Thought I recognised it when I watched the video. Didn’t you post that in IG roughly the same time.

I know TGV got banned from YouTube for using other people’s images and not giving credit.

surely I nice gift card to use in his store is apt?
It's actually an old pic that I posted in our Forum's James Bond thread about 2 years ago and also to Instagram around the same time.

Teddy has a new video out on the Aquaracer 200.

But hey, he used my picture of my Night Diver watch for part of his intro! 😲 Should I be flattered or be asking for a licensing fee? 🙄 😁

Definitely flattered, it’s a stunning piece

Incoming: New men’s AR (diameter = ?) with the wavy dial of the current women’s versions.

Apparently at least black & blue already out in the wild; but official communication only in June.

interesting surely the size has to be between the current ladies 36 & men’s 43. Or they just upgrading the movement?

I've seen them in person. I believe it's 42 or 41mm. They wore kind of chunky to me and I didn't care for the wavy dial (yes like the ladies 36mm).

But it has a new in-house movement TH-XX, I forgot. I was more interested in the KITH F1 so wasn't paying too much attention to them.

You cannot drop a bombshell like that 😲

Sorry, it was just a number. Like perhaps some variation of the TH-31, but I can't recall exactly. The salesperson didn't know much about the movement, just that it was new and it wasn't the Cal 5.

I believe they are 42mm, and @Mspeedster is correct (as always 😀) about the wavy dial.

interest piqued.

Still have to do a lot to sway me from either Omega Green Seamaster or Speedy.

Additional info read over at German Uhrforum is as follows:
Kein Inhouse-Werk, aber ein neues Kaliber mit mehr Gangreserve und scheinbar erstaunlich wenig Aufpreis zum bestehenden Kaliber

So, not a manufacture movement, but one with improved power reserve (and COSC grade according to above) and an "astonishingly measured" price hike compared to the Cal. 5 - whatever that means 😁

If I had to guess, I'd maybe put my money on a collaboration with Sellita's AMT arm 👎

COSC & longer power reserve at a minimum, is needed to keep up with competition.

Guessing price wise looking to compete with Tudor/ Omega/ Breitling so probably expect £3,000- £5,000 bracket.

Looking to compete but only now moving to COSC as those mentioned have all but moved to METAS.

Will be glad to see them ditch the Calibre 5 nonetheless.

They also need to get a bit more imaginative with their bracelets if they are truly looking to compete.
