thanks! Any more info - or a link if you have it handy?

Agreed on the super blue. It’s great! But I tend to gravitate towards black and white exclusively, to my detriment. However, the Hamilton Intra-matic in champagne is starting to persuade me...

Anyways, a 50/50 chance I’ll grab the GMT soon. Unless something teal or pistachio tempts me first 😉 I’ll post pics if it happens!
No more info than this at the moment:

The upside of babying watches is that my 6 year old Aquagraph still looks like I just bought it...

Wow that looks very promising. Don’t know about the 1521. The crown at 4 and bezel design yes. But the bezel insert looks narrow, maybe a marriage betweem the 1521 and Sub-39!

Don’t think it’s the 1521. This detail of the sunken crown is missing:

Maybe a larger Squalematic then?

Edit: still think it's a 1521. It has the mirror finish chapter ring. Crown looks similar to mine. Not sure which detail you think is missing?

On the 1521 there's a chip in the case below the crown. The lower part of the crown completely sinks into the case/lug. On the teaser this isn't the case. Just a smooth transition from case to lug with a crown at 4. I don't see a chapter ring detail in this teaser, do you have another? The bezel is similar to the 1521 but they could have easily designed a similar one for the sub-39 no?

Definitely not a 39. Maybe something new then, but I think a Matic or 1521 most likely. The angular case side is present.

A steel version of the T183 case. That one's consistent with the angular case side and crown.

You could be right, hadn't thought of that one.

My wife would sus that out since I normally go for black coffee, heard of folk mixing Baileys and Brandy! Tried that?
I was on holiday in Lanzarote and a bloke I was talking to suggested Baileys over Sherry which he called Gorilla Snot.
So me and him ended up on that till his wife took him home.

Ha, worst hangover I ever had was on holiday in Lanzarote after downing too many shots of some sort of Baileys concoction.

Many years ago I was chatting up a girl at a St Patricks Day thing, and bought her a drink and said I'd have whatever she does. She ordered Baileys on the rocks, not mixed into anything... woof. Tasted like diabetes. Love it in coffee but man is it just gross on its own!

Their new Espresso flavor though, that's quite nice on its own or probably over vanilla ice cream.

The Espresso version sounds good
I've bought the cheap stuff from Aldi and strengthed it with brandy, that works a treat.

This made me laugh, Adam trying to be all smooth and then having to drink neat Baileys and trying not to puke.

Smooth has never been a word someone would use to describe me, lol. And the Baileys was on the rocks, not neat, so it got diluted after a bit and I was able to choke it down without much trouble. But, yeah... not a great time, that
