Domed anti-reflective crystal..... yes. If that's a glassbox?

It depends, my Omega has a domed crystal, but I wouldn't call it a glassbox.

Strange that there seems to be no focus on the 300 this year...

They put out so many in the last 2 years they may as well take a breather.

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

I’ve seen renders and I think it’ll be an excellent addition to the core range (ie, not LE)

Any new Monaco’s due this year then?

The aforementioned skeletons. Not in wild colors like the previous LEs or anything.

Would this qualify to be called glass box, it's one of my Zeniths (specs stat domed sapphire);

Maybe, kind of borderline. To me, a boxed crystal is significantly raised and somewhat squared off around the edge. My Navitimer 806 has a highly raised dome, but the height of the crystal is in the middle, not the edge, so don't consider it a glassbox either.

Not as crazy as the LEs that have already come, we'll see how well-liked they end up being though.

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

What is this 3 watch collection nonsense? Where's the Geckota?

And the Red Bull F1, and the Breitling. And the Casio.

Yeah that's probably not gonna work too well. Nor will the Carrera tourbillons entering the core range, either I bet.

No, but at least you can finally have a tourbillon that isn't 45mm

Seems you have a price threshold criteria for what's "officially" in your collection of 3; which means you can keep buying more watches as long as they don't cross that line. 😉

Any bromigo here planning to visit?

Dépends on whether I’ll be at home that weekend (which means that it’ll depend on the weather). That said, not really super keen on paying 70 CHF (per day) for tickets, only to be (most likely…) treated like a “va-nu-pieds”.

More intrigued by the free “W&W in the City” events for me and the kids. But it doesn’t seem that there’s a lot of info on these out there just yet…
