Two-tone GMT is a winner for me. Still not as good as the two tone root beer but I’d definitely wear one.

This is the major improvement in my eyes, I always disliked those bellied markers.

I agree.
Still watch not at all to my taste, but those pill-shaped hour markers were really bad and this is an improvement.

Is Tudor making Timex homages now?

Introducing: Tudor Adds An Opaline Dial To The Black Bay GMT

We've got a 'polar' sport watch from Tudor – and it looks ice cold.

My dream watch (a steel 222 reissue) looks to be a no show this year, but something totally different that I completely wasn't expecting has completely blindsided me.

A brand new, smaller unisex Overseas... in 34.5mm. It looks like Vacheron actually did go out of their way to not overly feminize this one as well, given the lack of the tapered hour and minute hands on the previous 37mm 2300V and the center seconds instead of the weird asymmetric small seconds.

My only concern is that, and this is ironic coming from a smaller watch enthusiast, 34.5mm is quite literally smaller than my standard 36mm Datejust, and that watch has a much thinner bezel than the Overseas. I don't know if they downsized it too much and if the dial will have an underpowered wrist presence. I doubt it's something I'll be able to answer until I try one in person, but in any case this was an extremely pleasant surprise to me.

When did censorship encroach?

 

[Scuppers]

Many watches, few wonders.

Haven’t dove into the independents yet, but suspect you are quite correct.

Alright, shooting my shot for best in show - 36.5mm, steel, salmon.

 

[NonServiam]

Slimmer bezel. Slimmer outer chapter right around each subdial. Slimmer, longer hour markers. Steel outer chapter ring encasing the whole bezel. This is the way.

I agree, I like the changes! This made me laugh though.

 

[NonServiam]

Also, I guess my green Daytona is now discontinued?

 

[Neville Southall]

This is seriously great.

 

[Jmm722]

I like some of the new Tudor watches. I don’t recall them offering a jubilee bracelet before.

The dial color on this one is nice, but everything else is awful. Every Genta designed sports watch looks similar though.

A watch for clowns?
