well, if he can't see the results, then he can't vote either. polls don't work in tapatalk.
They do if you do this:
From within the poll page you want to vote in, touch the 3 dots in the upper right corner, then select Web View; login as normal.

Note: the Back and Forward buttons are at the bottom--hitting the back button at the top will back you out of Web View).

You can also see the poll stats without logging in by going to Web View.

Hope this helps

Ha! I hadn't known what emoticon was in yer post till I viewed in Web View while in Tapatalk!

I hope the Romans grow on you! While I'm sure the Water Resistance rating would help, I'm afraid that vomit may actually erode the seals!

Perhaps we should revisit having the pic of Chris on the dial! :D

Admit it...this is what we all truly want. Complete balance on the dial and everyone satisfied.

Especially as 30 votes for options that don't look like they are in with a chance, any late switches from them will be meaningful.

I hope so, in favour of limited edition. I strongly believe the other option is insubstantial for dial text

So at the risk of screwing my own idea out of the running, I have to toss this out there:

Please make sure you see what folks are talking about with the MMXV seeming to be too small . . . this was also my concern when I saw it on the pic. I LOVE the idea of MMXV, but I do agree that it could look to imbalanced in relation to: 1) the top of the dial, and 2) all of the space on either side of it.

Personally, I like the open space at the bottom, but not completely blank . . . kind of a Zen thing I guess. But if you just like the idea of Roman Numerals, but think the imbalance of print to blank space might rub you the wrong way eventually, remember that we cannot undo this.

I am keeping my vote for MMXV for reasons I listed above. But because I like Limited Edition nearly as much, I wanted to be certain that folks get what they really like best visually, not just the idea.

This comparison shot is with the two pictures from the first page. The font used is similar if not the same used on the current Slimline and is in a similar if not same location on the dial as well. If the FLE is following the same font used on the current models, these pictures should be a good judge of what it will look like.

Even after considering all the arguments above, I still like the MMXV the best. Based on the case back poll Limited Edition will already be on the back. This is pleasantly understated and unique.
