Not voting as these options put me out, unfortunately, as I'm not interested in red as I have white/red and black/red on other watches. Good luck getting it off the ground all, I hope it works out.

Just voted for the options I'd prefer.

@kip is it worth adding to the first post that the hands and indices are black on the white dial version?

Dont think it's been decided on yet, both colour options have been suggested. Personally I'd prefer gloss white to match the dial.

Other than the second hand, what’s the difference between options 1 & 2? Clearly I’m missing something.

Kip, do we need a min of 25 buyers for a particular variation to be doable?

ie if 35 wanted red tip second hand but 25 wanted all red second hand we could commission both?

Not a prayer are you going to get 60 people willing to pay FLE premium in my opinion. Looking at the numbers its gonna be a struggle to get 25 to agree on one design enough to fork out the best part of a grand.

To fork out over a grand I would need the exact option I like, in fact might buy two one for me one for my son. We have one each of the CWELE.

TigerChris are you in or out at the moment?

Unfortunately, I’m out Andy. PVD case and I was very much in. Another colour apart from red accents and I might have been in, but I’m not interested in the current designs. I really hope it becomes a reality though as I’m very surprised that Kip has come around to even trying it after the last one.

I wouldn’t read the poll results and assume they show indicative numbers. For example, I would buy most of those in 42mm so have voted against numerous choices. I will however only be buying one watch though and I suspect others will do the same.

If you see that 25 have voted for option 1 and 25 for option 2, it may well only equate to 30 different people and not necessarily mean there are 50 buyers.

Sadly I don't like any of them. Blue PVD and I was good to go. However, I hope you get the numbers and I'm sure the takers will be delighted with the result.

On the white dial version, which I've voted for with clear display case back, I still feel that to have the seconds hand with the red tip and lume pip surround in red would look good.

Might we get some input from CW designer/s on this?

Voted, and other than the smoked dial and 38mm I'm still in for all options!
