I sure hope CW give credit to these designs when they inevitably make it through to CW production line

Personally, I don't think they will.

Although I love some of the designs, it all seems a pie in the sky process. A lot of effort for no reward. However, we can but dream.

Can you share the CW images of the C60 drawings that were made for FLE #7? I am curious to see their vision of the blue C60.

As a more realistic suggestion, I am hoping for something like this.

They are all crackers ( I especially like the ones with the date at 6). Black or blue, I'd like both. But that logo looks way too balanced centre-justified at the top, just ridiculous. Any right-minded watch designer (or, indeed, avant-garde design agency) would say this should be shoved over on the left, squashed against the 9, surely?

If nothing else, Nordwulf has generated a great deal activity while waiting for the endless rainy season to go away. :D :thumbup:

And lose the "Trident Pro." It's just TMI, IMHO. :D

I think srs1286 has hit on a "likely."

The main point of the mock-up was to portray a dark blue face, matte ceramic charcoal colored bezel, brushed case, strong white lume everywhere similar to the titanium V2, and CW's existing markings in an effort to make it realistic. Just so happened to put it on a NATO in spite of most individuals disliking them because well, I like NATO's and I did the mock-up :lol:

Further color adjustments and a leather strap shown below may leave a better impression on people. But ultimately to each his own.

As you say Scott, each to their own.

You did mock up so entitled to show a NATO. Not bad on a leather tho. I hate NATOs :D :D

Only Daniel Craig's version, most were bracelets of some description. And Daniel, at best, was third in line of top Bonds IMHO.

Unless, of course, you meant James Bond loved NATO, not SPECTRE :D

I mean James Bond: An imaginary character whose imaginary likes and dislikes justify a taste in straps on an imaginary watch. 8) 8) :lol:

Wow. As far as I remember, the first Bond watch was on a nylon strap on Sean Connery's wrist. This must be dating me!

Gee. Danial Craig sure does look different in this scene. It must be all that gritty reboot acting. :D
