I know this isn't really the place to ask such a question, but I was afraid it wouldn't be seen on the CW thread. Anyway, I bought a C65 on the half price sale. It is showing that it has already cleared customs and should be delivered on Thursday. But, Christopher Ward has not billed my credit card yet, or there is no charge from them when I look at my account online. I got a text with a confirmation number from my card I had to put in when I ordered, and it seemed everything went correctly. The reason this concerns me is that I've had problems with this card and overseas transactions before. Is it normal that they wouldn't have billed me when it shipped? I ask here, because I know we have many experts on CW.
So the watch has shipped, cleared customs, delivery date established...and your credit card hasn't been billed? I'm not only failing to see a problem, but would also suggest you buy that PowerBall ticket you've been procrastinating about . Seriously, though, in my dozen or so CW purchases, my credit card has always been billed immediately upon completing the transaction.
It's just all beyond bizarre. I ordered on the 11th, checked my card account immediately and it showed a hold on my card like it was supposed to. The watch was the one that was not even supposed to be available until today. I also got the confirmation email from Christopher Ward right after I ordered. I never got a shipping notification though; I wasn't expecting to until today. But on Friday I got a text from DHL Express saying that my package from Christopher Ward would be delivered on Thursday July 23 and would require a signature unless I replied. I looked up the tracking number and it shows it was indeed picked up in London on the 17th and will be here on Thursday. The hold disappeared from my credit card and no charge has replaced it. Weirdest of all is that when I go to Christopher Ward's site and put in my order number from their confirmation email, It says there is no such order. It will be very interesting to see what I get on Thursday!
hahaa you should have ordered a more expensive watch than the c65 diver
Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Random Rob made a video about this specific Seiko clock. It appears the display may be pretty dark without using the light but still a good deal for $15.
NAD.
For anyone contemplating one of these, I bought two and if you power it via the 5VDC input instead of batteries, the light stays on all the time, thus making it perfectly legible! I bought a couple of USB to 4.0x1.7mm cables which work great, but you can also use a regular 5V AC adapter.
Do you have to remove batteries while connecting to DC?
Not a screaming deal but Hoffman has their bi compax Panda Chrono on sale for $199 plus free shipping, normally $219. 40mm x 48mm x 12mm, Seiko V64, sapphire. They also offer a mechanical version with the Seagull ST1901 but most colorways are sold out and higher priced.
