Today the postman tried to deliver a package at our house, but there was nobody home..... :(
Now I can get it tomorrow at the postoffice. I'm not sure but I hope it's the LE.

I received mine today, and whilst it is a very nice watch, I am somewhat disappointed that the strap is identical to my Red Peregrines!
I didn't see sand blasted finish stated in the description for the Kingfisher. I've emailed Chris asking to swap for an IPK strap.......
Cheers,
Adam.

Merry Christmas to me!!!! My LE arrived yesterday. I got it sized today. It is much better than I could have hoped for. Hope my pics do it some justice. Thank you CW.

Some comments: Regarding the elves, Mine also arrived with the strap only attached on one side. I really find this to be a bit curious. I was a little disappointed when I couldn't find the LE # on the back (my eyes aren't that good), but eventually I spotted it. Very tiny, almost an afterthought I might say. I had also ordered an extra stainless bracelet (mine has the IPK ) that did not come, nor was I charged. Enough of the negative.

The C6LE is simply stunning. The blue dial just jumps out at you, all the while changing shades in different light. I am truly pleased with the IPK bracelet and believe for me it was the perfect choice. The movement is so smooth the sweep hand simply glides over the dial mesmerizing me into several minutes of viewing. I am truly pleased overall.
Jump in Mr. President, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks again to you Hans for all your efforts at putting this together. Thanks to CW for this Masterpiece.

Chris messed up a lot of things with the L.E., I hope next time will be better.

My strap was also attached to one side only. This was the same with my yellow Kingfisher. Strange!

My watch arived also today (Rijssen, The Netherlands).

Very beautiful. I get used to the size (thickness) and weight.
I wear my previous watch about 15 years (a Citizen, 4.5mm thickness).
Also, how to use the crown?? was for me new (Thanks to Hans).

Has anyone got their LE yet?

Post by thewatcher »

i have had mine a few days and the leather strap seems to be wearing quite quickly where it touches the watch anyone else with a leather strap seen this yet. i dont like the metal straps but may have to get one otherwise its going to cost a lot to get new straps. i do love the watch face mind you. i agree with the other email about the very small number for the limited edition could have been bigger it looked bigger i thought in the prototypes. :D

The limited engraving is rather subtle I agree! :) Guys, we are learning so much about LE's, lets plan a new LE for next year! :jump: Any suggestions?

The ticket in the mailbox said I could get my package from the postoffice after 10:00h tomorrow.
I tried the postoffice at 17:30 today................ and I got my LE. :cooler:


The dial is even more beautifull then I expected, but the IPK bracelet is IMO a little disappointing.
The end links at the case-side are not IPK, it looks a little cheap this way.
The IPK-finish hasn't the quality finish as expected from CW, it looks like brought on with a brush.

I'll make some pics to show you in a few days.
