Saw this... I wonder what's up with the new Seamaster/PO... Wider bezel, blue color, and an intriguing chrono function (2nd time zone or IWC-style display of minutes and hours?).

I love the anticipation of BaselWorld.

Did I see an inhouse chrono PO?

What was that 2-register chrono Speedy?

Blue PO!

The Speedy looks good! The blue PO with ceramic bezel looks better than I thought it would. I'd love to see more of that one

My guess is that they're moving to a combined minutes/hours counter that reads elapsed time like a conventional clock face, a la the IWC 89360 movement.

Looks like the hands are different too on the PO... Are they still going to call it the PO or will it just be the new Seamaster line? Hmmm...

And won't cost much less than a Sub-C. :shrug:
Looks great though.

:jerk: The new PO and (what I assume to be) the POC. :excited: I'm not much on the liquid metal bit, but the 8500?! Wow. That new chrono is the shit. That makes the next purchase (unlikely anytime soon, mind you :raised: ), that much more difficult and changes the "list" significantly. :shock:

Yeah, I'm drooling all over that new POC.

Did you notice in the video the guy setting up the exhibit watches was wearing a Ploprof.

I am loving these. They also will not come cheaply. The day of the AD discounts hopefully arent over...

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now

Looks like they got a new clasp setup with a ratcheting extension. If you look closely you can see it in the 4th pic. To me, these trump even the new Exp II's but I wouldn't kick either out of bed.
