Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

Clicked my tracking link and it says arriving by the 27th, which happens to be when I’m out all day visiting relatives. :? Just a thought on how the first batch was picked, have any of the lucky 21 gone for an engraved case back? Mine too but the key word i'm focussing on in that sentence is BY whi...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

Well, I've had the 'happy email' which has cheered me up a bit, but still with my grumpy trousers on, I see no prospect of delivery before Christmas as CW are expecting delivery on Friday 22nd. With the last date for Christmas delivery being the day before and the unlikely prospect of them working o...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

Thanks welshlad i guess that has to be good news. But in truth it has further compounded my disappointment. Disappointment that the collective buzz of us all getting our watches around the same time and sharing the joy and excitement will now be muted as the delivery will be a drip feed over several...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

My sincere apologies for a lack of update recently. I have been waiting for some news from CW that I can impart to you all. Unfortunately, I still have not heard anything despite regular chasing. Clearly, this does not look promising for Christmas delivery - and no-one is more frustrated and disapp...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

^^^ I have a feeling the memory of delays will fade with time and the enjoyment of the watch and its connection to this wonderful forum won’t be clouded. Or the story of the 2023 LE that was designed and paid for in 22 and delivered in 24 will be a story to chuckle over! I am really hoping so. I'm ...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

I’ve just had the last post warning email. If we don’t hear by tomorrow we aren’t getting this for Christmas. However that doesn’t really matter to me, as long as the 2023 FLE arrives in 2023. Having a watch designed, ordered, and paid for in 2022, but delivered in 2024 while still called the 2023 ...

Re: Your Favorite British Bands from the 80's

Some great examples already but for some great lyrics, although more folk/pop rock than New Wave, it can only be Waking Hours by Del Amitri. (They did other great albums but this one snuck into the 80s by the skin of its teeth)

Re: Christmas Presents

No great watchy plans beyond hoping for the arrival of a certain Forum FLE :lol: Same here! The Forum LE is last years Christmas present! This year...no watches, I'm trekking to Everest Base Camp at Easter so my entire Christmas list is made up of various bits of kit. (Watches for the trip already ...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

I have not had any further update yet from CW, although I have recently asked for one. For now, I'm taking that as "no news is good news", but I will chase them up again. After chasing them up again, I received an update from CW earlier today. The good news is that everything is still on ...

Re: Inside Daniel Craig's Iconic James Bond Watch Collection

I really enjoyed that. I’m a Bond geek, have been for as long a as I’ve been a watch geek and I love DC. Nice to see he’s just like us and not only into watches because Omega give him loads of them.

Re: C63 Celest

I really like that. The Moon-thingy didn't really float my boat, but I liked the dial. This does the trick and is the first new CW to tempt me for a while. I'm broke so I won't be buying, but if I could...I might!
