^ looks like the same long lugs as the LLD, but with an external bezel and better hands. I like.

I’d love to get a set of those hands and swap onto a LLD.

Screen shots of the new Seiko for normal people. It’s apparently the MM300 style case, but only 13mm thick. I want.

ImageImage
At the end of the day, this will be Seiko's big winner from this year. They put it on the right bracelet and have given it diashield and sapphire. Similar to the SBDC051, which is my favorite Seiko watch in my collection. People knock the hands, but they grow on you.
Image
Image
I like the hands. I also much prefer this case shape to the 051/053 shape. Blue bezel on rubber for me.

I love the idea of a slightly trimmed-down MM300 (or close to), but still would want to change the hands. :shrug:

Is it just me or is the minute hand a little short?

Can’t remember officially, but I *think* it was 46mm? Short L2L and a cushion case, but still...

Not sure if everyone caught this new Oris already. Just seeing it today.

Oris's new ProDiver GMT has a 49mm titanium case, along with 1000M WR,
Rotation Safety System bezel, black wave pattern dial with luminous hands,
and markers, 24 hour second time zone, central pointer hand, yellow, and
white accents, Oris Cal. 748 (modified SW220-1) and titanium bracelet,
or rubber diver's strap too.

Have some pictures right here...

OceanicTime's link also for you guys...

I tried on a Pro Diver a few months ago at an AD, and for how enormous they are, they wear OK. This one is meh for me.

It's a great point Patrick ! :thumbsup: Guess the design must be slightly stealthy with it's profile sir.

Oh wow, think that one is fantastic Zach !!! :excited:

Has a neat vintage feel, but with more modern case size evidently. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hadn't seen this one anywhere, so thanks so much for the sneak preview !

Some of my favorite watches that I photographed were still technically under embargo, so we won't see 'em for a few months. Bell & Ross and Doxa had some really neat stuff, in particular.

Yeah the lugs do look long. Lug holes placement will make it or break it

Just to comment on Omega's Seamaster 1948 LEs:

I had noticed the kinda thick lugs on the 1948 models...guess it's not too bad if that's the only negative. But looking today at some vids, the rather thick metal around the crystal...too bad Omega didn't trim that back.

Still a handsome piece...the small seconds is the better of the two, for me.

I loved the LLD but the long lugs ended up driving me to sell it. I think this one will have the same issue.

How were the holes placed? Closer to the case or at the very end of the long lugs?

I actually kind of like it. It would be a great successor to the last ~$3400 Seiko LE that you owned. I'm not sure I'd pay BP money for it though!
