Abso-bloody-lutely!
I have a watch-fund and the FLE has a reservation, but if I don't like the result of the deliberations the money will be spent on something else.
Simples!

Same plan for me -
C60 based - wait for 2012 FLE
Anything else - interested.
I think it will end up a
Seiko style divers watch
with a vintage Tissot movement
on a Maratac strap
with a really odd name that you have to google to know what it means
You get two for the price of one so you can wear 2 at a time
and it will be a love or hate job but if you love it you got to be devils advocate and say you hate it

You forgot, it has to be able to make French Fries and do the laundry.

I know the English value steep tradition and I think this next Forum LE should start a tradition. Instead of just making a cool looking watch why not have a quality that no other CWL watch has. What are the commonalities of the last two FLE watches? Automatics? Blue color somewhere in it?
I think this next watch and all the FLE watches to come should have something that distinguishes it from all other watches and whatever that something is, should be incorporated in every generation of FLE to come.

Both LEs so far have done exactly what you are saying. The first one incorporated an automatic movement in the C6, which at the time didn't exist. The second LE did the same thing with the C2. It might be fair to say that both LEs led Chris to developing standard models based on the LEs.
Maybe you mean something completely different though? But, whatever that something different is, it is limited by the movements that Chris can get his hands on.
Arrgh, I wish an email had been sent out to forum member about this, I was lying low for a few months after there as a wee bit of an 'atmosphere' around here and came back to find I missed the LE!
Well done on it, looks great, will have to wait for used sale!
