As I said I'm not complaining, I get a cut price time piece
