^^^^ Like you I’m not phased by the failed super league, my interest is in what TRIBUS intend to release next. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the TRI-02 GMT 3 Timezone COSC.

:lol: Industrial espionage, call the Police....... Tribus has also just issued a ‘new release’ email. The timing is definitely an insider job :lol:

I got the Tribus email with the TRI-04 Power reserve GMT. I do think it is a good looking watch but still struggle with the price £2,095 on a strap for which you could buy the new CW C63 Elite and C63 GMT and have £150 left over (not even taking into account the CW vouchers, albeit Tribus possibly offer similar discounts).

I can honestly say this is my most anticipated watch purchase ever, notice arrived this morning.

Well major contradiction from me, I confess, I've just bought a watch from Tribus. :problem:

It comes at a time when I'm reducing my collection
I prefer watches that are 43/44mm (this is 41mm)
Not a fan of joint ventures/partnerships etc

Price was under <£150 and for that and the chances of winning the Premier League again in the near future unlikely, I bought it. :lol:
Current collection incl Citizen, G-Shock, Rolex, Seiko, Sinn & Tag.

Congrats on the Tribus pickup! Can I ask how you got that price (or is there a zero missing?) Cheapest I've seen them is ~$1,500. :?

70% off all Liverpool FC watches, so a quartz chrono on leather was £148.50 incl shipping.

Thanks, I forgot about their quartz models and was only looking at the automatics.

Quartz or not, does this bode well for what, essentially is a start-up?

I have just purchased one at 70% off. I paid an extra £30 for the bracelet option, but still under £180.
Out of interest, I note there is no direct contact phone number for Tribus, just email. On reflection, that's not the most comforting position, I think. I wonder if they are regretting terminating the Liverpool tie in?

Edit. Nevertheless I won't unwrap it until my 30days approval expires, in case they increase the discount.

Just wish they'd offer some of their automatic watches at sale prices, even if not as aggressive as 70%. Think I'd bite on their Small Second COSC if it were at 30% off or more, looks like I'll have to be patient.

The Liverpool automatics are 70% off now. I think the least expensive are about £1000 so that comes down to £300. Not bad for swiss made stuff. The branding isn't too overt although I am not keen on the red so much.

Not sure that they will be, sponsorship at this level is really just buying advertising, usually with a few perks (match day tickets, meet players etc.) thrown in. I guess the LFC watches just arrived too late to the market and without people travelling to the games, little opportunity for sales arising from that.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left
