That's a tough call but it seems like the 450GBP option is the runaway winner.

Certainly true at the moment, but if the 37 members that voted in the first poll and haven't voted yet in this one, voted for up to 600/825 we would have a new leader!

If you haven't voted yet there is still time and they still matter. :)

Be cool if Hans could make a banner below the "visit the CWL website to support this forum" banner to tell/ link people to the forum watch voting area.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

One possible angle on this voting would be that customers seem happy to spend in the £300-£600 range for a CWL watch, which to me suggests that all the price rises over the past year or so have done the company no harm at all. Even two years ago everything bar the mechanical chronos were under £300 so it is interesting to see how times, and the image of CWL, have changed.

Or is it just that people will pay more for a FLE [exclusivity] ... ?

I just want something a bit unique to hold on to that I am quite sure none of my watch loving friends will buy.. its always nice, plus they think CW are a bit of a joke next to their more established brands so I love showing them off to be honest, one of my friends inparticular was most cheesed of when we got into an argument about watches at the pub and the very pretty bar lady said my GMT was nicer than his planet ocean :-)

So there you go... Christopher Ward: Great for annoying watch snobs!

Perhaps it's not just the image of CWL that has changed, but also the average profile of the CW forum member.

Lots of new members have joined since the last 2 FLEs were designed and released, while others have left the forum or no longer buy CW watches even if they still participate in the forum.

If a fair number of the newer members are willing to spend more on watches in general and those who left were those that preferred a lower price point, that would push the minimum price level up.
