New series 2 at studio underdog. Field watch in some odd colour ways and the dial screws look wrong, but there's also some to like.

I see that Bremont have now released a set of variations for the S302, which up to now has been on its own.
The 3 new variations are
Blue Green
Vintage Black
And Jet (as they call it)
(all pics from Bremont site)
That last one is very nice indeed. I just hope the bezel is 120 click.
3.7k? I'd better see what I can find on the used market....
Novelty moon watch on Kickstarter:

"At INTERSTELLAR, we don't just create watches; we craft horological masterpieces inspired by the wonders of the universe."
Horological masterpiece = your choice of Miyota or Sellita movements.
On the plus side, not expensive.
I think there's been black, white, blue, green and sand coloured ceramic models in various sizes. There's also a ceratanium version which is a very dark, charcoal grey.
Anyone going in for the yellow Ed Sheeran G-Shock at 4pm?
I like the look of these, especially on a rubber or leather bracelet.

For some reason I’m drawn to the Studio Underdog - 800 seems steep for a microbrand though? It’s not the kind of watch I normally go for, it’s a mystery!
If you have a spare 20k burning a hole in your pocket, VC have added this ‘Les Collectioneurs’ revival. It certainly isn’t shy about the logo - something only VC could make look elegant, imagine that with a Rolex logo!

As a dress watch that I would never wear, (because nice places would not let me in) I think its lovely and I am not a dress watch fan.
Of the holy trilogy VC are they only brand I would consider owning based purely on their designs. Thankfully I cant afford them do Casio make a dress watch?
Other brands would (and have) make a similar effort look rather tacky IMO.
Im liking the Jet too. Its a bit odd that the GMT bezel is unidirectional.

Another colourful 103 LE from Sinn. Nice to see them use a rare ceramic bezel insert too.
Only 300 being made for 'Armbanduhren' magazine, and steeply-priced at 3,590, which is simply greedy for something with a mundane Sellita movement.
I like it, but I can see it being an opinion divider lookswise.
New centre-minutes chronograph from Damasko, DC96, reprising the dressier look of their erstwhile DK100-series:
Also coming with black or silver dials.
No idea as to price, but I'd expect around the 3,000 mark, as seems inevitable nowadays.
First impression is I like it a lot - the more recent typeface is a good development, and it has all the functionality I like, plus I've been fancying a blue-dialled chrono for a while now.
Not going to rush-in this time: I didn't bond with the DC76, so ideally need to see this in the metal first, also the need to decide what to sell to fund it...
Good Grief! Feels like something inside is stirring.
That is lovely Earl, I would like a blue Chrono but it needs to come on a bracelet. The centre seconds is a desirable but uncommon feature. Let's hope 3k is not too far off.
Damn, love this dial! Case shape is a ringer for a vintage IWC Yacht Club, and probably a few other watches too. 39mm and far from expensive, with a diving model too, but this one is the real looker. Fun in the dark too with lume on all the dots.

First it needs someone to blink and buy one - back when their chronos were under 2K there was a fighting chance - now, not so much.
If it had come in ~3-3.5K I'd probably have moved my rarely worn PO on, but at 4.5K even a fanbhoi like me can't see how to justify the price. Even used, sellers will want close to 4K, and I still couldn't justify it.
Oh well, not like I'm short of bluddy watches anyway!!!
Silver dial DC96 - purty, but a challenge for my knackered old eyes...
Blue version for me Earl, same problem with the eyes here ;)
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
If it helps:
Its a dress chronograph dial with a bloody irksome, ugly date window. No thought has been given to the copy and paste case which has been taken from their other models with massive crownguards, betraying the dressy aspirations of the dial. I bet its about 16mm thick too, making it unsuitable for a shirt and top heavy on a leather strap. The talk of bracelets is nonsense as the bead blasted ultra engineered bracelet would clash with the brush and polish of this one.
Oh, and to keep true to form: its too bloody expensive, that!
