Paul, my understanding is that the dial finish will be essentially the same as the C8 MkII.

Having not seen one in real life I am assuming that it is matt?

Been away for a few days with no internet access, first I knew of the FLE was when catching up with my e-mail. Wow it has taken a couple of hours just to read all the posts on the subject.

Firstly congratulations to the FLE team it is a beautiful looking watch.

I have yet to decide if I will place an order, I am going to sleep on it.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Of hand-wound movements, black dials with red 12s and red second hands at the six o'clock position :D

I actually dreamed of the FLE on Thursday night when it was revealed...

There's something about it...

I'm also still waiting for an answer about how thick the case is.

We are expecting the case to be about 13/14mm thick as this is a standard C9 case which is 13mm. Because the caseback has to be reengineered we do not have an exact measurement at this time. The Unitas movement is flat so I would not expect much variance from that.

You guys did a great job. It came out great and isn't a variation of something CWL already does. Congratulations.
