Looking at watch A, is there any chance that the date window could be at the bottom (as per watch B) - the face would then be balanced - i.e. the 3 and 9 would be cut by crosshairs.

It would make it more symmetrical but the date window combined with the 'automatic' text would leave hardly any crosshair in the 6 o'clock direction. It wouldn't be my preference.

I noticed on dial "A" lume shot, there is a perfect square that seems to be of a different coating as the rest of the dial. Does anyone know if this will find itself in the final dial? This looks really nice! :clap:

That one has already been asked earlier in the thread.

Just to confirm, the one to eliminate at this stage would be A.
Thanks

The question is do you take the blue pill or the red pill?

I think indeed that everybody who wants to end up with 'B" or 'C' better vote out 'A' at the moment and not 'C' or 'B' :D :D :D
I'm going to change my vote.

You could think of it as voting between a real FLE ('B' or 'C') or just a nice other watch ('A') this round. IMHU

Plus 1 but it can't be done I think.

I like A the best, slightly reminds me of a ball watch, would love the gas tubes but again it can't be done. Looks like a classic if it wins. Love the cross hairs.


Watch C reminds me of the CW sector watch.................................... Marmite

Why don't you just go for the C9 Harrison? There's lots of blue on that.
No date. :(
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Yep, I'm with you there. Some disagree but I need a watch to tell me the time and the date, so will never buy anything that can't do these. So, the C9, JH and C900 are out.

Watch B has the date windows at 6, so I assume it is an option from Sellita.

Paul, these are the final designs. There is no more scope to amend them (unless, for example, there is a major issue discovered in the manufacturing process).

Glad to see I agree with most - lume on the 'C' option is fantastic. However, I think the styling of 'A' is best.
