The new bracelets look good and at the time CWL would do them at the old price so a bit of a saving and it is always cheaper to buy leather straps afterwards.

About 90% were originally ordered with bracelets. Not surprising considering that it's a diver. 8)

Nice one Jag. I think it suits your partners wrist better- at least she has it on the right wrist! :twisted:

I wear a piece on what ever arm takes my fancy that day i didnt realise there was a set rule to what arm it goes on :lol: :lol: but since taking that picture the BEZEL has been aligned "as some people suffer from to much OCD" and it has been on & off both wrists :thumbup: :thumbup:
Liking your approach- very bohemian. Let me just try that for a sec... hold on... nope. Wearing my trident on my right, that is my wrong, wrist just feels odd. All of a sudden, my right arm seems attracted to all sorts of dink and scuff makers.

Anyway, I thought the bezel position looked fine. Was it out by a smidgen in your pics? :lol:

I ordered mine with the brown strap. I was informed those provided were unacceptable to the CWL QC team. So I ordered mine with the bracelet instead. But don't worry, I'll be trying both versions on straps . 8)

I have just ordered a RED FLE after putting my name down on the waiting list. To be honest I cant understand some of the comments. I saw a vintage Swiss watch with a red dial a while back and loved it so was very keen on getting a watch with a red dial. looking forward to it arriving and posting a review/pictures very soon.

I am with you on that one. I thought that we all agreed ages ago to drop the names and just refer to them as Blue and Red.

Red is not for me but it is a good looking watch for those that like red dials. I saw one when I was at CWL HQ and it looked very nice.

Tell them it has links to a Vauxhall Astra or Nissan Micra and see what they say. :lol:

Just take the video with no words but just some cheesey music in the background. :thumbup: Or get Mrs J to do the speaking. :wink:

I have had my red FLE on the wrist since saturday morning. After getting over the initial 'I've got a new watch!' excitement, I have had time to reflect on the wisdom, or otherwise, of this purchase. As someone that did follow the decision making process through from start to finish, I will admit that at several times I found myself thinking I would prefer the blue but found myself voting for red. When push came to shove, I ordered red as that is what I had voted for. I sold my C1 to help fund the purchase. I really liked my C1. I knew I wouldn't be able to buy another new C1. So for me it was a really big deal. Right now I am pleased by my decisions and am growing to really appreciate my new red FLE. The fact it is keeping almost ( a few seconds) perfect time straight out of the box, is a useful and reassuring bonus. So far, all comments have been positive from those that have noticed. A happy owner, I guess.
