I've had the odd look at this model a few times over the last couple of years. Never at RRP, it was often discounted to about £650 (not too bad???) but surely has to be a bargain at £285.
Briefly discussed here in this resurrected thread...

Not sure anyone has got to the bottom of what movement is in there.
I agree it looks good value at that price, but only if you like the look of it. Think I prefer the Clarendon.
Slightly different watch but point taken about the movement, I'll ask and see what they say!!

Regarding movement it is mentioned as swiss but knowing M&P I would think it a top quality one.
As I say, a crazy price which needs snapping up!!

I have the same but on the Nato strap. I had always assumed it to be a Sellita but could easily be an ETA. It's definitely a date movement as you can hear it click over at midnight. Ridiculously good price now, makes me look rather foolish for accepting a 20% discount and free winder when they were at their original price.That's a crazy price.

That Mappin & Webb looks great.
The point of this model is that it is a nod to the original campaign watch they produced from long ago. Its not only the look but also the history.
In that case I'm in. They said they would get back to me.
Having said that - does it wear big at 40mm?
Arrived this morning, after ordering yesterday.great service..fully boxed with warranty card dated yesterday..watch stickers in place, and watch in a plastic sleeve..very impressive
Ah, I see...didn’t know much about it. Thanks.
It does look like a bargain but I don’t like the style enough to buy one for myself.
Mappin are a bit like the early Rolex in that they would get others to build to their spec or would bring together stuff, usually with their own dial. Like Asprey, Fitch, Garrard and a host of other top end English jewellers, they can be a cheap route into some very special vintage watches. Or at least were until I wrote this! The original campaign was sometimes a Borgel and sometimes a Borgel ... lets call it a homage. So was pretty similar to Mallory's watch in 1924. However they were an early Borgel user. The modern stuff shares little but a name.
This is how mine arrived.
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?This is how mine arrived.
Me too, and now £250 lighter
Just ordered one..these are all new stock, no ex display, according to M&P
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh
Hi Guys,
Received the silver dial Clarendon today. Lovely watch and have included a few pics. No booklet but chap from M&W stated that it is a Sellita movement. Well worth the £250 IMHO.
Richy
Lovely watch. My order was cancelled due to stock running out. Let me know if you decide to flip this at some point.Hi Guys,

Ordered a Campaign which arrived today. Lovely watch for the money and I’d be very pleased however the back and sides are covered in loads of fine scratches and the strap is showing signs of wear.
Understand these may be ex display but feels quite sharp to sell as new when it’s arrived in the condition it has. Possibly unlucky as the one below looks immaculate.
Unfortunate, but given the price perhaps a keeper nevertheless.
By the way, if you go to...
'Settings' > 'General Settings' > 'Thread Display Mode' > change that option to 'Linear - Oldest First'
... the forum becomes a lot easier to navigate IMO. More like a typical internet forum.
Aah thank you, it has been grating on me slightly I must say!
I just wonder why Mappin & Webb continue to bombard me with adverts stating how wonderful it is to own a Rolex when I’ve been on their waiting list for one for years?? 🙄
Ordered a Campaign. Let's see if the order is fulfilled.

Well that delivery has to be a new record! It’s a beautifully executed watch I must say. I have no idea whether they’re worth the original £980 as this type of watch is not what I’d usually go for. However for the £285 I paid it’s an absolute bargain.

Double box, outer sleeve and dated warranty card:
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...
Can anyone confirm what movement is on these?
I'm seriously thinking of buying one as I keep coming back to it but would just like to know what's inside it.

Just ordered one so I hope it's a brand new one when it arrives. If not let's see if I can wangle some more discount or return it

A few more pics:
How does it fit on the wrist as the lugs look as if they sit quite high and not snug ?A few more pics:
Got mine today, very pleased. Need to find a longer strap to suit as the supplied alligator is a bit too short for my chunky wrists
...and just found cousins is doing an xl croc strap for under £20. incoming!

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.Sent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile app
Mine arrived this morning, I had exactly the same packaging as TTC.
What a heads up, for £285 this was an absolute no brainier.
In line with it’s heritage I have put on a NATO. The original strap is Alligator so I’d imagine that would be the best of £100 just by its self.
Like that, changes the look a lot.
Funnily enough I’ve done the same:
now on a Cousins 20mm extra long croc strap, a snip at under £20

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

Is the crystal sapphire? Also is it domed?

Yes, sapphire and slightly domed :0)
Would love to see a picture of the domed crystal

It,s not that high but when you look at it, it really looks domed.
plus it looks great on a Malinese

At the height of their game they were very funny.
