Indeed @imagwai did. I’d purchase this instantly.
Agreed guys, I would need to sell something to buy this if it would be released. It is some what of a mystery to me why Kid Freddy is so scared of bright fun colours in the Aquaracer line up.

Would you prefer that over your silver Aquaracer? Or would you keep both and sell something else?

People might want to hang me in public for saying this but I think the fiddy eight would be the one to let go off then

Green Aquaracer is due in April so could be released there. But there's two new F1s to come before that... and the 39mm Carreras.


Quartz Gulf and Indy 500 models... .oh and skeleton Monacos are due in March too.

Cheers Rob

So... without leaking any exact reference numbers... Can you tell us what you wish for 😉
This thread would be a lot more fun in a PM group so you two could tell us what "leaked" info you've heard of so far. 🙄

The PMs will start flying soon I'm sure, but I'm most looking forward to the new 39mm glassbox. I haven't seen all details yet but I think it will revitalize the Carrera lineup much more than the 42mm did.

I would also love a Tiffany blue Aquaracer, but unless it's a LE surprise I don't think that there are any more 43mm Aquaracers coming this year. The focus is a few more variants of the 40mm including quartz.

I bet you're right, only chance is as a LE. I worry then it would be a Caribbean Ibiza Maldives Exotic Cruise Club Yacht Limited Edition, 50 pieces sold only in a small shop in Key West....

For sure. With a palm tree on the dial maybe

Think I've seen a render, and not impressed. Unfortunately much like the 200m Aquaracer not a scaled down version of it's big brother

Don't worry guys, its not as if TAG would ever release this pastel blue summer Aquaracer dream. But as you know I decided last year to live by a three piece watch collection policy so if adding a new Aquaracer, something else got to go. Ice King would never go, for obvious reasons, and the Ice Diver is exciting me on a level I currently feel aroused 24/7. As much as I love the fiddy eight but I am not sure it can compete with the other two. At the moment though, I feel I have the most perfect three piece watch collection in the world, super happy!

Edit: here is a photo of my beloved trio

IIRC, didn't you pic the 58 after carefully comparing it to the Aquaracer? I guess in hindsight you should've gotten the silver Aquaracer instead, no?

That's all I'm looking forward to, and of course any other Monaco.

Well partially correct, back in 2021 I was planning to get the WBD2112 but it did not give me that warm juicy feeling inside. It felt cheap. The WBP Aquaracer on the other hand is better in every aspect, better finish, superb feeling, awesome bezel turn that gives me the goosebumps, lovely clasp, nicer bracelet, premium looking caseback. WBP is a watch that reflects the price tag, you can see and feel it. It is what the Aquaracer should have always been. But in 2021, I had not yet warmed up to the new design...

Don't get me wrong tho, Im not saying I dislike the fiddy eight. I still love it! My point was just that if something new lovely comes along and one has to go, at the moment, it would have to be 58 I say farewell to.

Am I reading this correctly? Glassbox?
