Jason told me (on Instagram) that a white dial version might be available. To bad it didn't make the cut. I'll try to grab a GMT variant this time around.

The orange did not make the cut either.

also keep in mind that the laguna is the laguna 2, so it's a reissue of a previous watch. maybe a reissue of the seaforth in 3 years won't be sold out right away.

i like the laguna, too. but like others have said, it's too big for me.

The Laguna looks weird on most straps. That's a deal breaker for me.

I didn't like the Laguna at all. I felt case finishing was less than stellar and the overall package was too big/boring on the wrist.
Seaforth was better, but I still don't think it's as good as the secondary market would lead you to suspect.

I'll be in for a GMT if the price doesn't suck.

I like the Seaforth a lot but I thought the case finish wasn't all that great, well the dive bezel in particular had a rough finish.
But overall I love the case design and dial.

Don't mind the case, but agree on the bezel being a bit rough.

Case brushing is sub-par, but chamfers looked good. Bezel felt cheap on mine.

That's a great color. Similar to the Crepas.

That yellow is fantastic. I wish it didn’t have a date window.

Ordering will be a fun 30 seconds, until it's over.

That yellow is great! I bet the ordering process will still suck though.

Texture on the grey is cool.

I still have both of mine, but I'm actually thinking I might prefer a date version...

Good catch, I REALLY hope he sees that and puts a border/applied marker there

I don’t know. A big applied marker might be overpowering there with the text and date.
