It’s been a surprisingly cheap day for me. Nothing released that I am desperately seeking to purchase.

I hear ya, nothing worthy of taking place in my three piece watch collection

I have an empty third slot, just waiting. Later in the year is better for me anyway.

The ice king silver dial stands out like a shining star of brilliance on that 60th overview mega shot

This was only day 1

Swatch Group have yet to present, IWC only launched the Ingenieur but there are already photos of Pilot watches flying around (such as a blue ceramic 41mm chrono)

Prob a few more surprises before the week is through

Omega did a very similar poster for the 60th Anniversary of the Speedmaster in 2017.

Cool. Be nice to see something interesting.

I did click a pair of black Zenith Defy’s in Ceramic. Very cool, although it would be Steel fit me with that lovely bracelet.

VERRRRRY SIMILAR, indeed.

Yes, I had the same thought. I suppose Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery.

That T&T video really sells the watch. I might actually like the blue more than the dark panda.
Inspired by this one?

This IG video post by T&T really sells the reverse panda to me: https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTRn3QL0SX/
I think it looks great.
But just can't justify the purchase since I'm content with my heritage glassbox Dato.
The blue looks really good too. But there's something else rumored to be coming in blue...

Not really - the dial appears readily visible unless you view it at an extreme angle, which is the only situation in which the curve appears. The outer tachy track however does have a sort of that 'Connected' look to it - but IMO it works rather well, considering it's extraneous to the dial entirely.

It's not a visibility concern, I just get this Connected "vibe" sometimes depending on the look and lighting of the crystal.
Here's an example.

Not saying this is a negative thing, just trying to soak up all the details of this new watch, as it's quite a departure from what I'm used to.

So Charlie was wrong, the Grand Carrera IS a Carrera (arrowed), also good to see the legendary CAR2A1Z (circled) included here.

This design will definitely require getting used to. I'll reserve final judgement until I get mine.

Is this a wall clock or the blue?


Initially I thought it was a wall clock, but I think it just the blue model.
