So....Tudor mentions Breitling in their press release. And Breitling mentions Tudor in theirs. Is this...ACTUAL transparency in the watch industry? Hard to believe, but appears it is."

Looks awesome so Just enquired about that, didn't realise patek ruined it and did it at 42! So given it's a thin watch it will be huge with the band that's ridiged at the lugs.
At to the fact it will be 26-28k
Will pass.
Phew.... I though Omega only had 5 new variations of the Speedster in one way or another.
Good to see there is a few more - as there are not enough options...
38mm
There are others too.
Black Bay 36 grows into Black Bay 41. £2000. Looking good.

Like many, disappointed with the Chronograph Tudor (appearance wise) and Rolex 43mm SD. For Omega's 60th offerings, the Seamaster and Railmaster are of interest, especially due to the size but would need to see them in the flesh or at least more photos.
That's a hit, get quite a lot in there for the money and looks lovely
Had not seen this one. Very blue but really like it !Phew.... I though Omega only had 5 new variations of the Speedster in one way or another.

I agree with a lot of the comments below, SD is awful with the cyclops, would rather buy a SD4000, i think places like watch finder sell them at a discount to retail prices.
I like the sky dwellers, bringing it out in s/s makes them more viable rather than paying £25K+ for PM, when you could buy a lot nicer watches at that price range. I think if i buy a watch in the coming months it would be this, just need to see one of these versions in a store.
The best, for me, is the moon phase Cellini. But then I have a soft spot for the modern Cellini range. They don't list a price.......
I agree with yourself, the moonphase is a pretty version of the cellini. i belive they have listed a price, its £19,650
Black dial skydweller steel/white gold £10,200.....

Similar views here. I 'get' the heritage looks of the chronograph but just don't like it. The snowflake hour hand looks out of place given there are no other snowflake design details on the watch. For a chrono the snowflake just covers the subdials. You can see that on the PR images. Did no-one pick this up as a possible problem? The crown and screw-down pushers don't appear to match and the steel bezel is dated.
I was hoping for a big block re-issue as an affordable Daytona alternative... I will stick with my plan of picking up a blue Tudor Heritage Chrono when funds permit.
Ref the SD. Red text - yes. But why put a cyclops on a model that has never had a cyclops? And 43mm is almost at DSSD size. 42mm would have been my preference and halfway between the SD4kC and the DSSD. In fact, with the SubC at 40mm, the sensible thing would have been to have the SD4kC at 42mm.
Good spot... does this mean the end of the 36mm? That has always been the next on my hit list.
It's looks to be in the 16-17mm category, but I'm struggling to find specs.
I'm sure your wife would too... It's the ladies version. Although, they also do this one, which is actually very nice IMO
(Shamelessly stolen from WUS)
And there is the White dial model as well.....same £10,600 price.
All three are winners IMO
So did grand seiko get a new logo, as predicted?
Wait. B01 movement and half the price? Crumbs.
The 4R15 variant looks promising, although the hands are a little OTT.
Well, it's now squarely atop the dial, and in a slightly more spidery font, perhaps. Looks to be same type-face, just not so heavy / bold.
36mm and 41mm versions available on the Tudor website. Not much difference in price either. May have to try both on. Was originally thinking about the 36, but the 41 looks good.
Could I trouble you for a link? I haven't been able to find a picture.
I think the 41 will wear very large, unfortunately. Still, it's an option for those who thought the smaller model was too small.
Very disapointed with Rolex SD The new model with cyclops very ugly and thick and the Tudor Chrono and BB rather ugly .

one of my favourites so far is one of the cheapest watches shown, and not even mechanical!

Tempted to move on my D-Blue and get a white Skydweller. The 62 MAS looks nice too, bit rich for me as a tool watch.

The VERY interesting development here is they have slimmed the case down... at last a glimmer, just a glimmer of sense.
•• A REDESIGNED MIDDLE CASE
For its Heritage Black Bay 41 model, TUDOR has retained the overall shape of the watches in the Black Bay family, reworking them for a more formal look that is both elegant and sporty. In particular, the middle case has been redesigned and slimmed down to allow it to slip under a shirt cuff more easily. In the same spirit, the choice of a flat sapphire crystal—for the rest of the Black Bay family it is domed—flush with the fixed bezel in polished steel creates a minimalist effect.••
So it appears this year that Omega have become Tudor, Tudor have become Bell & Ross and Rolex have become Omega.
That's my worry too. Hopefully the slimmed down case will help though. Hopefully they make it to the dealers quicker than the BB36 did.
Its 38mm... so if you like the blue, very much a gents version!
now this one, might be more going towards one for the girls. ;-)
I tried a 36mm but it did feel too small, and it's quite deep. 41mm version could be perfect.
That's a good move, for sure. It's a great looking watch.
The thread is moving quickly Chris, so incase you missed this:

Could be spot on.
Slimming down the otherwise slab-sided black bay is a good move. Just the new one, or slimming down the range?

Standard nice delivery by Rolex. A bit of the new paying homage to the old.
Quick everyone call your AD and get on the list you have got to have them

Have to agree. Really disappointed with Tudor's offerings this year.
I was really hoping to see a Pelagos GMT.
Well they have only been able to do this as the new BB 41 still has the ETA movement rather than the in-house one. 41 is far too large for me without a bezel. 38 would have been max for me but only would have been interested with the in house movement, gilt dial and hands...
Non LE Railmasters. Quite a big gap between the end link and lug on the bracelet version... Dials look a bit crowded.

Well, that's for next years variations that they will need to drag out!! Without a bezel 39mm wears large. So 41mm could look like a plate. Look g forward to seeing it and deciding.

I think I will be getting a a Sky-Dweller in blue, just rung the AD to order one in. It looks great value IMHO.
Well... I just can't decide on what I think here. I half like it half hate it. But can't decide which!Non LE Railmasters. Quite a big gap between the end link and lug on the bracelet version... Dials look a bit crowded.

+1. Red text, 42mm, no cyclops would have been so much better.
Does anyone know the size of the new Railmaster?
Edit: just found it: 38mm.

I for one am happy that Rolex are finally making bigger watches as well. Any idea on the price for the new Sea Dweller? Might well be my first Rolex
