No we are having a break as there was the 10th anniversary watches. People wanted to wait and see what they were. Plus it did not feel right doing another FLE when this one had not sold out.

They were on the CWL web site but no more so it may mean that all 100 have been sold, An email to Wizziethewiz@christopherward.co.uk will confirm.

If they are sold out then it is the 2nd hand route that you will need to explore.

One just gone up for sale on the CW forum sales area. Asking £350 - lives in Australia. I realise that you don't have access to that part of the forum yet; so I don't know how you get around that.

Thanks. Just bought one over the phone from Wera as they still have a few left in stock. Very happy. :D

I have fingers crossed for a C65 based 2015 FLE. If not, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy one (after mulling over dial colours for a few months :lol:)

Me too. I'd change the strap, but this is a lovely and highly under-rated watch. Enjoy it!

Worn mine every day since it arrived with the first batch. Amazed that they have been so difficult to sell.

I think the stock strap did it no favours in terms of sales. And the photos on the website were not very flattering at all. A great watch in the flesh.

Agreed. I think there was quite a lot of negativity surrounding the process that turned many people off. I came late to the party in ordering so missed most of it.
