Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Yip all gone I'd say as it is no longer on the website and the home page has gone back to the Orange Sapphire.
Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Do you think it was the design or price that moved the inventory so quickly?
Because the design was sort of love or hate, I think the attractive price point was just low enough to get consumers to pull the trigger.

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Confirmed on Instagram that they sold out in 22 hours. I’d imagine the price was a big factor. Did it instantly become CW’s cheapest non-quartz offering?

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Wow! I’m already too late to pass comment! I think it’s a bit unfair to suggest that it was just the price that led to these selling so quickly. I think it’s a good heritage design adding to a line of previous well-met examples from other makers. Not sure I’d class it as a marmite watch.
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Personally, i loved the design and immediately wanted it, saw the price and ordered straight away. If it had have been £1000 i wouldn't have ordered it. So take from that what you will.

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
I probably would've pulled the trigger, but they still haven't shipped my c63 yet. I'm trying not to buy my next watch until the previous one arrives.That way I can call it "expanding my collection" instead of a "watch buying spree"

Well played CW. Does nothing for me but they obviously know their audience.

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
I don't think it could just be the price, after all, how inexpensive would something you don't like have to be for you to buy it? But at under £500, it was a good buy for a genuinely limited edition. That has to be a factor - someone in design & marketing has really earned their wage this week!I think it’s a bit unfair to suggest that it was just the price that led to these selling so quickly

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Interesting looking watch. Kudos for CW for adding some variety to the C65 range, notwithstanding it's a nod to an oft used vintage design. That must be their fastest sold out LE ever. Probably not for me as I have the C65 well represented in my collection with the Dartmouth and Ombre. I'm also not massively keen on handwound watches (for the inconvenience of requiring regular winding) although I make an exception for my Panerai which at least has an 8 day PR.

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Obviously a very popular choice at a great price! I would probably have been more interested if I had understood what the heck the dial was about!
I know it’s decompression tables, so don’t tell me, but I don’t have a Scuba-Doo about how to interpret them!

Re: C65 Divetimer Special Edition
Spotted earlier and duly ordered. Not on the bracelet alas, but that can follow later.
The Anthropocene has gone again too!
