Perhaps not the the best use of a quarter of a million pounds, or the most stylish of fashion statements. But to be fair, it’s considerably more fun than playing with the bezel on your desk diver.

Oh my… Not new releases exactly, but perfect restorations by the manufacturer, which might include recreating parts. No mention of the price, but presumably ‘If you have to ask’…

And a few others too.

Quite like the idea of a full lume Tissot PRX for £320 as a summery watch, though perhaps not on a white strap

I hope they make these rubber straps available in different of colours.
Black will be fitted to other variants, but yes it'd be great to see some other options. I don't think they'll prove that expensive to buy OEM either as I see the leather ones are £45.Originally Posted by neuman356

Hamilton's new Jazzmaster Chrono, which I think looks pretty good...
This new omega from the back of yesterdays paper.
Ad essentially says “homage to the 2531/2541. But on mesh. With no lume pip on the bezel. And some 007 bits on the caseback that no one will be able to see when you’re wearing it.
I thought the 2531 was great. Right price, right quality, only issues were the bezel was difficult, and the helium valve was pointless, and every other businessman on the tube was wearing one.
This one’s still got the scalloped bezel and the helium valve. Hate to think what it costs though.

It’s 42mm and 14,3mm high. €9000.
Gimme the old Bond all night long…
The new steel Bond 300 is £7700 and while it really appeals it’s a steep price to pay for a technical downgrade from the regular version, Bond animation on the reverse aside.
And what’s with the cheap looking mesh with holes in it for the buckle tang? The first time I saw one of these I thought it was someone adding a cheap mesh from Amazon to check the look before ordering the proper Omega seatbelt mesh of old. Does any other brand out there beyond the £100 fashion tat do a mesh like that??
Spotted this beautiful thing with a lovely NOS Landeron hand-wind movement.

I really fancy the "Sand" colour.
Anyone know anything about the brand? Decent? Is the price a bit steep?
Surprised this Carrera Panda hasn’t been spoken about more.
Seems the 60th Carrera Panda took all the limelight. For me the WoS Ed is the pick of the bunch on many Panda chronographs (Tudor, Breitling)

^^^ I like that in the Sand.
Would make a lovely holiday watch.

Fratello with Aquastar, jumping on or close to the Tiffany Blue bandwagon.
I quite like the look of it, but for me the decompression bezel that's not uni-directional suggests it's both a dive watch and not a dive watch.
36.75mm is a nice size, though. Early bird price of Euro1500 seems ok-ish.

Not sure what Seiko is doing with the KS line. One design, first 39mm with date and 6L movement, then in 37mm with a new 6R movement, no date. Now back to 39mm with date, but with a 6R!
None of which are particularly accurate or regulated, even if they were able to be, which is odd, given the sub brand’s heritage:

Another "I wouldn't wear them, but damn those are pretty!" offering - this time from Louis Erard; ChF2,222 isn't barmy either...
39mm, with a Sellita SW261-1 inside. I'd struggle to decide which colour I like the best, thou' the blue hands of the Tiffany-esque light blue would probably win...
Loving the look of the T50 and it would appear to have lots of good points for me personally. I agree with the "no red" comment above and I also prefer the handset to that on the U50. 41mm is a tad above my sweet spot but that could be slightly off-set by the 4 o'clock crown. The only small negative I can see is what seems like a standard SW300 movement with only 42hrs power reserve. That makes the price seem a little steep but otherwise this looks like something that would stack up against the Pelagos 39 pretty well.... or even the original Pelagos?

I do like the look of that Tag Heuer. I like the look of the price less so.

I really like the look of the O&W Astrochron. Ticks a lot of boxes: under 40mm, 369 subdial layout from a Valjoux 7753, decent price @ approx £2k. I’m also keen on the regatta timer minute totaliser.
But nearly 17mm thick.

Another nice couple of Tag Heuers but, once again, the prices are a little on the steep side.

That’s ace, is unisex? I am a big zenith fan and they never seem to get the credit they deserve.
Cashing in on popular colours !
Wow that is stunning, can’t wait to try one on. Love the light blue as well.

I'm saving up....
Saw those earlier - look really striking, and especially like what they’ve chosen to do with their logo. Really makes the dial stand out, and a brave (and good, IMO) decision by a brand to subdue their own name)
I do quite like the look of the new mid size Seiko 5s at 36mm.
https://monochrome-watches.com/intro...h-specs-price/
The images were on Instagram but have now been removed. They match previously leaked information on other forums about dial colours: black, silver/grey and teal. I think one of the models is reported to be titanium and fully brushed - probably the silver by the looks of those pics. Price rumoured to be around 12k USD. If the bracelets come with micro adjust in the clasp and are quick release so that rubber and leather straps can be fitted easily (and ideally would be supplied with the watch), I think it'll be pretty popular.
Yes, they popped up on my Instagram feed
New Nivada Grenchen x Fratello. Comes in 4 colours
I have to agree with you there Tony.

Has anyone actually seen the Zenith in 36mm? It looks very tempting, but I fear they will have done the usual trick of offering a choice of too big and too small.
