C8 release update

Post by Kip »

I asked Wera to give us a first hand update on the status of the C8 release and any reasons for its delay. She has promised to keep us updated as much as possible. Her response as follows....

"Hi Kip

Mmm, yes…..buckle supplier for the straps let us down so we’re looking for another 2-3 weeks, say around the 20-25th September for the C8 Launch, we’re working hard to bring this forward, but have no confirmed dates yet…..and above dates are a little pessimistic at this stage….I’d rather improve on this date, then quote an earlier date, and revise it again. I’ve emailed those customers that have contacted me directly with the same information.

Other models still ok, as far as we know…but I’ll know more on Monday.

Catch you later

wera"

At least we know now what is happening but I must admit I am a little disappointed that they have "Launched" a new model without having all their suppliers committed to CWs dates!

Especially as this is the flagship model, a bit annoying really :laserschwert:

But full marks to CWL for keeping us informed at least on the forum.

Cheers

You know what, even though I'm not getting one because of the size being a tad over what I like, I'm really looking forward to you lads getting yours so I can see your reviews. I think the C8 will be a cracker :)

I emailed Wera the other day (who was,once again, working WAY too late :) ) and she stated exactly that, next week,hopefully!

Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Paw300,

Let's hope they send the C8's out in number sequence (the fact I've got No. 4 is purely coincidental!)

Hmmm? I think it was the same person. If not perhaps they will have to bid for it or maybe fight.....

I have ordered number 3. I haven't heard anyone else say they have done the same so I think my wallet and my knuckles are safe for now.

Wera told me as far as she knew they would be with CWL on the 25th Sept.
