I like, especially with the GMT hand. May sound crazy but has anyone concidered a large 1 and 3 on the model with the date @ 6 o' clock?

I have to say these (especially the left hand one) are quite good. I hope they're seriously considered!

The design is good - from a purely selfish point of view I would like to see more colour in the dial/hands etc. I have a few black-faced watches.

Time will tell - I believe that the FLE committee are working on the design as we speak?!

We are indeed.

Certainly. All the designs and suggestions have been considered. Even the unofficial thread - http://www.christopherwardforum.com/vie ... =1&t=12434. All the suggestions were looked at and compiled into a spreadsheet and then sent to all at the FLEC.

Due to Hurricane Sandy Kip has been stranded in the UK and has been unable to post the poll to start the process of choosing the final design.

However we have managed to get the poll put up and it is under General Discussion.
http://www.christopherwardforum.com/vie ... =1&t=14612

The three designs are all there for you to peruse and then chose the one that you wish to eliminate. The remaining two will go on to a further poll to decide the winner. This will run for 5 days.

Thanks for your patience.

Din't realize how much the 2013 FLE resembles the Transocean Day & Date - If there would have been a day window added at the top, we would have had a dead ringer! Can't wait to see production model pics and of course in person, when it arrives to it's new home in Texas!!

I thought I would ask this question here before I submit a query to Wera. Will CWL be allowing for engravings on the FLE2013?

I am sure they will, but be aware that my understanding is that you can't return an engraved watch if you don't like it as you usually can with CW. Better perhaps to have it engraved locally when you are sure you want to keep it...
