Took the plunge on the blue Glassbox. In love already.
Well done my good sir! Looks great in this photo, blue is an excellent choice.

Now for your next 'forum first' I have to say the 42mm tourbillion would be a splendid choice

I was tempted by this Aquaracer also. Felt good on the wrist.

Yes, I tried the blue and gold and was super impressed. Less impressed with the price tag of course...

Tried the pink on the other day, not sure it’s one you’d wear with a suit mind 😜

Looks cool. That’s exactly the type of thing I would wear with a suit. 😀

Well done on this. I tried one one a few weeks ago and I do like the design. The raised bezel works well and makes it quite unique in my opinion. Also prefer the blue over the black

Finally had a chance to see these in the metal. My feelings about them haven't changed. I think they're quite nice, but still have mixed feelings about the tachy bezel treatment.

Tried them both on yesterday, for me they’re the perfect size, but at the same time nothing excites me about them! If I had to choose I’d go blue, purely because the dates not at 12. The strap could do with some improving though, why not make it a navy rally?

The date seems to be very misaligned on many of the black dato ones, seen this on youtube as well

Michael's photo clearly shows how the blue is centred in the middle but the green is more all over 👍

Both excellent choices and I wouldn't blame anyone for buying either, but in my opinion the Speedmaster is just on another level altogether.

I think the Speedmaster is always a watch nerd favourite, because of its history and its unchanging design (I’ve had several, and currently have a vintage Ed White.) I do think it is very austere though. There’s never that moment where a sunburst dial or a polished edge catches your eye. I can imagine for most normal people there is a lot of appeal in the new Carrera. And a good chunk cheaper as well.
