Great addition Lance :clap:
Did you go for the white dial version or the black or green ?
Thanks Ferg, white dial with black subdials... a true Panda look!

I’ve ordered the same and see what you mean about the strap, described in the text as black but pictured on blue canvas.

Possibly just the original description but with these watches being assembled from their end-of-life spare parts bin?
Hi Tim. Hoping it ships with the Black canvas or hybrid strap, but will live with the blue if that's what arrives. Blue would likely see duty on my C60 Scooter Blue with other options assigned to the C7 Rapide from the existing strap drawer.

I’d be interested to know how the fitment is on your C9. I picked one up in last year’s sale but the endlinks didn’t fit snugly. Apparently their are at least two different endlinks for the C9 variations. Mine is a JH but I surmised the endlinks were for a five day which has a different case back. I couldn’t confirm this from CW as the just told me to send watch back with the new bracelet (from the US). As they had already misplaced it previously for numerous months during a warranty repair, I declined and modified the endlinks to a perfect fit.

Nothing for me. Last new watch was in November 2018.

Same here. Definitely a keeper as long as it all goes through ok [-o<
I received order confirmation straight away and have just this morning had a despatch email for the 38mm.

For what it's worth Mike, I didn't receive any acknowledgment or despatch emails from CW for my 40mm GMT purchase in December.
The only things I had were a PayPal invoice and DPD notification of delivery.

I used PayPal for both purchases :?

When I check I’ve not had the confirmation email, nor is is showing as an order in my history.

Might be CW and their systems but not sure if it’s others impacted as well as me
Got the email right away, and the watch is set to arrive to day in Iceland. Must say, quite impressed.

They must have done a lot of work on how to manage and support sale times. So far the systems have stood up, systems have remained responsive, and timely notifications on orders. So far so good CW (as it should be :) )

No watches this time round but as per a few old faithfulls early comments i hopefully snapped up a C3 Mk1 bracelet at a silly price :clap: :D
Been after one for a long while and whilst its not the original i'm hoping its a good look
Nice to have the weightier clean steel option ..... although not to knock a whole raft of great standard strap options i've had on my C3 over the years

Fingers crossed its not an over sale and gets cancelled

Happy hunting all

Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye on that, it's news to me. My C9 is a BDD LE so we'll see. Thanks for the heads-up.

Sorry to hear that, there are some bronze Mk 2s when I last looked? I didn't even get an email from CW. I just happened to see a link posted by one of the CW Facebook member.

There's always the chance of a return under the 60/60 warranty, so keep looking. You might get lucky.

Excellent !
You could always buy the bracelet for it which is currently in the strap sale.
