As requested by a few members, all black second hand to match the rest of the hands. Also removed the FLE text from the dial.
Great job.
This, for me, is the winner so far. Very classy.

Disagree entirely. The black sweep hand is ho hum, while red lifts it out of the ordinary into something special. Too little is not enough.
It's funny, we (the forum) often talk about legibility of the white dial, then overcome it by using blackened hands.
Now we are talking of potentially reducing legibility of one of the watches main functions by suggesting a bold, all red seconds hand that matches the GMT hand... my mind boggles

Kip, I will address this to you as you are closest to the supply chain. If we were to decide tomorrow, how long till actual delivery and subsequent payment?
My best guess would be year end.

How about black with a red tip?
For me, the black seconds hand is a much more coherent design than silver, but a splash of red might be best of both?
The same as Downer, if I was after a white dial GMT I’d probably be signing up for that. Its a great looking watch. Just a shame that I have no room for another white dial. My opinion is that the black seconds hand is the way to go. The thing I would try and change is the word mark. Maybe try using the light grey bezel colour?

Surprised by this estimate and I appreciate it's an estimate, given we are mid-August and no doubt heading into a busy end of year period.
If memory serves me right the 2017 Forum watch had deposits taken approx. late May '17 and deliveries were in the December with some in the January. I didn't participate but I remember some concerned members chasing delivery before XMAS.
Legibility was the main criticism of the 2017 Forum LE - remember this before you sign-off the design!
