The article I read said the blue one was new, alongside a rose gold version. No photos of the gold, but a quick Google revealed the one I posted, so I trusted that as being correct as not on the Tissot website.
The one you posted is from the Tissot Le Locle collection, completely different from the PR516 line up.

This is the new rose gold two-tone, but it's quartz rather than an automatic like the white and blue.

Apparently this is what everyone has been waiting for
For that money I’d go for the Overseas, Lange1 or even GP Laureato

But that’s 1 out 1 so far for Adrian’s predictions

Rumoured Tifanny panda chrono doing the rounds on various Tudor groups. Possibly this year's limited release drop similar to the pink dial from last year

Loving the new (release) from Oris. Always been a fan & now no date. Will need to see this at an AD.
For whatever reason the Divers 65 reissue lineup has always left me cold. And now, again for some reason I can't figure out, I really like the way this one looks.
I also think using the Sellita to keep the price reasonable was the right call - and may be a tacit understanding on their part that the pricing of the Cal 400 one doesn't work.

Shame as the Cal 400 is impressive, but feel the jump to nearly Tudor prices hasn’t worked for them, notwithstanding the issues with the Cal 400.

On wrist the I wasn’t impressed with the bezel action of the older one, but I’ve also felt let down with the Seamaster & Aquaracer bezel action. Feel I’m spoiled by the BB58 & Rolex.

Hoping to pick 1 or 2 watches up this year.

Top of the list currently are:

Omega Seamaster no date version
Omega Speedy 3861
Rolex 14060m Sub

However I have a price in mind and don’t want to go too far from that.

Next down the list:

Tag Aquaracer 300 in green
Omega SeaWeedMaster

Will probably pick up a WAN2110 Aquaracer also.

Going to hold off until W&W25 to see if anything released then that takes my interest.

I keep going back to the Zenith Defy special edition they did with the collective. Love the clean look and the easy swap straps - comes with steel and orange which easily swaps within 20 seconds.

Anyone owned a Defy to talk me in or out of it? Originally looked at the El Primero but the versatile straps and the fact I have Tag chrono means I’m looking for something different.

My only real issue with the Defy Skyline is how large they are. There's a reason the classic Royal Oak is 38-39mm, on the integrated bracelet it wears quite large. The Defy Skyline at 41mm just feels huge, and coupled with the fact that it's not particularly slim like a RO / Nautilus / Overseas it's a little bit of a monster. I'd go check out a regular 3-hand Skyline at an AD if possible to figure out whether the wearing experience is something you're into.
If you have already though and like it, I say go for it - Gabe and Asher are awesome dudes and I'm all for supporting Collective.

Yeah they are hefty. I have a 42 seafarer so I’m used to a chunky watch, I like the rubber strap too.

Going in to try it on this weekend, let’s see if it’s as nice when I try it on

Oh and it's called Peacock Blue.
Peacocks are a much richer, darker shade of blue. Here's a photo I took during a holiday to Inverness...

Yes, it's odd isn't it. Doesn't look anything like a Peacock. No doubt there's some obscure peacock that his a lighter blue on the tips of it's feathers or something... and let's face it, they can't call it 'Powder Blue' because where's the story in that?

They actually call it flamingo blue which is even more strange

Oh yeah. Where did I get peacock from... 😆
Guess my stupid brain must have substituted a bird that actually is blue...
