    Best Rolex release this year, agreed.

    Anyone see clarification on the Daytona? Factory set diamonds on black oysterflex with burgundy subdials?

    Tudor did a solid yellow gold BB58 with green dial :laugh:

    I don’t even know what to think.

    The chonky sides/thickness of the old GMT & BB Pro were always the biggest turn off to me, these look incredible even if the color combo wouldn’t be my first choice.

    I didn't think "I think this watch looks good" was necessary but I can go add it if you'd like.

    That new Tudor is beautiful.

    Speaking of, I live in an area with no dealers at all, but we were in Orange County last week and went to South Coast Plaza mall where they've got boutiques for virtually every brand from AP to VC to A Langhe Sohne. It was awesome to see some of these in person finally.

    One of my favorite parts of being in Vegas is the opportunity to put so much on-wrist (and realize most of it looks ridiculous on me.)

    After having a day to think about it, the Rolex 1908 is cool, and the rest of the Rolex and Patek releases I've seen so far suck.

    Rookie question: do all watch makers release their new annual lineup at this time of year? Is that what’s happening.

    Reminds me of Sedna gold, kind of in between: little red for yellow gold, little yellow for red gold.

    Too fancy for her. She's more of a basic Daytona gal.

    my point was that they increased their prices and clearly have found demand softer at their latest pricing. i believe they're up 35% off of just ~7 years ago and you could ordinarily get them below retail price at ADs.

    Pretty confident I’m gonna grab the new GS SLGW003 “Birch Bark”, when it’s available later this year. Been bouncing between the WB Spring Drive (don’t like the bracelet, nor love the date window) & the 2 Omiwatari models (prefer white & leather strap vs. 9 link bracelet). Now I don’t have to compromise

    That's a gorgeous watch. The strap being that way makes my eye twitch though, lol.
