Yeah I find the 300T a little chunky. The 300 is better but the uptick on price is hard to swallow.
Apart from the 18mm lugs which I'm not too keen on these could solve the issue by being smaller and £400 cheaper

A Marmite version of a Marmite watch that I happen to really like, this one amusingly self-referential and sanely priced at CHF 1,350 -
No, they do seem oddly in-limbo, with just Heathrow T5 and a couple of shops in outlet centres.
That ice blue GS dial is gorgeous but bloody HELL I wish they would put a little bit of their dial development into their bracelets.
To be fair that is actually an upgraded bracelet to the older ones, with a new clasp that lies totally flat (it’s a little odd that the old ones didn’t really, but it was always presented as a feature in photos). It also has an unusual wide bracelet design that plays with the proportions. They released a completely new bracelet with the white Omiwatari, though for me it’s too sparkly to choose over leather. There was also a beads of rice bracelet recently, again not for me but they’re not standing still. Some won’t be happy until they get Rolex style microadjustment, but I can’t say I’d prefer a bulky clasp on mine, given the fit and comfort level it has when properly adjusted.
Farer have introduced the Baily , a new moonphase . With a natural aventurine dial .

With the bracelet/rubber strap flare as it comes away from the case, I'm guessing it will wear more like a 20mm though. I'd be interested in seeing the weight listed too (and a comparison to the 300/300T weights).
I'll look forward to seeing some reviews and real world comparison to the 300T.
Well its about time, Tudor have finally made a Blackbay 58 GMT, 39mm dia and 12.8mm thick (perfect) and its a coke, thats me sorted then...
Thanks Tudor, only taken you 5 years to finally deliver a watch I've been waiting for, name down at local dealers...

Agree. Still can’t get to grips with the fake rivets. That having owned 2 58’s and a 41 GMT. At least this one comes as optional rubber and jubilee bracelet. Even with that it’s far too vintage looking for me. If this had been the current 41 Pepsi in this size I would have been sorely tempted.
I saw a YouTube short from Bremont announcing the new branding, and wondered why they weren't showing any watches in the video. Now I know why. I can't find anything to like about the Tera Nova, or the new Supermarine, even the bracelets look horrible. Certainly a change of direction for them!
I guess the honest answer is D - none of the above, as I won’t be getting any of them. Perhaps the Chopard is the prettiest, but it should be at that price. A good effort from Christopher Ward though, the main advantage of the Defy seems to be that it has Zenith written on it.

I wonder how much a service on the zenith would be compared to CW.
Probably about as much as the CW costs - anything LVMH is notoriously expensive. I've heard rumours from an ex-industry chap I know that they hold few parts for discontinued lines over 10 years old, and consider anything no longer in production to be 'vintage', and so charge higher rates for servicing.
