Apologies from CWL for the confusion.

From the original project intro post...
Kip (in the original introduction post) wrote:The best part is that the final product will be at current retail prices as shown on the website for the strap/ bracelet you choose. Chris will absorb any price increases and production costs for the FLE changes we make within the guidelines.

Current retails on June 19,2011

C60-TRI-SKSI - 335 GBP (non EC 279.17 GBP)
C60-TRI-SKK - 335 GBP (non EC 279.17 GBP)
C60-TRI-SKS - 375 GBP (non EC 312.50 GBP) This will be with the new bracelet for FLE
So, that's the pre-increase price and it includes the new bracelet. Bargain. :)

Turns out to be a hell of a bargain doesn't it! :D
A good example of why CWL inspires the loyalty it does I think. I started looking for a "good watch" to replace a cheap Armani one. Bought a Kingfisher then a C5. Now on 11 with 2011 FLE on order, the 2012 appealing greatly, along with a C11 and the vintage C8! Medic!!!

No link..but if you compare the actual position of the date wheel in the this rendering of the actual C60 as done by downer using a current c60 as a base, you will note that the date window is a bit lower (this is the actual position) than the drawings I posted today.

The drawings received from CWL today used an incorrect (old drawing image) as the base.

Personally I have no problem with this position and I presume the majority of the public does not either as the C60 has been one of the most successful watches ever built by CWL.

Some find this to be an almost revolting thing to be looking at for a variety of reasons and they are most certainly entitled to their opinion.

I will go for the bracelet and the brown strap. Wouldn't have thought that but that combination looks great.

Indeed; the brown strap is looking surprisingly good, with that watch.
Nothing wrong with it :wink:
