Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Hi there - long term lurker - i have not voted for white dial.
As someone who wears reading glasses i require a very clear dial when glancing at a watch. Although much work has been done to enhance the hands with a black outline, I would have to see it in the flesh before committing, although realise this is unlikely.
I bought the last but one FLE based on the designs (that's when I realised i needed a bold display!).
Good luck with this. Many people have placed significant time and effort into getting us here - I hope the numbers stack up and you are rewarded.
All the best,
Stephen

Guy would it stop you buying it if the second hand was all red?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 10:44 pm 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?

It would me because every time I look at it i would be wishing it was boulder, I love the CWELE and the two Black Bezel red second hand COSC units I recently bought in the CW sale.
Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
I voted for #1. #2 is also good but the fully red second hand is just too much red. That said, I'm not too sure about having black hour and minute hands and then a silver (I think?) and red seconds hand...seems like quite a lot going on there.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
It might well stop me if the seconds hand is all red, Andy. Without a GMT hand, no problem, but with a red GMT hand, to have an all red seconds hand will be too much.Andy-Smith wrote:Guy would it stop you buying it if the second hand was all red?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 10:44 pm 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.

Someone mentioned the possibility of a silver seconds hand with red tip looking at odds with the black edged hour & minutes and red / white GMT hand.
Perhaps, in the same way that the shaft of the GMT hand is intended to be white so that it floats, we could have the shaft of the seconds hand white as well.
The watch I am wearing today has a black dial with a red tipped, filled with white lume, black seconds hand and you just don't see the black shaft. Looks really good.

I no longer have any skin in this game but if you are looking for inspiration concerning seconds hand colours, it may be worth looking at the Explorer II 16750. White dial, markers and hands outlined in black, red GMT accent - and a black seconds hand.
I realise the watch is different, but I think Rolex know a thing or two about long-lasting design.

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
^^ an all black second hand to match hour/min hands together with a ‘disappearing’ white stork to the GMT hand would look very nice in my opinion.
Presumptive, but could someone do a photoshop render of this please?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Also with this black second hand would the tip in red look better than the renders we had with the silver one and red tip? Would add some balance with the red tip of the gmt hand and since often moving would have balanced splashes of red in different parts of the dial together with the gmt text as well.

Have a look at the other thread I've done up some with red accents on the black second hand.groovin wrote:Also with this black second hand would the tip in red look better than the renders we had with the silver one and red tip?

Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
I know I don't have any vested interest, but wouldn't it be better to get rid of Automatic altogether and replace it with Trident?
Re: FLE #8 - poll #2
Trident should definitely be cooler.TigerChris wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 4:15 pm I know I don't have any vested interest, but wouldn't it be better to get rid of Automatic altogether and replace it with Trident?
