We are now ready to present the options for voting for the Forum LE 2009. Keep in mind that whichever option wins, there will be subsequent polls to nail down a few additional options. The subsequent voting options will be mentioned for each model.
Each option will have an exhibition back. The autos will have an engraved rotor. This poll is open for 21 days.
For clarity, I will list each option here in a format to make it easier to see.
Subsequent Vote If
Option Movement Mvmt Case/Size Dial Style Description This Model Wins
=====================================================================================
1 ETA 2824-2 Auto C2 C2 SS case, Dial Color:
blue hands 1. White
and markers 2. Silver
Open Heart:
1. Yes
2. No
2 Unitas 6498 Mech C8 C1 onion crown, Case/Hand/Marker/Dial Color:

1. White
2. Silver
3. Blue
Hour Marker Style:
1. Arabic (like Aviator)
2. Baton (like the C5)
3. Roman (like the C1)
As long as the C5 movement colours is mostly silver, then it should like fine. The hands may need a lot of white to look presentable/readable enough against a backdrop of silver gears.
I don't think anyone who prefers a 38mm case would mind a 40mm if the thickness could be cut down to 9mm or less, but I'm an optimist and maybe a dreamer lol.
Come to think of it a C2 Automatic with blue hands and markers, white dial, no open heart and SS band might look the part.
I have enough autos and a nice hand wound would be nice but the C8 case is very large.I guess it has to be to fit the Unitas 6498 inside but like Carmen63 already mentioned i,m not really inspired by any of them
C5AKS - C7 Rapide - C4IPK - C6T3 - C6 Forum LE - W6 Splash - C8SWT - C70 DBR1
Breitling Hercules - Omega SMP - Boschett Cave Dweller - Seiko Monster - Porsche Design P'6310
Tissot Sea Touch - Oris Pro Diver - Dreyfuss 1925 - Tissot V8 - Deep Blue Pro Sun
glad the c2 is up there on the short list, but I seem to remember the c7 being the clear winner in the first poll, not that I'm to bothered as I voted for the c2 last time.
When are we likely to see pics?????????????????????
