Design:

#2 or second choice #5

Wording:

2. or 5. both work fine. If Trident is not on the dial it must obviously be on the case back along with FLE designation

That's good, 2020 sounds so rounded!

Hello everyone - bit late in on this but yes I would be interested (I got involved with the slimline FLE and purchased number 66 - it gets admired when I wear it).

I am not asking for logo to be moved (as requested !) but have to say that the Christopher Ward at 9 does niggle me.

Kip has started a poll on the dial text options, have you seen it?

The poll has finished on the dial text options and the most popular one was

TRIDENT - GMT
600m/2000ft

I've changed the text on the dials below. That just leaves the second hand colour and base colour of the GMT hand as the last options to choose for FLE #8.

I believe Kip will be setting this up as a poll.

#1

#2
Image

#3

#4

#5

My preference is still for #3 with the all black second hand, as recommended by @downer. Looks real classy with just enought hints of red on the rest of the dial to lift it. Next preference would be #5

#3 looks the business imo!

Any small-wristed forumites wanting to jump on the 38mm bandwagon? A run of each size would be super-duper.

Just for clarity, are the base of the GMT hands meant to be different colours on the above renderings?

Reading back to the descriptions Kip put up earlier in this thread, yes I think they are.

There needs to be a decision on whether we go with a silver or white base for the GMT hand as well as deciding on the colour and red accent for the seconds hand.

I still think the red on the seconds had should extend past the pip towards the center exactly as far as the red extends on the GMT hand. So that when the two hands cross, the “end of red lines” line up...

Hopefully people will just vote for the designs as they are Inc the choice of GMT base colour as shown.

Easier than running 2 more polls.

I think the new C60 apex has that from what I can make out from the rendered photos released. Certainly looks about half way up the second hand.

Yeah would be awesome to see a render of this variant as well.
