The 50 quid voucher is only valid till the end of the year so I doubt it can be used for the FLE. Or can it?

I asked the question of Wera and was told it could be, but I assume it will work only if CW get the pre-order system up and running before the vouchers expire...

Yes, I realise that which is why everyone seems so keen to do the designing, but do you get first choice of numbers as well?
Wow I never realised.

Now that's a spare £450 I have to spend then! ;)

Plus what number to choose which I can then sell on to the person who wants that number :D

Really good work by the FLE Committee. Well done chaps. It's a difficult job with a huge time commitment and I know what it's like so my sincerest thanks. To deliver on time and to budget is impressive, but I also think this has been one of the best processes so far. Well done!

I've voted in every poll, so please don't grump at me even if I didn't want the bracelet option...
All that said, still not sure I will buy. I wonder if there are many like me (voters who won't pay up - it's like the opposite of politics!)?

I voted for A and a Bracelet and even without the Bracelet, I am happy A one. But I am still not sure if I want this or a C11 or C60 for next, y'know? The FLE design is great but plain too. Or maybe that's understated? I need to see the final drawing.

While I didn't vote, I'm still very interested in the "A" watch. It may just be the perfect 3rd CW for me!

I've seen in the WTB section a previously unreleased picture of design "B".

Are there any more pictures of design "A" which can now be shown in here?

Thanks to the FLEC for their great work. Well done.

A few words about the missing votes on the bracelet option: I am one of the people who "disappeared" after the decision for model A. Model A was never an option for me, so I thought that further votes from me for several options for a watch I'll never buy is a bit unfair.
It seems I was wrong with this opinion.
Sorry for that.

Perfectly rational decision. Same reason that I didn't vote at all once the 5atm WR was confirmed.
