Yes. Something like this. Also as I said in a previous post I'd like to see a Dartmouth mock-up with a black bezel/red pip, ivory dial, gold hands/markers, and black seconds-hand with red tip. I'd just like a visualization of it so maybe it could be worked on? It's pretty vintagey IMO.

I’d like to see this one with plain smoked dial (not device print), navy blue word mark at 9, applied twin flags at 12, yellow tip second hand and black strap.

Guys,

Can we please stop debating whether the logo can be moved on these two models. Kip made it clear in the original FLE post and also above in his latest post that that isn't going to be an option:

Whether we you agree with this is neither here nor there - it ain't gonna change. That's one of the rules of the FLE game and it has always been so for this FLE.

Also, this thread is not the right place for speculation as to what CW may do with their logo on future watches.

So let's get back to discussing and showing designs that meet the ground rules. Thanks!

^^^ No issues here, just didn't want to waste my time making a no date C60 if that were the case. High res mockups often take me over an hour to complete.

I am not trying to cause trouble - I am just not 100% what this means. The C65 trident has flags at 12 and Christopher Ward at 9.

Does that mean we can then have twin flags at 12 on the C65 Dartmouth FLE (if that is chosen)?

And if we can - do we need to have Christopher Ward at 9? Or can we drop the Christopher Ward (to look like the C7 Rapide Automatic?)

The issue is undoubtedly mine but I cant figure out what's what here :(

Frankly I’m not interested in either of the options as basic 3-handers.

What could interest me would be a GMT version of the Dartmouth, is this possible?

If that were possible I assume it would have been in the vote for the base models. Would need to do a revote given the C60 and C65 GMT models were separated from the 3 hand models.

I don't know how to do photoshop but if one of our experts could make a mock up it would be much appreciated.
I wouldnt mind seeing this if somebody with the photoshop skills could do a mock up please

i personally would like the FLE to look a bit different to what is currently on offer. i would love a bit of bronze if possible or even the trident being a different colour than just SS.

There is a blue case Trident in the melting pot – they have never done anything like that before. It’s just needs enough people to vote for it and we could make it happen, couldn’t we?

Many fans of the Mk1/2 don't like the Mk3 hands at all, including myself. So maybe you want to move forward with the new but I think many still prefer the classic hand design.

The forum banner still shows the Mk2 classic design, perhaps time to update because we need to move forward and forget about the old stuff.

Hey, at least I didn't put the classic Chr.WARD on the dial which would look even better. :)

I know it's never going to happen, but I would buy that. So, so much better....

Has Kip pulled all of his hair out by now ?
I've lost count with how many times he or somebody else has said that the logo CANNOT be changed or moved for this FLE.

If it's at 9o'clock on the standard CW release (C60) then it has to be at 9o'clock on the FLE.
If it's at 12o'clock on the standard CW release (Dartmouth) then it has to be at 12o'clock on the FLE.

This FLE is not going to happen is it ... can anybody photoshop dogs chasing their own tails?

People need to just accept things as they are presented. The C60 has the logo at 9 to balance the date. The Dartmouth has at 12 because there is no date. That's it. There's been just as much mumbling about nonsensical changes as there's been potential mock-ups.

Kip needs to get the poll up for the final model to choose so artists can focus on one piece. It's a bit all over the place right now with no direction.
