Guy,
Thank you for transcribing our questions and sorting out as many answers as possible. I can only imagine the hassle you’ve went through in successfully achieving this.
The new C1 moonglow sounds very interesting!

Bronze Aviators are a possibility, but not until after the revamp of the Aviator range in 2020.

Re: Questions - Chat with Chris - Manchester GTG - 27th April 2019
Perhaps my answer was too succinct. Of course new designs, cases etc. are factors involved.Mikkei4 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 11:04 pmSo the increase in sales has nothing to do with new designs and better styled cases? Why spend the R&D and production costs on new models then?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:58 pmComment by Mike France;-
The present logo is proving very successful and there is currently no plan to change it.
However, looking at brands in all fields, i.e. Rolex, Nike, Coca Cola to name just three, Companies do change their logos periodically.
So, never say never.
Guy
You'll have to excuse my questions but us older people do get a bit stubborn whereas the younger generation simply like what they like for the short term and then move on when they're bored with something.
However, as Mike France pointed out, CW have the clear information of the result on sales of the logo change to the current position on the C60 Trident Pro 600 which was released with the V_2 logo and later changed to the current, V_3 logo, whereupon there was a noticeable step up in sales.

Not got a SatNav, although I do use Maps on my phone at time, where the GPS marker is useful to see where I am, mostly in towns.Essex Paul wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2019 1:39 pm Crikey an Atlas. Remember my dad using one of those. Thank goodness for Satnav
Drive safely Guy.
Thank you for you help on routes Chris; worked a treat. The Hardnot Pass was an experience, notwithstanding most of it being shrouded in low cloud and rain!

I've provided answers for as much as I am able and apologies for the few questions that did not get asked.
CW tried to limit the Chat to an hour, it overran of course, and there were plenty of questions from the floor too.
That's it. Done.

Re: Questions - Chat with Chris - Manchester GTG - 27th April 2019
Thanks Tim.
Not too much hassle fortunately.
Final point; I'm hoping to get a new YouTube link for the full 'Chat' to allow those who were not able to watch it live yesterday afternoon, the opportunity to see it.

Cool. PR = my personal favourite complication and I am sure Thunder1 would agree.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:52 pmPower Reserve variants of the SH21 are the most popular; expect more.
Day/Date not asked.

Many thanks for collating and fielding the questions - much appreciated.

Very helpful indeed Guy, Many Thanks mate
Re: Questions - Chat with Chris - Manchester GTG - 27th April 2019
Geez Guy,
Instead of the C60 being given away as a prize I think you deserve it for all the time and effort you have put in.
Thanks for asking and then transcribing the answers.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Questions - Chat with Chris - Manchester GTG - 27th April 2019
This sounds very interesting.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:18 pmIt is a project in conjunction with Armin Strom. Like the C7 Apex it will be skeletonised front and rear with, for the first time, a display back on a CW diver. WR will be 300m. Design sketches are in the next edition of Loupe and expect the price to be in the region of £3,500.
Pity it's not 'son of resonance', rather than a skeleton!
The quoted price above is less than 50% of Armin Stroms entry level offering, so it will fascinating to see what emerges.
