OK, now we're all agreed, where and when do we place the order?

I completely agree with this. The watch is much better without it.abently wrote:Blue text, gets my vote.
As soon as you remove the "2009 Forum" print from it, the face becomes perfectly balanced imho.

Great mock ups by the way. Many thanks.
Re: 2009 Forum LE Poll : Dial Text (Final Poll)
A very nice watch face and well done to the folks in charge of the Forum.
At the risk of frustrating some - in my view simple and clean is always more elegant. Agree with blue LE, no Forum reference. I also agree with the removal of the border around day/date, or perhaps toning down the blue border around the day/date with a thinner more subtle line - perhaps also do the same on the border of the hands? If I may also suggest at this late stage, has there been any consideration to removing the Christopher Ward logo from the face and putting it in blue raised lettering on the crown instead?
Thanks for hearing me out.

As with many others I'm for Blue with the removal of "Forum 2009" to clean things up a bit. The people who will own this watch will know it's a Forum LE, so we won't have to read it on the face...

Is it possible to have a mock up of this dial version with brown leather strap?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I tried the thinner line, doesn't look the part with the rest of the watch...412Driver wrote:A very nice watch face and well done to the folks in charge of the Forum.

Also tried without any line and the watch looks 'naked'.....
Maybe with a grey line instead of the blue it would be better, but I'll leave that up to tooks.
Moving the "London" word down 2-3 pixels definitely improved it though.
The CW logo needs to change before it can ever look good on its own... so in that regards, I think its best to leave the top section as is.

The word forum shouldn't be on the dial, on the back yeah, but not the dial, it turns the watch from looking cool as, into a bit of a computer nerds watch.
