          Because I have questionable tastes in watches. 😃

          Despite that, apparently the Casquette 2.0 has already sold out online. Looks like I was too slow.

          If your tastes are a bit more conservative, Monochrome have published their annual Rolex predictions about what models they would like to see released next month. Not that you'll be able to buy any of them. 😛

          I like their Milgauss and titanium Yacht-Master concepts. Ben Ainslie was spotted rocking a prototype of the latter, so it's not impossible that Rolex will produce it.

            Totally different pricing tier, but I do enjoy UR Werk when it comes to that sort of side-oriented design.

            Think it, be it.

              I love Urwerk, unfortunately I don't love their prices. Their entry-level piece is $49K, or was a couple of years ago.

                Enough to have bought it if available?

                  Possibly. I'm finding most watches now are a bit boring, being recreations or evolutions of the same basic styles from the fifties or sixties. The Casquette is a retro-futuristic throwback, and has a different design language.

                    I kinda like it, too. I wouldn't buy it as a regular use watch, but if I had a ton of watches already, (and the requisite funds) I'd buy it just to have an oddball one to wear when the mood hit.

                      I agree, it’s unique and kind of a conversation starter. It’s like…..a $3k GShock 😀 Most people and @Giles will hate it but it’s fun to try to convince them otherwise 😀

                              The high shine dials aimed at Rolex's OP line do nothing for me. Cool to see the Ultra Deep as a production model though.

                                I prefer the titanium version of the Ultra Deep, which has a slightly different case.

                                I agree that the Aqua Terra range appears to be going after Rolex, but the Ultra Deep is telling the Sea-Dweller Deep Sea to come and have a go if it thinks it's hard enough! 😃

                                There's also a new version of the Speedmaster '57 with the movement from the Chronoscope. I like the sandwich dial and burgundy variants.

                                  That burgundy dial Speedmaster has a nice 70s vibe to it.

                                    If green dials are a bit passé for you, might I suggest the Moritz Grossman Central Seconds in purple…

                                      Moritz Grossman is in a different league from Omega. They are really superb. Their recent world timer is also very cool:

                                            The SeaQ Panorama Date is beautiful, and GO's attention to detail is excellent (see the green colored date wheel here). This said, the new green 300M is more attractive to me, at less than 1/2 the price.
