I noticed today T&T had to disable comments on their post about Swatch Group having their LBGTQ Watches seized in Malaysia.
Not sure what they expected really.
Stay in your own lane and just cover Watches. Forget about trying to be the Social Justice Police.
These youtube reviews are a dime a dozen. The title is a great prelude of the quality entertainment that awaits beyond the bait click.
if Australia already sold 38 then that’s a good sign. These aren’t your everyday Carreras. Spending close to 7k on a watch with limited wearability isn’t that straightforward. We might all love it but chronographs with light blue and orange dials aren’t exactly topping the sales charts.
The choice of the TAG Heuer badge is in line with their strategy and the Skipper was probably a good reference to try it. I would have liked a Skipper only dial though. More than enough Carreras in the line-up and in my collection for that matter.
The acid test will not be the sales of the Skipper but the sales of the glassboxes in general. I expect the 39mm won’t perform as expected but would like to be proven wrong. I really like the visual play of the new bezel and crystal but it seems a bit crowded and lost on the 39mm. It wears quite a bit smaller than the 60th and you feel the thickness more. The glassbox design really works on the 42mm however. The new 42mm in the old case looks terribly dated compared to the tourbillon. I hope they’ll launch a standard range of 42mm glassboxes next. These might sell very well. Nothing remotely similar out there.
I watch blogs praise the return of smaller watch sizes for men but in real iife... there seem to be a disconnect between the vocal few and the actual buying customers
could anyone (or any two people) have said less in 9 minutes and 30 seconds?
I love how they fall back on the tried and trusted 'Ho ho, all 80s and 90s TAGs were rubbish' cliched nonsense. Plenty of lovely 80s and 90s TAGs thanks, and it's not like other brands 80s and 90s watches were perfect either.
I do like watching their stuff, but a lot of it does seem to be clickbait of late.
Then there’s About Effing Time, who are still at Watches and Wioders!!!
I can't watch About Effing Time. They've tried to mimic the success of Clarkson, Hammond and May, and it could be great, but they need a script to be honest - it's too painful to listen to them all interrupting each other and getting sidetracked from points at the moment.

So my point really was that writing off 15 years of production is a bit ridiculous. Yes sure there are two tone watches up the wazoo, but it was the same if you look at other brands.
Nobody's giving Chopard a hard time.... can you believe this is supposedly the inspiration for the Alpine Eagle.

I checked, the new 39 glassbox is just a tad slimmer than the previous one.
It seemed slightly slimmer to me too when I compared them side by side. I was told the US Boutiques have now sold out their initial allocations.
