@Deuce & @JDelage – Great looking watches and epic IH gear, too 

You guys inspired me to take a snap. 1972 ref. 1601 with my IH-9526J and my IH-634-XHS in the background.

Very nice.
This Spring Drive movement is state of the art. Unique in the world.

Yours is the titanium model, right @Alex?  I've got the steel version (SGBA229), wish I would've sprung for the 231 version as mine is quite hefty.

Watches and Wonders is coming up next week, so manufacturers are starting to announce next products.

Hodinkee has an introduction for the new 40mm Cartier Ballon Bleu, which has their in-house movement and quick change straps. The Santos and Pasha are anti-magnetic, no news on whether this is too.

Glashütte Original have a version of their smaller 39.5 mm SeaQ diver's watch with a green dial. I prefer the panorama date model, so hopefully they'll bring it to that one.

Rado are offering their Captain Cook diver's watch in ceramic. I particularly like the translucent dial.

Bell and Ross have a new GMT with a black and red bezel. Whilst it would be easy to accuse them of copying Rolex, at least you'll be able to buy one of these at retail.

LOL – so true dude. I love Rolex and am, at the same time, super bummed about the state of things.

Either way, stoked to see the new releases set to be unveiled.

I like that Rado a lot.

Just read the write up of it on Hodinkee- there's a whole lot of uniqueness going on there  Ceramic case and ceramic bracelet, dial and case back are both black tinted sapphire. I'd love to check this thing out in the real world.
