There is nothing boring about A The brilliant white dial with contrasting hands offers up the time without a second glance, the rapier designed second hand nestles perfectly on the digits and the full width crosshairs dissecting the double digits is aesthetically pleasing in the extreme. This is a watch devoid of gimmicks that will withstand the test of time. And, maybe, only £400 with a voucher. What a bargain!

PS. Please CW may I have a voucher?!

Try getting hold of the C20 FLE. :D

I wouldn't consider the C20FLE boring, it was of course the 1st auto in that case design, the case itself is more interesting and a better sports base than the C10 especially as it has the bracelet option. Its detailing is more striking than the 2013FLE's is and by the very fact that people hang onto them, it's very desirable. All I am saying is that I would expect this years model to change hands more regularly because I think it has less long term appeal in terms of it being a keeper.

Looks like there will be a chance I will get my preference: White dial at 42mm. The "A" design is just perfect, for me :lol: .

I.I.D wrote:In most areas of life the majority of people will take the safe option, it's human nature. Watch C isn't that radical, but is the most marmite design which tends to frighten the conservative majority who generally look at the here & now, rather than considering what has the potential to be a future classic. I suspect A will sell out quickly but in time might be the most traded FLE because it will become boring very quickly.
+1

It is a shame if you get the unique chance to change a standard design in form of a FLE and then choose for something that could be in the regular collection.

That is why I'm glad that all the 'B' eliminators choose to eliminate 'A' in the next round :D

A good rule to live by. Personally I have the same with yellow. Hence I'm waiting for the Titanium C11 Makaira.

That could be taken as really quite creepy...

Why don't you just go for the C9 Harrison? There's lots of blue on that.
