I thought I was fairly certain what this design was including, but your text above has me questioning something.
You mention blackened handset. Can you confirm whether the hour markers are also blackened, or will these remain as standard?

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
Sorry, Kip. I missed the commitment sentence above...
I voted for my preferences. I might buy, but cannot commit 100% ATM...

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
9 or 99 for me, deffo interested
Somewhere there is someone who can see what I can see...
Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
Can't imagine that there'll be 100 pieces needed or produced, however good it looks.
Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
With this poll having ended with only 53 votes, and assuming most people voted for two options. I suspect the low numbers are probably enough to stop this FLE from going any further?
A shame but not that much of a surprise, I hope CW take some of the design ideas and put them in mainstream models. I would really like to see the blackened hands and white dial make it to production.

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
Well now.....what we have here is a minor dilemma.
Do we take #3 as the winner or have one more vote between #3 and #5?
We need to determine if we will have 25 as a minimum, of one model....

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
...in the meantime CW is verifying for me that there are no issues with these models for production.

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
Personally I think we need to say, this is the final design, would you buy it? I would have voted to buy all of these options but only had two votes. This may have affected things if everyone who voted was of a similar mindset.

Re: FLE #8 - Poll #4
Even though I prefer #3 I would happily take #5. In the interest of getting sufficient numbers to get this watch into production it's maybe best to have a final vote between both of them.
It's only going to delay things by a few more days.
