    Agreed on all points. The bezel on the SMP leaves me cold but both of these feature lovely dials.

    Think it, be it.

        Had a big birthday last year so my beater is now a GMT. Current state of the small collection, but I am lusting big time after an Ultraman Speedmaster

              The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.

                  Tried on the Op41 celebration dial this morning. Again a "display only" piece.

                  I thought it was a fun watch. I did want the Turquoise blue dial OP but it got discontinued for this model. My wife has the smaller size Turquoise dial OP so thought it might be a nice complement.

                    I saw the Celebration dial in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.

                    Rolex Celebration Dial

                    I've got mixed feelings about them. I love the use of colour on the dial, and the fact that it's slightly crazy for any watch manufacturer, but especially for one as conservative as Rolex. The problem is that the polished hands pick up reflections, and the bubbles break up the face, and that makes it hard to read. I think that if they'd used black, like on the Omega Speedmaster with the white dial, it'd have been clearer.

                    The other thing I saw was a Rolex 1908, which is a pretty watch. I wish they made it in steel rather than white gold, to make it more durable, but I do like it.

                      After a month or two of thinking I went with a speedy sapphire sandwich. Probably will look at a diver next or possibly IWC big pilot. Going to enjoy this Omega every day😊

                          @kkibbey23 Beautiful watch. Did you consider the white Speedy as well before you pulled the trigger on this one?

                              Thanks! No I didn’t really consider it. I think it’s probably pretty sweet too, but no where I was had it that I could actually see it in person. Also I really wanted the OG black because I really like how it looks on nato etc.

                              I think they will sell a ton of the white dial to people who want a white daytona but don’t what 2x markup.

                                  It's Watches and Wonders this week, which is the biggest show in the horological calendar. Naturally, there are new pieces, and here are a few of them.

                                  Rolex haven't done much with their sports line this year, except to slap a black and grey bezel on the GMT.

                                  Rolex GMT

                                  Tudor have launched a Black Bay 58 GMT, which is a smaller and slimmer package than their existing GMT. It's also Master Chronometer certified, which I think is Rolex's way of saying, "Our cheap product meets Omega's fancy standard."

                                  Patek has launched a very pretty perpetual calendar with a salmon dial.

                                  Zenith has revived the Defy Diver with a very orange bezel.

                                  Grand Seiko has a new Birch Bark with an equally new 5 Hz hand wound movement.

                                  And, lastly, the LUC XPS Qualitie Fleurier is very, very pretty.

                                    Wanted to have my Seamaster AT on a NATO and I found this beautiful strap that suits my wrist. This is a sized a bit smaller than the standard NATO strap length and it a perfect fit for me. Pardon for the crappy images!

                                      Thanks @Graeme !

                                      For whatever reason I think the jubilee bracelet works better with the fluted bezel.

                                      Love the Chopard

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        @mclaincausey thanks. The Chopard is probably my favourite piece so far. There hasn't been anything else that's really jumped out at me this year.

                                        I'd agree with you on the Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezels, but the knurling on the GMT's bezel means it fits reasonably well. But if I was getting a Rolex, I'd probably copy @bluemantra and get an Air-King.
