    I missed the first one, but I'm ready for a companion piece for my CFDV! Thanks for the update and the great news, Michael!

    I'm with Dick and the others - sign me up -- even though we don't know what it is yet! I'm certain it will be great.

    Those are really great news!

    Can't wait for more details... With little more than a year to go we'll have plenty of time to feed all sorts of speculation and build lots of expectations,
    can't wait...

    Great news, Michael. A Pilot looks like an excellent choice. I do hope that everyone has the chance to buy one. I am looking forward to further news later.
    Thanks, Peter

    The Ingenieur had a grey dial instead of a black dial, the Da Vinci had a silver dial with gold coloured markers and hands instead of a black dial and silver subdials with silver coloured markers and hands. So, the differences should be sought in the easy to interchange parts like dials, and maybe even straps.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Thanks for the clarifications. So given changes are more likely cosmetic than an upgrade of movement, it is steel, and it already has an in-house movement we really are narrowed down to Spitfire or BP only. I could live with either but preference would be BP. Bring it on.

    The CFDV is also different I the fact it has a rotor which is embossed Collectors Forum 2010 and 1 out of 100 on it all viewable through a sapphire case back. In addition it was delivered with a unique metal bracelet, with micro adjustment.

    Best news I've heard in quite a while!

    Can I "sign up" for one sight unseen, design not finalized, dial color not announced, and price not yet determined? :-)

    Thanks for your work on this, Michael!

    What he said.

    Been a busy week away from the forum, but this is great news to come back to.

    Thanks Michael for your efforts.

    I'm not sure how the purchase process works, but I'm looking forward to finding out and hope I'm lucky enough to eventually be a CFIII owner.

    The CFI also had a special back, with the collector's name engraved and the watch number (x/100),

    Excellent news!
    Let us try to be patient, avoid to interfere, avoid to launch a thousand personal wishes, avoid to be impolite and uncivilized.....as we have seen what this can bring to a Forum.

    I am surprised nobody has posted pics of CF1 and 2.

    Anyone tempted?

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks, sorry missed those, grey and silver appear to be the colour.

    Slate BP if there has not already been one? Or maybe a Spitfire with an hour counter on the Chrono and a silver face?

    I did not even know of CF watches until this thread appeared :-)

    I haven't been around for CF1 and CF2. But still I like them both very much. I could even say I like the CF2 more. (I wonder if they are still available?) Trouble is, the CF2 is out of my budget. So I can only hope, the pricing for the pilot third in the line will be more friendly. As I do not have a pilots watch yet... ;o)
