A manual winding?
I for one cannot wait to see the new 3-hander TAGs going for ~70% off retail on the grey market a few months after they're released.
I think they should introduce Heuer 02.1 and try to get it right. New, In-House movements are supposed to perform longer than a few months. I’m one and done with TAG Heuer and probably LVMH as well.
You might want to watch this video. New Calibres are notoriously glitchy it seems... just one reason why everyone used to buy tried and tested movements from ETA, until everyone decided everything must be in house. Panerai have just relaunched the Luminor wth an in house movement and it's £1000 more than the old one, but there's nothing to say it's going to be any more reliable than a new TAG or Tudor. If Rolex can't even get it right then what chance do we have?

True, and the Black Bay GMT is a great example of this - but Tudor / Rolex are not taking 5+ months to service them the way TAG is with the Heuer-02
