Thanks for the pep talk but unfortunately my main sticking point is the name at 9 and I really can't envisage CW moving away from that now on any of their major ranges, even though they choose to or are forced to do so when 9 o'clock is filled by something else.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 11:25 amI remember that feeling a few years ago when they didn't seem to produce anything I liked. It happens from time to time. I compromised on a couple of sticking points and they developed the range.
I'm not opposed to the font as IMO it's just a purely boring and inoffensive font that is ok when centre justified at 12 but being left-justified at 9 is contrary to my eyes and brains need for symmetry or the look of symmetry. I'm aware that's my choice but it's something I can't compromise on which is why my 2017 FLE doesn't get worn so might as well be put up for sale.
I'll continue on here and to look forward to CW news and discussion but I think I'm safe spending any money elsewhere for the foreseeable future, which is a shame as the base products, i.e the watches like the Trident and C65, are well made and VFM and I would be buying them but for what I consider an eye-sore. Sorry again.
