Dunno, but I've tried 3 UK boutiques, including Tag Heuer's London flagship and none of them know anything as yet.

Perhaps the UK Boutiques are much stricter and better at keeping things under wraps. Have they ever told you about a watch prior to its official release?

Yes. They told me there was an Aquaracer under embargo for next week. Plus the people I've been speaking to have been pretty open and candid. They know something is coming, but not all the details I've been privy to.

I haven't noticed those odd black hour markers before. Did they do this on the new one too?
This is the second execution dial with shorter markers with a black insert and only lume dots at 3 and 9. The Carreras with contrasting subdials arrived with the second execution.
Yes, my understanding is that the 60th will be very faithful, finally! The 2nd execution hour markers are included and also the black line on the hands (as seen in this pic).

Congratulations to everyone who will be able to get hold of one. From what I hear TH have gone out of their way with this one with a few details that will be a first for the glassbox. Really excited about the release. I have however decided not to pursue one. I hope my chronomatic panda will provide decent comfort when I see all those great shots of you guys showing off your pandas 🙄
I have bought plenty of watches recently and have another (TAG) Heuer coming in in a couple of weeks so plenty to look forward to.
Your 1153 Panda is awesome! I'm envious every time you post a pic. As you know, I've been strongly considering getting one myself. But I've decided to get the 60th at this time, as the opportunity is just too good to miss. I've justified the price in my head. I was so very tempted to buy the Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 and that watch was $7750. So $7400 isn't that bad in comparison.

IDK. Maybe the UK will start pre-orders later. In any case, I wouldn't worry, you're probably first in line!

Yep, hope so - I've been bugging one guy so much he won't fail to remember me 😀

And in case they don't get it, I'll try and get one off the website.

Most likely a two-tone 40mm.

I think they said something about a Solargraph but to be honest I wasn't listening very closely to that bit. 😀

Do you want me to reach out to my contacts in UK boutiques. I haven't reached out since I'm not interested, but I can definitely check and pass your details in case I hear something. But I only want to contact them if you're a 100% sure of buying one. I usually only contact these guys when I'm buying something - relationship works well that way for me.

Thanks for the offer. I'm reasonably confident I'll be able to get one and don't want to burn bridges with the contacts I already have, so if it's alright with you, I'll only take you up on your kind offer if I am struggling. Many thanks!

P.S. I am definitely getting one

Blue dial on a blue rubber strap?

Also, where is that carbon Monza?

That Carbon Monza is a beast.
Saw it last week and have been thinking about it since.

Not sure about the straps, but it does appear that both the blue and grey dials will get TT options.

Any pics/render of the Monza - sounds amazing. I just bought a Monza CR2080 and fallen in love with the cushion case

There's a pic in the post I shared. Although, it's not very clear and not 100% sure if it is the yet to be released Carbon Monza.

Thar looks amazing, surely not cheap!!! I'm now torn on whether to get into the Monza or the supposed skeleton Monaco for later in the year.
