Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
As the very proud owner of #43, I just want to thank & congratulate the team on their extraordinary efforts
It was great to be able to read the development background. Surprised the concept started out as a 'sports' watch.. It certainly doesn't feel sporty, it feels more refined and elegant, so I'll be keeping mine for those special occassions

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
Congrats on the #43! I ordered one hesitantly (bc its pretty big for my wrist), and LOVED it more when I saw it in person on my wrist. Its a good, solid feeling watch that wears boldly, but not like a hockey puck on your wrist.

PS, I think I have #26 or something. Does JJ make all watches 000-050? I think I read that someplace, but cannot remember if that's all watches, LE watches, etc?

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
Just musing - with all the news and big changes this week at CWL, I wonder if the 2013 FLE will prove to be the final one. If so, it's worth holding on to yours - if you have one - it might become a collector's item in time. Besides, that, it's a very nice watch, and I will not be letting mine go. It also is #86, a special date for me.
Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
gatehealing, the FLE stands for "Forum Limited Edition". It refers to forum-designed limited edition watches that used to be made roughly every year (or a little longer than that). These are not official CWL designs, just watches CWL kindly agreed to make for the forum members using their existing cases. Forum members who want one will send their orders to Wera in CWL, and when the watches are ready, they make payment to CWL who then deliver the watches.gatehealing wrote:Congrats on the #43!

If some pieces of an FLE model are unsold after some time, only then might they be sold in the CWL online store. Otherwise they don't appear on CWL's website at all even though they made it for us and took care of the delivery.
Thus, the FLE has nothing to do with JJ. CWL have their own LE watch models (no "F" in front!).
Because this year was CWL's 10th anniversary, an FLE was not planned for this year and in the light of all the new developments and direction of CWL, as theaub says, who knows if there will ever be another FLE made with the help of CWL. But this is all speculation.

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
At the most recent GTG Chris was asked about this and he said he was definitely up for doing more FLEs. In fact, he encouraged us to get on with designing something! So FLEs are not dead.theaub wrote:Just musing - with all the news and big changes this week at CWL, I wonder if the 2013 FLE will prove to be the final one.

Indeed, one exciting possibility is that the next FLE could have the SH21 movement in it - if enough people are willing to pay for it, of course.

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
I knew about the F in FLE, but not clear about how it differed from other lines. Thx for the info.
Still curious if JJ makes the 1st 50 of regular CW watches, LE's (like my c50 cosc le #26). I may need to start a new thread on this (?)

Re: 2013 FLE Progress Report #19 Summary and Evolution
Well I'm a week in and I love this watch - I bought it to wear whilst playing golf - my Seamaster is too chunky and the C7 and C700 too motorsport orientated. The C10FLE is a great choice- glad I got one before they finally sell out ... At some point.
Surprises me that CWL does not have a Golf orientated range .
