Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Dont think it's been decided on yet, both colour options have been suggested. Personally I'd prefer gloss white to match the dial.StrappedUp wrote:^^^ and is the base of the GMT hand white or grey?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Other than the second hand, what’s the difference between options 1 & 2? Clearly I’m missing something.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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.Andy-Smith wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:16 pm Kip, do we need a min of 25 buyers for a particular variation to be doable?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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.
Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
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?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Voted, and other than the smoked dial and 38mm I'm still in for all options!
