Hello All,

A newbie to the forum and this is my first post. I have been reading about CW watches for the past month and looking at lots of CW forum posts in the last few days. I just ordered a C5 Malvern Auto MK 1 and can't wait to receive my first CW watch.

I really like the FLE 2011 and interested in getting one. Can you please let me know if they are still available? I just sent an e-mail to Wera. Any comments on the FLE 2011 from current owners willl be appreciated.

Thanks
Bablo

I love my FLE and cant recommend it enough. As one of only 80 and being hand wound it's unique as special a watch as CW make

Welcome to "The Asylum"!

Yes there are a few still available. Contact Wera at Wizziethewiz@christopherward.co.uk to see what remains.

Please stop by the member introduction area and tell us about yourself. :)

ddav, thanks for letting me know. If I can get one, it will be my first hand wound. I am hoping Wera can confirm there are still a few available.

Kip, I will drop by the member introduction area. Glad to be here.

I contacted Wera and she confirmed that there are still a few C9 FLEs available. I will be getting serial number 52. I live in Canada, so getting the watch at 499 pounds as well. Order will be completed today, then the wait begins....

Excellent! Hope you enjoy it, the start of a slippery slope I'm afraid.

I think there was 4 when I asked recently, however there are no original straps so I was not interested, if they had some of course I would have had one of them, shame really

To be honest you can get a better strap for it anyway - it's good but it's not perfect (was it the one for the C40 SpeedHawk?) Could you ask for a strap that you would put to good use instead of the original one?
Cheers,
Andrew

I missed the ones with the FLE strap so had a choice to make. I went with the twin roll C90SXK
