2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
As Kip has been delayed due to the stormy weather he has asked the FLEC to post up the poll in order to keep the process on time. The actual poll is in the wrong area as only Kip can create threads in the 2013 FLE sub forum but it will be moved when everything is back to normal.
The FLEC has come up with three designs for the forum to vote on. These designs have been costed by the Swiss and they will all come in at £450. There is no cost advantage to one design over the others.
NOTE - the first vote will be an elimination vote and will run for 5 days. The remaining two designs will then go head to head for a final vote.
On the choice of three watch designs please choose the one you do NOT want to go through. The design with the most votes will be eliminated.
Note that these are drawings done by the FLEC and final specs modifications may be altered by CWL for production purposes.

I second that, though I have a stronger preference for A than C. But all they are some lovely designs, full marks FLEC!

Re: 2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
A and B are my favourites, with a strong leaning towards B. I'm afraid C is a distant third!

Re: 2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
Well done FLEC! Three cracking original designs and as no one has yet mentioned, that is a fantastic choice of strap!
I don't intend to purchase the FLE so I'd pull out from voting, I am sure no matter which one got picked, this year's FLE is going to be HUGELY popular.
Enjoying every seconds of the forum life, simply awesome.

Re: 2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
Very nice... My favorite is C with A being second. C is the most non standard design hence for me the perfect candidate for a Forum Edition. Design A, while also beautiful, is a little less spectacular. The gray dial of B doesn't do it for me.
I especially like the hands on design C.

Re: 2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
It is actually galvanic silver. The image really does not bring it out.Halt wrote:gray dial of B
I would recommend that people read the descriptions as that will tell you about the details like the colour of the dial and the brushed/polished aspects of the cases for each design. The images are done by the FLEC to show the designs. We are not professional designers.

Re: 2013 FLE – Design Elimination Poll
A massive well done guys! All three are lovely and stand out from the rest that CW has to offer really well! For me A is best followed by a close C with B to go I am afraid. I love the simplicity of A and think it will wear on my rist really well so I hope it wins. Taking into account the trouble with the weather over the pond I want to say a big thank you not just for coming up with the designs but also not keeping us waiting any longer.
