Re: 2013 FLEC progress report #1
I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing what the team can come up with once the final poll is finished next week, I know £450 isn't the largest of budgets available but on the brighter side it wont take much convincing Mrs Rookie to let me get another CWL watch so soon after my last.

We already know it's going to be a sub £450 sports watch. Within a couple of days we'll know the movement type and shortly thereafter the case.
I think the polls have done a good job of simplifying what could have been a nightmare job of making a choice.
Not been a problem for the previous fle's

With a limit of roughly 450 GBP I'm not getting my hopes too high.

Re: 2013 FLEC progress report #1
Honestly Kip, you could not have managed it better, the votes and the progression seem to be coming along nicely and I understand it all, and I'm a relative newbie.
Best of luck with the rest of the process, really looking forward to the end result!

I also am enjoying this year better than last year. I didn't get my way with the style but price and movement seem to be going my way. And maybe the sport watch will come out more on the marine-y end of the spectrum than diver-y end.

Anyway, the correct designation would be far side of the moon
