Remember the Scooter versus the Jag, I don't remember it being a dead heat.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Silver/gold combo is great but not sure about the FLE marking. We need something like a little star and a word like Constel...er...or not. Actually I really liked the pseudo-tritium FLE*Swiss|Made*FLE idea.

For the love of God please not a green dial.

How about something nice and maroon?

Good point, Ian...no one did. We must await decisions and developments with interest and hopefulness. :D

Thank you very much. Yes I have volunteered my services, that was the main reason for having a play with a few ideas, I volunteered first then thought i should see if I could actually do it :D :D although I use photoshop a lot at work, most of the time it's removing unwanted items from photos, or adding in signs, it's for nothing nearly as good as working on a new watch design :thumbup:

You're very kind. I confess that the prospect of a "nice" slimline was what got me to join!!

I didn't think I would be to interested in the 2015 fle unless it was a c11 but as of right now a minimalist slim line is far more desirable. I really hope the charcoal dial, black strap, gold hands and indices, no seconds hand, needle hands, logo text only, and the subtle " fle Swiss made fle" all come together. I can't wait to buy and wear that watch with happiness and pride in good health.
