I think it reperesernts the lowest initial demand for a FLE. The main reason maybe that the ultimate watch followed a number of manufacturing compromises, was subjected to a long delay and was not quite the design of the FLEC. It almost led me to cancel my order but Im glad I didn't as I'm very happy with the piece. I've worn it every day since it arrived, including a long safari trip and it remains unmarked, speaking well for the quality of the case, bezel and crystal. Would I have paid £525 for it? I doubt it.

28 left as of June 3 and no longer listed on the CW site now as the Last Few Remaining section is gone. Could signal a reduction for the (hopefully) soon upcoming Summer sale?

Something blue with white stitching. I currently have mine on a blue Hirsch Modena from Watch Obsession. Have a look at the selection here:

I just tried to put 12 of them in my basket and the website said the quantity was not available. 11 worked though, so if the website is up to date there are less than a dozen remaining!

Not taken any yet but I really like it - not an instant wow in the box but as I wear it I love the clarity in the face
