I’ve seen watches (and bought one) listed with 55% off and just assumed it was a returned watch previously listed at 50% off. I couldn’t distinguish the one I bought from a brand new watch, which is not to say that a better eye couldn’t!
I’ve experienced the same. In the recent sale there were two C1 Moonphases, one at 55% off and one at 50%. Needless to say I went for the 55% one and likewise I can’t see anything that would distinguish it from new.

Any idea why there are two ‘new’ as in not NN Al Deere’s on there but at different prices? One is at £1497.50 and the other is £1347.75 (which is the price of the two NNs!)
I noticed a similar price difference on another model's listings, and the lower priced one doesn't include the COSC certificate.
I’ve scratched around the forum and I think you are probably right. I’ve sent a query to Vallen at CW so hopefully I’ll get a reply soon. I’ve no idea what goes on down there in Maidenhead, I bought 00/50 of the C7 Apex LE over a year ago at a lower price (last one) and that arrived with the COSC certificate missing which I queried and they ‘couldn’t find!’ They blamed Switzerland. If I can get the Deere out of them at a reasonable price I’m not bothered about the certificate as it’s a bit of a CW grail for me and I’ll be keeping it. Many thanks Tim & Rich.

I just checked and the less expensive new Deere listing states: "Do note that though this sale model is a certified chronometer – with a tolerance of -4/+6 seconds per day – it doesn’t come with the actual COSC certificate."

Bremont quoted me £80 to replace a lost COSC certificate, they didn’t lose it I might add

The C65 Trident SH21 Bronze I just bought in clearance, was also listed without COSC certificate, which is fine, as long as I know :thumbup:

I did buy a C8 Power Reserve in the January sale, which had the incorrect COSC certificate… CW went out of there way to get a duplicate from Switzerland (from COSC) at no charge, which was good of them :clap:

I'm sorry I didn't get a divetimer when I had the chance, It looks brilliant on the blue strap. :thumbup:
