I absolutely love everything about this Alpina, except that it is quartz. Did they ever release an auto version (Edit: other than the version with the timing bezel)?

The nearest model is the Alpiner 4 in assorted colors with a timing bezel. That said, I have that quartz and the quartz GMT, both blue, and I’m quite pleased with both.

Several Baume & Mercier Capeland chronographs at ToM. Normal sale prices, but I haven't seen many of these lately. The supply seems to be drying up.

Had anyone confirmed with Christopher Ward if these Super Compressors on sale are those from the earlier production runs with the offset to the left "SUPER COMPRESSOR" printing at the bottom, or will these be the updated version with the centered text?

No confirmation from CW, but you can see in the pics of the ones being closed out that the text is offset to the left. Other color SCs which have had the dials corrected show properly centered text in the pics on their product pages.

NAD:

Good Morning Mr VALUEWATCHGUY,

Thank you for your email.

The Black Sand Super Compressor watch that you have ordered in the sale is as per the images. The text on the dial will be as per the images shown for the watch.

Please let me know if you have any further queries.

Kind Regards,

Ah, sod it. Just ordered the blue quartz on bracelet.

Was tempted to go for the more expensive auto with timing bezel, but at this price the quartz is not too great a loss if I don't bond with it.

Enablers, the lot of you. [emoji2]

CW January 21 sale reboot

As many of you have noticed, yesterday’s sale went quite well for CW. In fact it was the best sales day ever according to CW. However they unfortunately had a number of people who abused the sale terms and conditions and believe they purchased for the sole purpose of reselling. The terms and conditions were very clearly outlined within the email as shown below.

https://www.christopherward.com/terms-conditions.html

3.4 During our Sale period we set a maximum of five watches per customer, and customers buying multiples of the same item will be capped at two per customer. Serial number requests are not available on Sale items. Sale stock cannot be ordered over the phone during the Sale period. Our next day delivery / express shipment is not available during the Sale period on all orders, including non-sale items. We are also unable to offer engraving services, gift notes and gift-wrap on Sale products.

Due to the above, CW will be in touch with the 14 people informing them that they will be cancelling all of their orders and giving them a full refund. This stock will go back on the site later today. Possibly within the next hour or two.

This activity has also enabled some over sells of prototype models which they are looking into and will be in touch with the relevant customers regarding this. They are hopeful to have solutions for all.

So if you missed out on something specific you may get a second chance. Watch for it!!

Good luck.

Since y'all didn't like my fancy-pants Gemnation post yesterday, today's deal seems to be much more palatable

Revue Thommen Diver XL Bronze is priced at $399. Swiss. Bronze. Automatic. Sapphire. Cyclops. 300M. 42mm. Retail $2550.

[MoT]

Jimmy Collins from Collins Watch Company has graciously given all members of MoT's an on-going 10% discount, with the potential for extra discounts or special deals.

Use code MOT10 at checkout.

Thanks, Jimmy!

Is there a thread here where all the MOT discount codes are listed? I searched through the forums but didn't see it. Would be handy to reference it before purchasing, as I'm pretty sure I've missed at least a discount or two. Thanks.

Yes. It's just a couple of threads below this one.
