Awesome, that'd work for me. Does it matter that I joined the forum after the voting started - i.e. does that preclude me from purchasing one?

I believe you can order one even after the voting closed.

As soon as the post goes up to reserve one anyone can put in a reserve order as long as they are a member of the forum. It does not matter that they have joined that day.

Or with the new sales corner rules should we put the announcement up in sales corner? :twisted: :twisted: :lol:

The main voting hasn't begun!

What you voted for in the sequential polls (remember those?) was: style (sport), price (up to £450), movement (auto) and case (C10)

The FLEC, having cogitated, deliberated and taken all suggestions on board, has come up with three designs that are now with the Swiss side of the business. When Kip gets the thumbs up from Chris the voting process will begin for the final choice.

At some point in the future, orders will be taken, and that process will be explained by Kip at the time.

All members of the forum, I believe, are eligible to place an order.

There, I don't believe I've told you anything I shouldn't (e.g. sneak previews). Hope that helps to explain where we are at.

Pretty sure I read somewhere about the last FLE that you don't have to be a member to buy one so even those that just lurk can submit an e-mail and buy one if they like the look of it :thumbup:

Correct, You don't have to be a member although with the limited quantities, if you're not a member, you might not be aware in time?

Thanks for clearing things up. Sorry for the newb questions but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be disappointed (if I was ineligible to order based on join date) if I ended up following this closely and voting in subsequent polls.

No! :(

Things are out of the Commissions hands at this time. We are waiting on higher powers. :)
But but but...

I know its out of our control, I am sure I am not the only one dying to vote on these designs!

Everytime I see a new post, I check this forum. Though I'm really waiting for the 13 number of threads to change to 14. Not that I've memorized it or anything.

Let's hope the waiting is soon over because otherwise the expectations will rise too high and the end result may disappoint. Personally I would opt for showing us the 3 choices now without further waiting and take the chance they are too expensive. It could cause a messy situation later but at least we can all participate in the fights about the costs etc. Right now that scenario sounds like more fun to me than the current 4 post per day asking if are we there yet. :D :D
