[Panerai7]

It looks like very authentic old trit that has aged to an ugly color.

Hehe, nbtimes special ?

The market seems to have caught up with him. So many sharp lugged vintage watches with perfect lume. Now that LAWW is doing it... seems to be a-ok with everyone.

Well, I'm not getting Seiko's new diver...too big. And the hands on the cheaper ones suck.

The Tudor 58 is nice...but all long as there's a collar around it, I'm out. Tudor did well with their new models this year though. And w/Rolex's new models and their hefty prices, Tudor looks to be on the up-tick.

I agree about the Seiko, I thought about the hi-beat but I don't wear 44mm watches any more plus it costs too much. The Tudor BB 58 on the other hand, I will be jumping on for sure. I loved the original, except for the dimensions, always wished they had made it the size of the old Sub, and now they have.

[nweash]

Only Breitling I could ever see myself wearing. I thought it was a 3705 for a second.

Love this. Length aside it’s all win for me

Jeff's back and a rare snarky Brice response. This thread delivers!

Me too (I wouldn't wear it). It looks very much like a 3705.

Until you need a new case!

Highly unlikely, but point taken. I'd personally take my chances on the IWC. $7K for a DLC'd Breitling with a 7750 inside?

[outtatime]

This is kind of interesting from Longines

I don’t know if just the photos or what, but not digging this. Looks kinda cheap.

WIth only a few exceptions (PloProf being one of them), I'm not really a fan of mesh bracelets, especially when they are the only bracelet "option". To me, it's just being "we didn't really want to design an actual bracelet, but someone said it should have one, so...here."

Some photos posted on Omega Forums.

The new blue SMP is shown with the existing SMPc in blue. The new color appears similar to the blue dial WG Rolex Sub.

[logan2z]

That wave dial really does look bad.

In fairness, the waves may be like the Deepsea chapter ring; they may be better in person.

I'd go for neither. They're both too expensive and feature a workhorse movement.

sorry, 'in person' is not gonna help that wave dial

[JP Chestnut]

Anyone who buys that should just cut to the chase and set their money on fire.

Yep, and the new blue color sucks as well. And whats with the Helium crown. Complete fail by Omega. Again. And I like Omega.

A pretty cool new pilot's chronograph from Guinand, based on a model from the '60s called the 361.





ETA/Valjoux 7753, 40.6 x 15.2 mm case, 1865 €

https://www.guinand-uhren.de/model-361/model-361.html

They also introduced a watch called the Duoindicator

This is the kind of stuff I wish Sinn was doing.

I like the top one a lot.

[Chocodove]

The Omegas remind me of Swatches.

[hoppyjr]

A couple guys on TRF are claiming their Omega sources have told them of other stuff that is coming but wasn’t shown. Take it with a grain of salt.

[Denizen]

The FF Grande Date is in titanium and brushed - I didn't know that at the time BP announced it. Still not interested in it, but this may get some interest from some.

Just noticed the new tapered helium crown, why?????? And the what did they do to the hour hand.

Love the new Tudors but don’t think I could get on with the fake rivet bracelet.

[JP Chestnut]

Old bracelet probably fits the gmt.
