Unfortunately Rolex have discontinued the Milgauss, a watch that is incredibly versatile and always admired.

This is a very special model in the catalog of Rolex and I think it should be mantained among the offerings of this brand.
I love the stunning green dial of the Santos Dumont so much. A great choice you make here. Are you thinking in going after it?
Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel

The new Santos with its bottle green dial is very appealing and I’m going to see the watch as soon as possible to make my decision. I also try to make my collection as diverse and interesting as possible. I personally was fairly disappointed by many of the watches shown at W&W this year.

Of course I understand that it´s very important to view a new watch in the metal before deciding to go after it or not. Looking its details and how it looks on our own wrist can make a big different experience to what we felt when discovering it through pictures. 

Also nice to have a relaxed event after a very busy week sharing our watches we expect to wear next two days and our thoughts around the novelties announced in W&W.

… which I missed to comment in my previous post. It’s the new Reverso Chronograph in steel. I really love this watch and this is a piece I would really love to add to my collection. Cheers! Abel

The front blue-grey dial looks superb, and the back is just so visually and mechanically sexy.
Sadly the size will be too big for my skinny wrist, but it looks like a future classic.

I would certainly like to see this one and try it on my wrist.

… you see and try it.
Guess it will take a lot of time to arrive to my land regret to say.
I like the looks so much!
Cheers
Abel

I absolutely love the 1016 Explorer and yours looks magnificent in the photos.
The the new Yatchmaster Titanium is very cool and one of the highlights from Rolex this year. As for the Tudor, I agree as it would look perfect with Mercedes hands.

People won't give a damn about the new one🍻🍻 the Pasha shot on the white cloth(?) is awesome too

… It is true that the vintage versions have a very special charm.
I also own a modern version which is a practical daily wearer and I like it so much.
But of course the vintage has a very special look.
Glad you also like the steel Pasha. Backround is a nicely textured piece of white rock found in the beach.
The light and the b&w shot make it look as a cloth indeed.
Thank you again for viewing and commenting!
Best, Abel

indeed, the green dial Santos is also the watch that caught my eye when my Cartier SA sent me over 50 photos of Cartier's novelties! for this weekend, I'll be wearing my Parmigiani Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante. i love the simplicity of this watch which hides a very useful complication that appears only when needed.









among the novelties from this year's Watches & Wonders, the watch that i like and will try to put in a pre-order will be the Parmigiani Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante. i can already think of a scenario where the complication will come in useful and that is when a colleague asks me for 5 min of my time for a discussion 😂 photo is from Parmigiani's website

Your Parmigiani Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante looks very good in your photos. I find the dial and hands especially alluring.
I completely understand why you would order the Parmigiani Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante.

Hello Captain!
We’re set for a relaxing but blowy start to the weekend.

As usual my Tudor is keeping me company throughout.

I was hoping for some new Bronze watches from Tudor this year, alas not to be.


Something rubber clad got my attention though!!
I’m smitten with the Black Bay 54 especially on the superb rubber strap. Cannot wait to try this one.

All the best for the weekend.
Regards Kurt. 🍻

At Abel’s request 😉my static shot also taken earlier today.

I’d also like to add this new launch from Zenith.
This new Pilot is so crisp and clean!

🍻

I felt yours is a superb static shot which deserved to be shared here.
Interesting this new launch from Zenith you are sharing here too. I haven’t seen it most probably received among the cataract of information around W&W received during this week.
Looks very nice indeed.
Hagwe! Abel

Great static shot of your Tudor Kurt 👍

I love the power of the sea in your photos.
Something bronze would have been good from Tudor but it wasn’t to be.
Do you think you will go for one of the new Tudor BB54’s ?

The other half approves of the BB54 which is handy. 😉
Trouble is, I’ve got my eye on a GS too!

😀

Wearing my Zeitwerk Striking Time right now.

Watches and Wonders has been a bit if a mixed bag for me. I loved the updated IWC Ingenieur - my local AD is in Geneva and has the black dial on its way for me. This completes the trifecta of homages to the GG SS sports watches from the 70’s as I have a blue dial 15202 and a white dial 5711. This is the first Ingenieur that I’ve liked since the original.

I think that Cartier stole the show - they are really on fire right now. Their Prive models were really beautiful. I have a RG Santos Dumont XL already inbound. I did like the green dial VC Patrimony Tourbillon - platinum. Rolex underwhelmed - with minor tweaks - although I do like their use of titanium for some of their watches which is a smart move. A lot of the other manufactures were releasing “me too” models which didn’t really bring anything to the table with some really “messy” dials.

Powerful, striking in its design and beautifully photographed on your wrist.
I completely agree with you, the Cartier Prive models were really beautiful this year and Rolex used titanium very successfully.
Best regards
Captain
