Re: Chat with Chris 2017 Questions
Any chance that we'll see bronze watches from CW in the near future (divers on the first place) ?

Re: Chat with Chris 2017 Questions
Here are the top questions (so far) you want me to ask Chris on our Chat with Chris.
I have listed the last one, but can already tell you the answer.
1. Are we likely to see integrated bracelets for the C1, C3, C5 and C8 ranges soon?
2. Are there any plans to produce a thin 8.5mm case height or less, dress watch with a small second hand and no date window?
3. Any plans for other in-house movements or will you continue to concentrate on development of the SH21?
4. Are there plans for any other sport watches besides the dive watches?
5. Any plans in the pipeline for a for 40mm trident?
Lots of people would be willing to pay extra to get the logo in what many think is the the correct place. This would be a great way to make money. Would you consider say £20-£40 upgrade for this?

What's the intensive/point to buy another CW watch at full price with yet another sale on the horizon?
This is a very pertinent question and deserves an answer.

It really depends on which watch you're interested in. The recent spate of sales is mostly related to the sell-off of old logo watches. If you're interested in a relatively new (as in recently released) watch, you have a few options.SouthLondonEagle wrote:This is a very pertinent question and deserves an answer.
1. Buy one new at full price
2. Wait until a £50/£100 off voucher is available, then buy
3. Wait for one to turn up Nearly New
4. Wait for one to turn up in good used condition
5. Wait until the model is refreshed / updated and buy at 30-50% off
If you start at 1, that's immediate. Counting up, each one will probably take a bit longer and from 3 on you need to be watching the forum and/or the CW website carefully to grab one, as they don't hang around for long (so luck can be a factor, as can persistence and diligence ). A surprisingly large number of people choose option 1 or 2...

Re: Chat with Chris 2017 Questions
It is self-evident from the increase in posts on the subject, that there are ongoing QC problems within CW, to the extent that some are jokingly referred to as the norm. Such problems range from the old chestnuts of watches not being secured in their boxes and damage to the outer boxes when in transit - to the bizarre; wrong watches being sent, repaired watches being sent back with wrong straps, Errors that are visible that really should be spotted before a watch is despatched as well as issues with the movement / crown. This causes particular difficulty for buyers from abroad because of the hassle involved in returning the watch and from reports on here and elsewhere, clearly has the potential to damage the brand.
Is this a concern to you? It certainly doesn't seem so due to the repetitive nature of the problems reported on your very own forum, let alone anywhere else. But if it is a concern, what action do you intend to take to address it?

Re: Chat with Chris 2017 Questions
It is not a top 5 question so someone just needs to step up and ask instead of wondering if it will be.
