Well, it's been a week now and I estimate that about thirty people responded.
What's the next step?
I'm anxious to get this moving because I hate the hands that came with the watch. There is so much white on the dial that I have to "hunt" to find the hands in order to read the time. I don't have this problem with my type A Stowa watch because the blue hands provide a contrast between the black dial and the white lume on the hands.
I'm willing to take anything at this point in order to be able to glance at the time; blue hands, red hands, yellow hands, I don't care!
Be aware that the blue part on the hands will only be a very thin strip on the edge, just like the black on the existing hands. The rest will be lumed, same as now.
Of course, the widest area on the minutehand will be much closer to the tip, so it will be more visible!
I have counted 29 'yes' and 1 'no' so we're still missing 20 votes.
I want to go forward with the maximum number of participants to keep the price down as much as possible.
Greetings,
Frank
Seeing that Laco are turning the LE into a serial watch, I was wondering whether the blued hands project need necessarily remain a very limited edition of 30-50, or whether Laco might now have an interest in procuring a larger batch, and selling them as an optional extra with the watch, like regular watch costs €x, with steel-blued hands it costs €x+y.
At least something worth exploring, if that hasn't been done yet.
Just my two bezants' worth.

I'd try to mail the remaining owners before moving any further.
To help that I've done this list in Excel (sorry for the look, I swear it looks quite tabular on Excell). If Bhanu can provide the adresses I could drop them a mail with the link to this thread, asking for their reply.

Hi, I'm keen. But does it mean I have to sent the watch back to Laco? Will I be double taxed?
