Fantastic mockup!
Wonder if Tudor will ever move on from Snowflake hands.

Another bit of weekend fun hopefully.
With Watches and Wonders coming up in a few weeks, recent releases from Omega, Tissot and I'm sure other Swatch group brands soon, I think we're heading into a busy period for announcements.
I've given up hope on last year's ranger re-release but I'm pivoting to expect a Black Bay Explorer. Hopefully in 38mm. I'm no photoshopper but I mocked some images up while I was bored, using stock images from Tudor. I'd prefer a dial without gradient but as I said, I'm no photoshopper...
Anyone else want to hazard some guesses or throw in some hopes?

Can’t see Tudor doing an Explorer dial like the above, I think they are looking to put some space between themselves and Rolex not clone the Rolex models.
I’d love to see a Pelagos without the words ‘Rotor Self Winding’ on the dial…. Then I could buy one!
Looking forward to seeing what comes up but I'm primarily hoping for two things from IWC. A 39mm Mark XIX ideally without date and with a tapering, quick release bracelet like those on the recent Pilot Chronograph 41mm. I'd also like to see a new Ingenieur which is a bit more true to the Genta styling. Fingers crossed.
Bremont release was a bit meh. To be fair the recent addition of an in house movement option was a big jump.
Omega- Green dial speed master is nice, I want to like the ultra deep but will need to see it.
The AT range have lost some charm with new dials, they wear too big without the texture in the dial.
Tudor - Hope they do a Pelagos with the grey dial and bezel of the 925. Or a new ranger, will be interesting to see they have any more metas options in the line up.
Zenith - Always seem to have something I like.
GS- a decent sized diver would be great, with a decent bracelet.
Rolex - Coke GMT please on an oyster without polished links and a glidelock.

Titanium Yacht-Master?
I think the only watch I'd be interested in is a Black Bay 58 GMT
I’d buy a BB58 GMT in a heartbeat too
Would like to see Tudor do more non BB things, a ranger would be good. Would like an IWC pilot update with baton hands rather than the current style.

Bb58 GMT but also new colours in the bb58 range. I've always liked the burgundy bezel on the BB so be good to see that on the 58 too. Also, upgraded clasps as per the 58 bronze across the rest of the 58 range please.
Regarding Rolex, 38mm DJ and OP lines please (although the OP41 wears ok).
Hope Omega releases a watchco style SM300 reissue…. The 2500 planet ocean is the closest reincarnation of that currently.

Something coming from Omega later this month
I'm hoping for something big from IWC. It's about time they refresh the Aquatimer and/or improve the once-great Ingenieur.
It also looks like Bremont is trying to milk that Daytona cash-cow:

I've got everything crossed for a Ti no date YM.

I think the Rolex release may be one utilising the parts bin to bring out a variation or two.
Maybe PM Submariner on OF? Read on here, return of the hulk is possible. Cannot see it happening, but it could as all the parts are essentially there to do it easily. Maybe it will be PM only?
In addition to the usual new DJ and DD dial variations.
Airking and/or Milgauss refresh a high possibility. Cellini relaunch / rebrand?
Anything on a jubilee strap would be good. Maybe a Tudor on the new Rolex style jubilee with the half end links. Next level!
And importantly, hopefully back in the 38/39mm range.
Highly doubt this will happen anytime soon, but would really love for Rolex to make the Explorer II a 40mm case.
Looks like a longines spirit gmt is on the way judging by their Instagram.
The good thing with Swatch group is they’ve started to use proper GMT movements in all their watches across the brands (Longines, Certina) and not one of those absolutely rubbish ones that people call “office” GMT watches.
As I do every year, I wish IWC would release a 39-40mm pilot without a date. A 43mm Big Pilot resized to 40mm would be superb. I might buy it even if they named it the Scrawny Girly Pilot. As an alternative Hanhart could sell me a 39mm 3 hander based on the 39mm 417 chronograph.
Do we think that 40+ mm is here to stay for another year as the ‘norm’ for new models?
I find that watches are wearing too big and bulky these days and so I’m having to look at older pre owned models to find one that doesn’t look too OTT
With the Omega x Swatch teaser, I’m really hoping for a Pop Swatch Speedmaster 😂
Forlorn hope that Seiko drop the Prospex PS logo on the dial, and if they must use it, place it on the crown, though embossed not printed. Also wouldn’t be unhappy with a titanium Landmaster around 40mm. I expect to be disappointed.
As had been said a number of times already, a no date Mark XVI wwith original baton hands would be a winner.
And a 40mm Ingy in the Genta style.
I'd take a Spitfire version if the above as well, I love the applied arabics.
A PO based on the new super deep but at 39.5mm would also go down well.
Basically a continued trend towards smaller releases (or multi size options) across the board is something I'm hoping for.
We must be due a new Aquatimer? Something with a nod to the super compressor case would do nicely!
I feel like a full gold 36mm Explorer would be a thing of beauty. Not sure they'll ever do it, and if they do it probably becomes unobtainable anyway, but the 36mm gold and the 39mm steel sound like a pretty perfect duo.
