1. Please consider publishing service price guidelines so that we know what to expect. Other brands manage this and as an "internet only" brand it would be a useful way of communicating "future cost" expectations to customers.
2. Is there any way to come up with a contest to give away the lonely C60 SH 21 COSC that has become a regular feature of sales events?
If that fails can the marketing team find some way to turn it into a mascot for the brand. (I have an original one and it's rather sad to see one hanging about. Oh, the perils of a limited edition that wasn't that limited).

I'm sure they have or had more than 1 White SH21 Trident that was in clearance. Wera offered me one at 50% off in April '17.
Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

Re: Questions - Chat with Co Founders - London GTG / CW Event - 31st August 2019
There may be another way to approach that question. People with long-term memories, please forgive me if I’m wrong and correct me, but I seem to remember that a few years ago they did advertise standard service costs on the website. So the question might well be – why did you stop doing it?albionphoto wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 12:23 pm 1. Please consider publishing service price guidelines so that we know what to expect.

Absolutely. In the past there was a service price menu on the website. Why did it disappear?Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:There may be another way to approach that question.

Re: Questions - Chat with Co Founders - London GTG / CW Event - 31st August 2019
Perhaps the question should be to reconsider including the service costs on the website again? I think it is a useful thing to have published. My memory needed jogging but it was available information in the past as Downer and AVO and it really should be again.
The internet being what it is, it may not stop all the noise but at least CW can claim that the information was available.

As CW are now pushing the envelope with design and price - will they commit to holding a sufficient level of parts for the foreseeable future, eg. spare cases, bezels etc that use unique parts on the higher value watches, such as those costing £2500+. So if something breaks or a watch is damaged something can be done to restore it back to or close to it's original state.
Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

Why do CW no longer supply a report of repairs for warrantee work?

Will the sound be better this time? I'll miss the "chat" live this time and will have to catch up on youtube. Better sound please so that even if I cna't hear the words I can at least tell if someone is speaking.

Re: Questions - Chat with Co Founders - London GTG / CW Event - 31st August 2019
My question:
Are there any plans to fit an automatic, COSC certified, in-house movement to the smaller sized CW watches, ie models at 38mm?
I understand the SH21 is simply too big, but, to me, one of the stand-out positives of the CW lineup is the sub-40mm case size models, as well as the fact that CW can design and make their own in-house movements. It’s just a shame the two concepts don’t go together, yet.
