Re: Bluebird
Very interesting. Disappointing to have to read it on a different forum but interesting nonetheless.

Apologies if I read it wrong, do you think the c70 GPs aren't tastefu?

Re: Bluebird
One might think that this information should be posted on this forum, but it makes commercial sense to send it to WUS. WUS is much bigger than CWF so it delivers more exposure to CW's target market. Hopefully though, it'll send more people here to find out about the customer experience.

Yes,but there is nothing to stop it being posted on both forums. As mentioned before....Loddonite wrote:....it makes commercial sense to send it to WUS. WUS is much bigger than CWF so it delivers more exposure to CW's target market.
...or at least at the same time.androo wrote: Not saying CW owe us anything but as the forum is always used in media to show how close they are to their people then maybe it would have been nice to hear such major news first.
Still,maybe i'm just being picky...
It will certainly be interesting to see what the designs look like....does one need to keep an WUS for that?
If you can read this you are too close to your computer screen....

Great to see Chr getting involved with the Bluebird project.
However, call me a bitter and twisted old cynic, but I stuggle to understand the difference between a partnership and a sponsorship in this context....

Not a comment on GPs. I just think this might be more classic.

Re: Bluebird
Exactly my thoughts when I looked at the article on the web site 30 mins ago. I would be willing to put money (not a massive amount ) on the prices of the Bluebird Range being more than those of the cousins of the standard range/s.downer wrote:Great to see Chr getting involved with the Bluebird project.

I would not be adverse to paying a premium for something truly unique.

Re: Bluebird
I'm not starting rumors here and I'm not saying I did or didn't hear this, but someone might have said the first 10 Bluebird watch buyers get to test drive the car providing they also chip in for gas!
Can't wait to see what this watch will be like! Any clues on time frame for design reveal for something like this?

Re: Bluebird
Probably next year. We are in June now & no new models or teasers for this year have appeared yet.

Re: Bluebird
Any chance of the rather nice metallic blue in the CW site picture of Bluebird being the dial colour of a CW Bluebird watch ??
