This one confuses me. It's been said on other threads that the carrera identity is spread too thin over too many models and this exemplifies it.

I know what you mean. The faux-patina lume looks out of place as do some fo the red accents.

I like the new 02T, not that I will be able to afford it!

I think the Zenith defy classic looks really really nice

These look like a cross between a Lehmann and an AP RO with the bezel of the new Link. Really nothing original there, IMO.

What you guys think of Rolex's releases ?
Liking the new black and white Oyster Perpetuals. Some excellent choices now at 36mm and 39mm. I also like the GMT but not enough to choose it over a used model. Most interesting Basel release for me so far is the 39mm Tudor BB 58.

Looks like legibility has won out over pure aesthetics here. It doesn't look so bad on these pics, but the video... the sub dials look huge! I prefer the black over the blue though.

Usually people complain about the opposite

One thing I like about them is the big sub dials 👍

I'm quite surprised that the bezel on the 'batman' Carrera is ceramic...

I know, but we all wanted the Aquaracer to be ceramic and it was aluminium...
