Standard Blue with bader ordered. I figure it'll get more wear being a bit more casual than a brown. Plus it'll be easy to get a brown strap in the future if needed.

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
Was about to lock in my FLE, when I got the email for the autumn sale.
Had a quick peek and couldn't resist the jump hour c9 mk3 at 50% off! So I pulled the trigger on it, which depleted my FLE funds.
I've just emailed Wera to regretfully withdraw my FLE reservation. So #04 is now available should anyone want it.
Cheers, Wen

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
With the half price offer, now 15% off everything and £50 vouchers , none applying to the FLE it is beginning to look expensive. I doubt that they will all sell at the asking price!Soulspawn wrote:Was about to lock in my FLE, when I got the email for the autumn sale.

I think kip recently did an analysis of FLE resale prices and the results were quite positive.
Not sure what your intentions for your FLE are, but i was buying mine because I liked the design and to wear. A higher resale value would be nice, but my intention wasn't to flip it immediately for a premium.
I've just always had a soft spot for the JH but couldn't justify the price.

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
For those on the waiting list, have decided to cancel my order (having acquired a watch in the recent half price sale). So #49 is now back in the pot for someone else to enjoy.

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
That makes 4 who have cancelled their orders and posted. I wonder how many others have either cancelled and didn't post or just won't place an order?MadJam250 wrote:For those on the waiting list, have decided to cancel my order (having acquired a watch in the recent half price sale).

I will say the delay and some of the unknowns; FLE booklet? lack of any wrist shots by CWL, as well as some of those cancelling their orders has given me some second thoughts. As of right now I'm still in it to win it, but all of this has taken some of the wind out of my sails for the purchase.

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
I'm sure it will be like adopting a puppy at the pound, as soon as he gets in the house, unless he bites someone (or in this case is too small for my 8" wrist), I'll fall in love with the pooch and he will be staying...MadJam250 wrote:The reassurance of course is the safety net that is the returns policy if need be.Sea60 wrote:That makes 4 who have cancelled their orders and posted.

Re: 2015 FLE prototype arrival
Bravo, is this a first?
My C9 FLE doesn't have one and I assumed the FLE didn't get one, but then if other small number LE runs get one then why not the FLE.
