I've been wondering the same thing for a few days.
FLE #8 design submissions
Re: FLE #8 design submissions
You sound like a Mod.welshlad wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 5:25 pm 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!

Maybe, just maybe the “Dartmouth dial configuration” was the most popular for a reason...Mikkei4 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:28 pm 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?

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
Sorry about that, it had to happen eventually.
There are a few ideas for mock-ups that people have asked for that haven't yet been done. There are a few of us who can do a bit of Photoshop, but I personally won't have time until the weekend - but I hope to have a good crack at getting through a few of them then.
So it's a bit early to go to the voting stage as suggested above. We need to illustrate as many of the valid ideas as possible and see where that takes us. And hopefully some more ideas are still to come forward too.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
Hi guys this is my first post so am new to this. I like the current blue designs and may want to order one, but has the GMT been ruled out? Would the cost of a GMT COSC be really high or not do-able? I haven’t seen a COSC GMT C60...does such a beast exist?

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
Yep, I'd go for Dartmouth for that reason.
First new CW I've considered buying for a long time.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
The voting appears to have polarised between Dartmouth and C60 40mm. GMT appears now to have been ruled out and I don’t think a COSC version exists.Champaul wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 2:30 am Hi guys this is my first post so am new to this.

The current phase is one of creating designs around the two base watches selected. Not sure what will happen then but I suspect we will narrow down the choices for each model then go to a straight shootout. That is where people will make their personal choice. In my case I will only be going for the C60 and only if all the conditions I want are met in the design phase.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
I am excited about the possibility of a blue PVD case. It’s something unique you don’t normally see.TigerChris wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 5:20 pmI’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.
How about the blue PVD case with the hands, hour markers and bezel from the titanium version 1? It may be a stretch to think it’ll work.
Other thought includes using a red seconds hand.
This case color could make an elegant moon phase in the future.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
I'm travelling up to the big smoke this morning for a boozy weekend, so won't have time until next week.welshlad wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:16 pm There are a few ideas for mock-ups that people have asked for that haven't yet been done.

Happy to have a look then unless someone wants to get involved beforehand
Have a good weekend all.

Ok thanks for clearing this up.Mikkei4 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:28 pm Has Kip pulled all of his hair out by now ?

This FLE is not going to happen is it ... can anybody photoshop dogs chasing their own tails?
Can I revise my design idea to:
Datmouth
dark grey/charcoal face and bezel
applied Christopher Ward logo at 12 (or just printed if applied causes difficulties with price). Can this be in black? White is fine if not.
Black second hand.
white lume
Now don't shoot me here (because I think this still fits in with the design parameters ie not moving logo from original design - this is just an addition) ..... applied flag logo at 6 in black.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
Regret that I am out - I would like to have seen GMT with ali bezel.
Good luck with getting the FLE across the line.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
It is a bit to soon for a final vote.Devarika Woulf wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:41 pm 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.
The idea here is to get, and narrow down, design suggestions for each base model. Then put those designs to a vote for each model and then a final vote between models.
We seem to only have a couple of Photoshop guys so the process is running a bit slower.

Re: FLE #8 design submissions
Dartmouth as a base would certainly be interesting
