A few new pieces have been added to the clearance sale today - and there's one less already 😉🙃

It's a very nice looking watch, if I didn't already have 2 on the way I might have got it myself

Are these watches really "..having been used as press and photography samples..."? The number that get sold and the frequency of these sales leads me to believe that is a disingenuous description. Most of them have to be returned watches, right?

I always assumed that most were customer returns that weren't 100% so couldn't be resold as new

Red bezel C60 on cordura strap 38mm just added. Damn, I was hoping for a red 42mm :)

So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

Managed to get an order in for one of the C65 Trident Automatic Black Dial w/ Bracelet earlier. now to just play the waiting game. Anybody in the US that's ordered from CW have any idea about how much the brokerage fee for DHL is?

There is no duty/brokerage fee for shipments under US$ 800.

I ordered on Tuesday and haven't received a shipping notification yet.. guess they are still pretty busy.

That's awesome if so. I knew the duties limit was $800 but figured since it was coming through courier (UPS/Fedex/DHL) always charged a small brokerage fee for clearing it through customs. maybe not though. this is my first time importing a watch.

One of them has just leapt into my basket. And it checked out all by itself!
