FLE #8 Design Vote
Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
If this concept is being resurrected, should we also include the original FLE GMT option? I know when it changed from a 2 tone ceramic to aluminium a lot of people were put off, myself included. However the possibility of having a single colour ceramic bezel with white face and black hands is quite attractive, to me at least. It would be like a C60 anthropocene
Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.
Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
I’d agree with this, particular if there’s some flexibility in ceramic bezel colour. A dark grey or slate would be interesting...iain wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 8:24 pm If this concept is being resurrected, should we also include the original FLE GMT option?

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
The trouble is we’re starting to open up new desires and design options - back to where we were several weeks ago. Some of these suggestions are great but i’d Suggest it’s the top 4 or so designs or nothing!

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
I beg to differ Steve. The voting thread had descriptions of, what, 20 odd watches, many with some very subtle differences. However, there were no images of any of the watches in the voting thread. In order to be sure of which ones I was voting for, I had to switch back and forth between the thread with the final images and the thread where we could vote. Now on an iPad (the only device I had available to me at the time) this is not an easy thing to accomplish. It may be easier on a PC or Mac but it was still not a straightforward case of “yep, I like that one, I’ll vote for it”. I almost gave up; I’m sure many people probably did.welshlad wrote:Having lots of options didn't reduce focus. All everyone had to do was go through each design, one by one, and for each one decide if they would buy it or not. A simple yes/no decision for each one. That would be the same for another vote with, say, just a handful of options.
Having another round of voting for the leading 4 or 6 contenders with images would put this to bed. Let’s see if any of the leading contenders can actually get across the line in a simplified vote, where they can be easily identified by images next to the voting options.
Just my 2c worth...

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
100% agree. The aim is to see if any of the proposals garner enough votes to make them a reality. If not, then it's done. If somebody wants a different design then they need to convince 24 others to join them.Kansas City Milkman wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:51 pm The trouble is we’re starting to open up new desires and design options - back to where we were several weeks ago.

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
I'm a bit confused, Gary. This thread is the voting thread (although the poll is now closed) and all the pictures are in Kip's opening post.gaf1958 wrote:I beg to differ Steve.

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
100% agree as well. This is can not be the beginning of another drawn out design phase. 1 simple quick vote on the top 4 or 5 contenders, and IMO, either it flys or it doesn't.FloridaPhil wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 12:42 am100% agree.

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
Ahh, the penny dropped and memory has kicked in. Using TapaTalk I cannot see any voting options unless I open “web view”. TapaTalk wouldn’t load the images in web view (at least not until after I’d voted), so I had to switch between the two methods to work out which ones I wantedto vote for. In hindsight, writing them down on a bit of paper would have been better ... and having said that, I don’t know why I didn’t just do that.welshlad wrote:I'm a bit confused, Gary.

Nonetheless I do stand by two requests (the second one if technically possible) - one: that we vote again for the top 4-6 models and two: is it possible to have images of the models in the actual voting selection, not below it. I promise that I’ll use a PC to vote this time to help combat my incipient Alzheimer’s...

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
Fair enough. Just thought it strange to mention this multiple times when the chance was there for all to have their say in the prior design phase.MarkingTime wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 12:59 amDementia slipping in perhaps.StrappedUp wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:42 pmThat's the 2nd time you've mentioned that.

After all, I was more than willing to listen/mock-up other members ideas with the Dartmouth, as seen with Joseph's cream dial suggestion.
Surely it can only be a missed opportunity if better ideas were put forward and not acted upon?

Re: FLE #8 Design Vote
There were 2 competing models, C65 and C60.
That makes it hard to focus.
I would be happy about a second vote, but should not the model be clarified first?
Unfortunately, the willingness to compromise is often missing and it is criticized in many small details.
Often there is the impression that everyone wants their own FLE.
