      I think that the battered Rolex is cooler than a pristine one! 😉

              Rolex have just announced the shiny, new Submariner. No doubt it'll be available soon at your local grey market dealer at twice RRP. 😃

              The case size has been bumped up to 41 mm, which has got Hodinkee readers reaching for the pitchforks to storm Rolex's HQ; the lugs have been slimmed down; and the movement is upgraded to the 3230 / 3235.

              They Oyster Perpetual has also gained a couple of new 41 mm models, again with the new 3230 movement. I quite like the silver dial version.

                The most interesting models are the new Oyster Perpetual 36s with the bright coloured dials. The news sites have been too focused on the Submariner to pay any attention to these.

                  I have always dreamed of owning a blue bezel sub - or a Pepsi.

                  Knowing they bumped it to 41mm is actually a plus for me, as my Sinn 41mm 104 is practically perfect sizing for me.

                    blue bezels are white gold and will always cost more than the regular steel ones. they are definitely not as sought after as their steel counterparts but i do believe they have a lower production quota which makes up for the rarity of it..

                    i'll be interested to see if slight increase in the size makes it more desirable.. the only good news i can take from their announcement is the movement upgrade which gives a lot more in terms of power reserve..

                        @graeme I like the 36mm Perpetuals, esp the turquoise and yellow dials. My wife likes the pink. Might need to save up for a pair…

                        More info needed on that good look skelly!

                            @Anesthetist after seeing your Breitling, I thought that you'd moved away from smaller watches! 😉

                            I like the Oyster Perpetuals with the coloured dials too. The coral red is probably my favourite.

                              I sold my Sub some years ago, no regrets.  I passed by a PP Calatrava 3796 in white gold a few months back–-just too many rupees.  But finally scored something I have wanted since it first appeared: the manual Grand Seiko 231.

                                  That’s a very nice gift and a really interesting watch. How is the overall fit and finish?

                                    The new ALS 175th anniversary watches. A bit out of my price range but the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold is my favorite - a truly beautiful piece.

                                        Agreed!

                                        I also find it a bit odd that a German brand calls the split-second a rattrapante rather than a doppelchronograph.

                                            Seeing My Sinn 104 STa has been predominantly on my wrist for nearly 3 years now, I figured I’d give some updates on how the case, and even the leather band, have aged
                                            And held up (the answer in insanely well).



                                            The leather (especially where it flexes) has aged and softened a ton, and the case has stood up to nearly daily use very well. A little pitting (but not much) and still has a decent shine (not really any patina) even though I don’t think I’ve used a polishing cloth in nearly a year.

                                            Overall, the 41mm size is spot in for me - I wish the band was able to be a “little” more snug (yes I know I can punch a new hole if I want to) but I enjoy wearing this tremendously. If anyone has considered testing the market with one, I highly recommend it!
