      Beautiful watch

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        I adore the old style of both the logo and word mark, @Graeme. I actually happen to like the green Seamaster Diver 300m. And even the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch (especially Mission to Mars). I'm anxiously awaiting the drops from Watches & Wonders which, if recent releases are any indication, will be nutso.

          @henry_david I'm not sure that mere mortals are going to be able to buy any of the hot releases at Watches and Wonders next week…

          Omega have released a good batch of models, even if they're accused (unfairly) of copying Rolex.

          Then again, what are Rolex likely to unveil? The Milgauss is due for a replacement and a few new dial colours for the Datejust and Oyster Perpetual. The most interesting thing would be a production version of Ben Ainslie's titanium Yacht-Master.

            Oh I wasn't intimating that any would be available for purchase next week. I, too, am interested in what's ahead for Rolex even if the rest of the watch-loving Internet is as well. I'm kinda interested in seeing any new dial variants for the DJ (as boring as that may be) and also wouldn't mind a titanium YM to be brought into production.

              What is this Omega Swatch madness going on? I'm hearing crazy stories of this limited edition Omega x Swatch watches selling for as high as 3K $. Insane!

                And it's not an LE or anything, @the246guy. It'll be available online in a matter of weeks and is a regular production watch. I'll def be buying one once the hype's died down a bit.

                  The Omega x Swatch are being offered at crazy prices. I'm not sure they're being sold at crazy prices.

                      Yeah, strange games are being played on Chrono24. Just was exposed to that myself in the last few weeks as I was selling a hyped-up watch.

                        Interesting article on the current batch of Panerai movements…

                          Great read, @JDelage. Panerai is … so disappointing.

                              Panerai is a brand I’ve looked at a million times, always find something that I kind of liked, but could never pull the trigger on.  Always something seemed off and never could identify just one thing.

                              Started reading more and more about their shady practices the last 3-4 years and this seals the deal.

                              Completely off the list forever.

                              Thank you @JDelage

                                Ha! Yes, when a funactionally-finished movement is shown as something that upstages another…

                                    Watches and Wonders has just kicked off. So far we have.

                                    A titanium A. Lange & Sohn Odysseus. Yours for €55,000, which is twice the price of the steel edition.

                                    A smaller, Ceratanium IWC Top Gun chronograph.

                                    And also in green and white.

                                    A very cool Oris Propilot-X.

                                    And a bunch of Cartiers.

                                      Rolex, meanwhile, have gone mad and launched a left-handed GMT.

                                      And a new Air-King, which is surely the watch that nobody asked for or likes?

                                      (Well, apart from me. But I have dubious taste.)

                                          Grand Seiko have a number of new models, but ignore them and buy this Diver with the Black Stream dial.

                                          My favourite TAG Heuer is the Solargraph, which has a solar-powered quartz movement sourced from Citizen and a luminous carbon bezel.

                                          And Hublot have released a big, black square…
