A Commande Speciale, @Dino944 , is not something that i had considered, fairly sure the cost would be prohibitive even if Cartier were willing to add to an already limited run. That will not stop me asking my SA at the Melbourne boutique. The hunt has been long. Thanks.

What do y’all think of the Omega 50th anniv Silver Snoopy? Not the best time to impulse buy a watch, but it caught my eye

Update on Snoopy 50. I called the OB and they said I was closer to the front of the list (no idea how I'm near the front since I don't really spend a lot there) and I should expect something later this year or early next year. This depends on when shipments start which the boutique said at best later this year and who in front of me isn't ready.

It's definitely worth inquiring with your SA. My SA has offered in the past to ask Cartier about a custom piece or customized piece if an item just wasn't right for me. They do not always agree to do certain requests, and the cost can be high. However, the market in recent years has been quite strong on rare, low production Cartier pieces...so that may offer some consolation about the high price. Wishing you luck and keep us posted.

I'm guilty of owning a limited edition Speedy. I have a thing for blue dials!

Dude sent me the wrong watch by accident so I got to enjoy this IWC for a few days for free. ?

Wearing something as big as 47mm is silly. Specially with the Panerai design ..... it makes no sense. But isn’t hobby is about making no sense?

New sub that was released this year?

 

[smittycl]

NOMOS finally releases the Lamda in stainless steel. Originals were only available in gold. Love the blue face. Still, $7,500 is too much for a NOMOS I think.

I think that watch looks fine when all the hands are lined up for promotional photos. I think it would be a disaster to read in reality.

I really like the art deco feel.

I like the looks of that - are they easy to come by or did Rolex do their usual big release fanfare then trickle them out?
(Whats ‘coral sphere’?)

Unfortunately, the circus of speculation continues.
The coral dial is the new Rolex with colored dials.
