Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
Then I will restate my thoughts - take a C5 slim, make minimal changes to the dial to indicate its FLE status (perhaps Limited Edition in place of Slimline) and put a higher grade movement in it - gold or rhodium or something - to make it pretty

Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
Although I am not certain, a prettier movement probably could be sourced, at a cost. The other problem is a 12-18 month lead time for movements.

Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
Maybe something with a dark green dial.. C5 Slimline or C65?

Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
How about a super crazy idea for the 2015 FLE, which is also the 10 yr anniversary-ish FLE (2014 would be, but what the heck).
How about a Thomas Russel style pocket watch? Total shot in the dark, but would be a sure collector's item! Maybe put Chris' signature on the back. Maybe even have Thomas Russel's image printed on inside of sapphire caseback (like my Ball Trainmaster Fahrenheit has G. Farenheit's image on the inside of caseback so it doesn't wear off).

Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
Yes, I would buy a C65 with a dark green dial - the original BRG used in the C7 Mk 1 LE would be brilliant and really suit the character of the watch... Maybe not a wave dial - I think a radiant/sunburst dial would look spectacular...Konketsu wrote:Maybe something with a dark green dial.. C5 Slimline or C65?
Love green dials!

Re: General Discussion - 2015 FLE
Yes indeedy! Looks like we've got it all wrapped up and decided between the two of us...

Slimline or C3. All else is madness.
