Ive posted a few whinges in the past months about shoddy and downright pants service from CW, and promised myself they would never get a penny from me again. The only thing keeping me on this forum, was the members and general overall love of watches. (CW's included).
In the prototype sale, I broke my promise to myself and "bought" one I couldnt resit. Obviously my luck being my luck, I was second to the party and my order has been cancelled and payment refunded.
Im pleased to say, the combination of Vallen, and James Hillard, have absolutely restored my faith in the whole outfit. Although ive nothing bought, the absolute gold standard of customer service I feel ive got needs mentioning, as I know a few others have had problems/complaints recently.
Credit where its due. I hope any others who have had a similar experience, find theres still nice people at CW towers that genuinely want to help.

Re: Faith restored in CW
Very curious as to what they did after making a complete mess that was impressive without resulting in a purchase. It took two of them so maybe they wrote and sang you an apology duet down the phone?!

I believe the standard remedy on the many times this has happened before is to offer an alternative with the same discount... more difficult with prototypes!

Re: Faith restored in CW
Always good to hear of Credit where Credit is due, Paul and glad that, not only have you returned to the forum in recent weeks, but that faith has been restored.
Top notch.
You never know, it might pay to keep an eye on the Clearance page over the next few days.

Re: Faith restored in CW
Personally, I've found their service to be extraordinary. Once time I missed out on a sale item by seconds (despite my Flash-like checkout speed ) and when they emailed me to inform the item had been sold, they offered me another watch at the same discount. My choice! Unbelievable service. Can't say enough good things about CW's CS and I have 100% confidence in them making it right should an instance arise. So far, after about 6-7 purchases of watches and straps, it's all been great.
I'm glad you are back in the positive camp

An epic rendition of "Islands In The Stream" won me over totally!!! If Vallen doesnt look like Dolly and James doesnt look like Kenny, im sulking again!!!
Theres an offer of sorts in the mix but far from simple. Money refunded anyway until something can be done but it'll be a while. Im saying nowt else yet, as my luck is absolutely shocking!
Its more the genuine nature of both of them, and willingness to sort something. Thats the opposite to what ive experienced the last few times.
Small things can make a big difference.

Re: Faith restored in CW
CW seemed to lose that flexibility and personal touch a few years back. Good to see that they’re rediscovering something that they were well known for in the earlier dayssuicidal_orange wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 9:59 amThat is indeed what excellent customer service is about
