    I forgot to say that I'd checked stock availability in my area (North East) and out of the 2 shop's one was showing in stock.

    The elongated oval hands are lovely too. As I said, not sure whether it's a bit too classy for me.
    I've had a look at your photos and actually, it doesn't seem as old fashioned as I previously thought. It looks very good and a great watch for the money. Bargain.

    They are still in stock. I received my confirmation late last night but I also just got a text message saying it's being delivered today between 13.50 and 14.50.
    Picture's to follow.

    I'm surprised myself how nice it look's.
    So I've just ordered 2 single pass canvas from Haveston. One Black and one Grey although I'll probably only use the Black one. It was the 10% off for buying 2 that made me order the Grey one

    Received mine which came in the same box. Brand new and a very solid feel. Great VFM. Did anyone get the white dial campaign or black Clarendon?

    Looks like great value
    It's just a matter of time...

    Who knows, and that’s always a judgement call, but as the original release price looks like it was £1500 before being reduced to £980!
    It's just a matter of time...

    It,s not that high but when you look at it, it really looks domed.

    plus it looks great on a Malinese

    ordered one

    Really like this style of watch anyway. Not fussy, clear layout, one glance. Coin edge stands out. Markers on the hour help. Arabic numbers (I don't have a watch without). Quality strap by the sound of it as well. Luckily cottoned on to the thread and couldn't say no. How often do bargains like this come along.

    Thanks to all who contributed to thread and uploaded pics.

    After taking my money, they pronounced the watch had sold out. They did make me an offer on a couple of things to compensate, but didn't take them up on it.

    Lo and behold, one turns up on eBay for a reasonable price; made an offer and deal done. Lovely way to start a lockdown Sunday. Thanks to seller if a member here.

    At the height of their game they were very funny.

    Though not in the same league as Millican & Nesbitt.

    Just had this delivered after a previous email saying they were out of stock so obviously a return.

    Dont know how much wear it will get but looks worth the money spent .

    I have one of the square face black campaign's which i don't want. Unworn, as they sent it. £250 plus post if anyone wants it.
