Voted for C5 slimline and C65 classic. More inclined to doing something with the C5 slimline that's new this year.

Yes. "Great minds"is an agglutination of good taste. Herd mentality is simply an ovine or maybe bovine lack of discrimination.

That's a cheap way to create a watch forum! But for God's sake, give them a spellchecker as well!

'We' need to learn lessons from the c10 fle. I believe we tried to make it that specific that it ended up a disaster.
Let's look at the c2 fle & the c60 fle's. Both very successful. In essence, they were only marginally different to the originals.
So C60, c65 or slimline for me. Lets have a subtle change, different dial colour, different coloured indices etc.....

Also, I know some would pay four figures easily; most will want it more cheaper. The Slimline offers a good price point; perhaps remove slimline and replace with limited edition..... Along with whatever changes the fle is to have.

Just some ideas....

:lol:

And re: the c10 FLE, I quite like mine! I'm actually motivated to find a 2009 FLE to match up with it! I wear the 2013 FLE at least 2 times/week, but after reading some of the notes of the process, I can see why it may have gotten frustrating along the way. For me, just seeing the finished product, I immediately liked it.

Deep Forest Green Slimline with Gold hardware on a dark green gator strap. Brushed PVD case.

I have not been able to acquire a taste for green dials or gold cases- though I can understand others might like them. Perhaps it's more palatable in real life.

I'd rather stay more conservative and wear the C5 slimline FLE than be radical and keep it the drawer.
