New Longines Spirit, a bit pricey at £4200.00 but the Black one look's nice.
Sent from a technical device.
The press photos look much better than the images on the website - the dial pattern looks less pronounced in real life. However the engraving around the side of the bezel and the price at £2590 put me off this one. That's a big premium over the standard 300T and as it's likely to be less readily available, I guess the usual discounts will be more difficult.
Omega presented their new Worldtimer: https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-o...22092432299001
I do like this range, but still a tad big with 43mm and 14,1mm high.
And the price… € 13.500!
I do like the bracelet on them.
I know it's a bit late for a new release:
Pricey but 5 day movement, polymer thingy case and daft dial. I like.I picked one up last month for a little under £3k and I'm quite impressed with it, the movement and 10 year warranty is spot on, I just need to find 'the perfect strap' for it now
A heads up for anyone interested, I saw on CW Sellors & Jura today that they can now be had for only £2362.5! bugger

Rather wish I hadn't seen this!

£2362 is tempting me out of retirement... Cracking watch.
The live shots and videos have moved me from 'oh god no' to 'I actually quite like that'
Not enough to pay the asking but if they did the case finish on the 300 with the full range of coloured dials then maybe I'd be interested.
I saw this in person today and it's really nice. The domed crystal and dial look really interesting in person. It wears pretty small with short lugs - just right on my 17cm wrist. It's quite thick for the diameter but the case profile is designed nicely to hide this well. The date at 12 works too - you barely notice it's there.

I only have one gripe and it’s that creamy lume. With everything else being so sharp and monochrome, I think pure white would have looked better.
Tried both variants on today - they wear very nicely on my 6.75 inch wrist. You don’t really notice the lume, the hands are thin and it doesn’t look awkward in any way. First TAG I have ever seriously considered adding to my collection - price is (IMO) on the high side so will likely wait for preowned examples to start hitting the market.

Love the new Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer 38mm.

I think that case is too small for the Powermatic GMT movement - because a GMT version would be great!
A SeaQ Chrono? With Big date? I might have a new Grail...
...but there is the small matter of £13,900 to overcome...Oh well...
A trio of new Seiko Prospex divers with a GMT function have appeared recently to the usual no fanfare...
I don't speak much Seiko, so I'll probably garble this, but they're part of the '1968 Diver's Modern Re-interpretation' series - which seems to occupy a middle ground between MM200 and MM300 (because what Seiko needs is more confusing market segmentation...
Anyway, the reason I mention these is because the three references include a really pretty 'Save the Ocean' LE (SPB385J1) that will inevitably attract some GS comparisons thanks to the hardened-steel case, ceramic bezel and attractively colourful textured dial -
Which looks especially pleasing on the woven band option -
As is usual for Seiko, their incredibly crap website provides no pictures of the above option, nor any mention of it...
The other two refs (SPB381 green dial and bezel, SPB383 black dial and bezel) are less striking but probably have wider appeal.
At 42.0mm diameter, 48.6mm lug-to-lug, and 12.9mm thickness they are actually smaller than the MM200s, albeit a hair thicker.
The LE is £1,600; the rest £1,400. All three are 'office' GMTs which will be as contentious as it is largely irrelevant to many of us.

Some new releases at W&W yesterday

My god I love the Czapeks. Absolute grail watches.

And yet, I don’t quite like the bracelet. I appreciate that they’ve come up with something original with the centre inks that’s a signature look, but it doesn’t quite work for me, the way for instance an Overseas bracelet does. Or even the one on the Ingenieur.
The skeleton reminds me of the Oris.
Quite nice these new Credor Goldfeathers… 37mm wide and only 7.7mm thick due to the 1.98mm thin caliber 6890. And the best part? Only €22,000! Apologies to anyone who just spat coffee all over their laptop.

Fab! I’d love a Credor (Eichi is just stunning), but they are serious money and I’m not sure what I want will ever really be something I want to spend that sort of money on!
Will that be your next VC?Some new releases at W&W yesterday

Probably the salmon dial with the platinum case, or an American 1921!

Sweet. I would love to see a picture of your collection.
Helson have just released a Caribbean, looks rather nice. I like the yellow.
Looks good. Rights the only slight annoyance with the Smiths Caribbean in having a dive bezel. Although it’s a fussier design, which is a shame. Tempting though.
This is rather special. That's my personal opinion of course. Love it.

I’m afraid I could not disagree more - it looks like a Kickstarter watch (and I mean that as a negative!).
Get a strap that fits would help, slim down the logo… I dread to even think of the cost. I suspect it would look like a mortgage to most people.
I do like it and I was a new 6263 owner. This will not be cheap.
I hate case hugging straps.
I do wish that Rolex would do what many brands are doing and that's homage pieces from their 60's and 70's models. It will probably never happen. Most of us wouldn't be able to buy one new anyway!
I find the modern Daytona's utterly bland and uninteresting, unlike the Zenith Chronomaster Sport and this. Maybe I'm way too influenced by display case backs on watches that deserve one. That must be it.

That is almost infinitely nicer than any of the official models

Not too sure about this one.

Have to say I really, really like it. A cracking homage to Mr Cussler. Wish I had the money to buy one, time for a watch cull I think !
Cheers

Oh dear. What do you call that finish? Kept in a sack of loose change for 10 years then grit for another 10?? I like a bit of patina or wabi but that just looks knackered!Not too sure about this one.

And the bracelet doesn't look to have the same amount of "damage".
Odd.
But isn’t that the point?
All sold out now, I hope someone else here managed to snag one as I suspect like the Type XX chrono they did with Mathey these will have gone to scalpers
That's a nice splash of colour. What model is that?

New green dial Santos. I like! https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...iny-green-dial
Got an email about the santos today . Like
That a lot
It is a strange place to have the date and with the bezel pip above I think that area becomes a bit busy. Although overall a good effort. Blue on rubber would be my choice.

I registered my interest in this... but that's a lot of cash. Superb looking watch [IMHO] but at that price... I think its a no from me.

This sort of price is quickly becoming the norm from the more main stream brands. Any watch from a Rolex, breitling, IWC, zenith, JLC etc seems to be 6k and up.I registered my interest in this... but that's a lot of cash. Superb looking watch [IMHO] but at that price... I think its a no from me.

Can't work out if I hate this or love it

Price is decent so I guess I don't hate it that much
I generally like all things Seiko but that's quite awful!

Yeah that's definitely an ugly duckling to my eye.
You hate it. That's quite the horror Seiko have put together. A rejected design for Diesel by the looks of it.
