Here is a peak at my thoughts for brands for SIHH/BW 2020:

[Since I just posted this in another thread, thought I'd share it for all who may not see it in the other place! Enjoy, let the fun begin.]
JLC: medium expectations, highly unlikely to be met barring some shocking shake-up and "belle" horologie" focus. have abandoned the stable for those like... me.
Tudor: still high expectations after impressive BW2018, especially with disappointing BW2019. moderate chance high expectation will be met.
Rolex: low expectation given molasses- like changes and absence of product unless you are a celebrity, "special" customer or brand ambassador. Highest odds of fulfilling terrible expectations!! Design language is staid and boring. Only hope is to reverse path of maxi-case, maxi-hand/indices, and actually make product available to the walk-in customer. Else have no interest.
Omega: low expectations but given business plan of dumping many many models out at a time, always may be surprised. Hope for a 1948 like rendition to be spit out with manual wind movement and thinner case.
PP: out of my price range. find it odd that last year's 5212A, the steel weekly calendar meant to be an accessible piece to the new, young customer, cannot be had by anyone without a special PP connection, anathema to the new young customer looking for a nice steel patek that is a bit hipper and cooler.
AP: ha ha
VC: make the overseas dual time titanium/tantalum a production model. otherwise, don't care!
