Nice but expensive.

I am a big fan of anOrdain anyway, but they've knocked it out the park with this new Model 3 release.
Case, dial, colours.... It ain't cheap but

Very pretty new 103 St Sa LE variant from Sinn - 'Commerzbank' themed, about which I DGAF, but yields an interesting and attractive colour variant, IMO:
Pretty sternly priced at €3,250.00 - Sinn certainly doesn't represent the VFM they once did! Does come with a steel bracelet as well, and just 100 examples (so not an Omega LE, then!), with first pick going to the bank's customers.
One small surprise (to me) is the use of a Concepto C99001 movement - assumed Sinn used Valjoux or Sellita for these.
Errr, sorry EoS but that’s a minger. Unless you’re looking for a Jamaica tribute watch, in which case it’s perfect.
I’d not heard of that movement manufacturer before. Presumably an ETA clone/drop in replacement; which makes its price even more outrageous.
Another day, another Seiko reissue:

Christopher Ward getting closer to something I might buy.
GMT
39mm
11.8mm thick
150m WR
I’m even starting to like the logo (applied on this model).

They’re definitely getting better. Unfortunately I don’t like the hands. They’re like the Citizen Excalibur, and I never liked that. Shame.
New Citizen Altichron is quite a departure visually from previous frantically busy / near-illegible offerings - more of a Ray Mears / Promaster Tough feel to this:
Main downside is... er... size - at 47mm diameter and 18mm thick, it's a beast.
I'm not a fan of DLC, either, and sadly titanium damages too easily - albeit the hardened stuff Citizen use is far better than most in that respect.
US$995 will be a not-unreasonable £795 in the UK.

I bought this on launch day. I absolutely love it. The dial is mesmerising and it goes from a kind of deep Kingfisher blue to a vibrant metallic green.
The quality was is so good and the new logo so subtle that I would buy another CW in a heartbeat

Cryptic new CW ad just dropped in my inbox. For a launch this week.
That’s definitely the bezel from the twelve, in bronze or I suppose possibly rose gold.

It always photographs with this kind of hue although I would say it was slightly greener in real life. I’ll see if I can capture some other changes.

I do like it when Zenith release a new watch that isn’t horrible.
That one is pretty smart.
Has anyone mentioned the new Citizen Promaster Tough. I think I like it but need to see it in the hand. I’m wondering if this is replacing the BN0118. Not a fan of textured dials but maybe it’s not so bad.

I see Fortis have re released the B42 Cosmonaut chronograph
This time with a nice blue dial option.
Not sure I would chip in my original but it’s nice

Pricey though £5k

Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
This looks a lot better to my eyes in the real world photos:

What is a "Novonaut"? I know what a cosmonaut is, and astronaut too, but this is a made up word. TBH I like the watch but Fortis have filled their webpage with so much nonsensical claptrap, that I find myself just irritated by it. As original B-42 Cosmonauts can be had for under the £2k mark, I think this is optimistically priced.
Japanese minimalism at its finest:
I don't actually like it, but it's strangely impressive. Would it be humanly possible to fit more information onto a watch dial? It's like they took the whole instrumentation of a Boeing 747 cockpit and crammed it into 48mm.
