It doesn't help that the images on the website of it do not even begin to do it justice.

Some watches change a little from what you see on the website - but the FLE is one of the worst deficiencies I've seen.

I really wish CW would add a 'in the wild' section where you can submit photos of them in real life - if CW approve of the images they can put them up.

That's a really good idea, which should be simple to implement. Amazon and others allow you to upload pictures along with your written review.
It's clear that CW encourage customers to send wrist shots on social media as it is good for the brand, so no reason why it couldn't be incorporated within their main (only) sales tool.

That's the purpose of the reference gallery accessible from the main menu (apols but I can't generate the link)

There's a link to the forum on the main CW website?

Actually there did used to be a link from CW's Web. Not sure if it's still there or not. But that's an aside as that's not what I meant in my post.

Under the 'GALLERY' section on the forum main page is a link to the reference gallery which contains real world photos. I hope that helps.

Ah, ok thanks. I know about the reference gallery within the forum, which is very useful once you've found it.
I do wonder how many none watch enthusiasts would bother clicking through to the forum though for a look through the gallery.
My own experience lead me to the forum after my purchase, rather than before but it seems quite a few did the reverse also.

The 2016 C5 Slimline FLE seems to have dropped off the website since the last time I looked -- have they all gone now?

Maybe, who knows? Well, I got mine and it's going nowhere. If anyone cares to add their number to the Owners' List I will edit it.
