I heard back from the Sales team that the large fee appears to be due to the fact that "all straps and bracelet are made in China". I don't have a huge problem with that and I'm happy they are being honest about the situation, but the large tariffs are obviously unpleasant (and not CW's fault of course).

Looks the bit, priced nicely too. Strong buy imho, love these fun timepieces. Grow younger my friends 👍😎 ...
I like the blue one
Would like a little more WR as that would be a nice vacation/pool watch.
Cool watch! The balance wheel might look a tad bit violent...
The balance wheel of this CW watch spins at 28,800 VPH. Which might look a tad bit violent given its size and geometry, depending on the person. Yes - I realize I'm overthinking it! And for those who are about to say it looks okay on a YouTube video, plea...
Exactly my thoughts… wish the balance wheel was larger and slower.
And no screw down crown on a manual wind watch.
Yes, I was.
This video from Worn & Wound just happens to show the Loco and a Tradition side by side and the difference a larger balance makes is clear: youtu.be I also have been waiting for the right opportunity to acquire a Tradition, so I will probably just wai...
Haha, yes, of course! I am but a mere mortal 😂
Have you heard of the Antoine Martin Slow Runner? Now that is big and slow! Never seen one offered for sale anywhere, however.
I like it!
Dear breaker for me from the jump is the need for proprietary straps. Next, even if the lugs were designed for regular straps, as seen with the Bel Canto there are reasons to wait as many other iterations of this watch are likely to follow. All said this ...
Looks great, especially for the price
Probably not something I’d pick up though. I’m attending a watch show here on Saturday, maybe it will be there as I know Christopher ward is attending.
Naturally im not in to this colorful, trendy, watch genre, but this one is very nicely done!
Kudos to CW for this another great release.🥂
Ouch, that is going to leave your wallet a bit lighter :(
Did you still get it? I'm going to pause and wait for normal lugs, all these proprietary straps are getting to be a bit expensive, and limiting. Plus i already have FOUR large books filled with straps, so am beginning to question my sanity ;-)
No, I did not….
I would rather not pay a tariff now when it could be gone next week. But even if there were no tariffs, there are a few issues that give me pause: the proprietary straps, the 30m water resistance with a screw down crown and a manual movement. The smallish...
Understood, and 100m WP should be easy as would be normal lugs.
Changing the size/speed of the balance would be nice PLUS give more hours of reserve. I'm fine with an 8-day, typical Sunday weekly wind with my Grandfather clock, MB&F Sherman, and Panerai nightstand clock.
I got hit with a Duty & Customs fee...
of $1130, which I actually didn't see until after placing the order on my phone. (This was for a Loco on SS bracelet with two additional rubber straps.) I contacted support asking for an explanation/breakdown of the fees, and got a response back that my q...
