As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
I know it’s supposed to be a reissue of an old watch, but the hands look about 2/3 as long as they should be. They are approaching Raketa Big Zero stubby.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Its L2L is actually shorter than Stowa's 6498 flieger with a 41mm case (@50.2mm).
This is a beauty.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Just got an email from EMG. They're releasing another version of the DL63 with a blue dial and updated design.
They're also releasing a new watch Odyssey dual crown GMT. I like the design although the lugs look a little long. The Odyssey features an inner rotating 24hr bezel with date indicator at the 6 o'clock position and is powered by the Sellita SW-330 automatic gmt movement.
Specifications
40.5 mm diameter
48mm length
13.2mm thickness
20mm lug width
Domed sapphire crystal
Twin screw down crowns
200m WR
solid link bracelet
BGW9 luminova

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Same here. Gonna keep my eye on them.
Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Without a good profile pic, it appears to me that the GMTs lugs are sloped downward, as with the very-wearable H2O/Helberg divers, for example.Stretch44 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 10:07 am

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
'Some new and upcoming Seiko models:
Presage "Sharp Edge" SPB203J1 / SARX083; surprisingly there wasn't a black dial model with the initial release.
SPB205J1 / SARX085: limited to 4000 pieces
Prospex "Street Tuna" SRPF83
SRPF81
There are also two 40mm Solar versions of the watches above, SUT405 and SUT403.
SBDY089
Prospex Tuna S23633J1
Prospex Mini-Turtle SBDY085
SBDY087
SBDY083
Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB197; Seiko didn't do themselves any favors here with their die-hard fanbase. This is basically a non-limited version (on a bracelet) of the previously released European limited edition SPB199 that came on a strap. However Seiko Europe is reportedly now offering refunds to SPB199 purchasers to make up for the faux pas.
SPB201 Limited edition grey dial with brown strap
SPB209 / SBDC135
SPB210 / SBDC136
SPB211 / SBDC137
Seiko "Laurel" Alpinist SBDC145
SBDC147
SBDC149

Re: 2021 New and Upcoming Releases!
Bernhardt has introduced a new series of their Captain's Watch.
Gotta say, I'm loving the specs and price point. The no date in rose gold actually might be my favorite of the bunch.
https://www.bernhardtwatch.com/collecti ... ains-watch
The three new colorways Black/Silver, Champagne/Silver, and Rose Gold/Chocolate along with the previous incarnation:
Price is $319
And it doesn't appear their current 15% code of CUPID will work on these new models. At least it didn't when I tried on a couple.
Shared specs:
- 38mm
- Miyota 9015 automatic movement
- Sapphire crystal
- Signed screw-down crown
- Numbered exhibition case-back with ship wheel design
- 50 meters water resistance
- 2 year warranty
Black/Champagne dial additional specs:
- Black Dial with White Numerals and Silver Rimmed Super Luminova Hands
- Champagne Dial with Black Numerals and Black Rimmed Super Luminova Hands
- Inset Date window at 3 o'clock position
- Stainless steel case
- Jubilee-style bracelet with pins and signed clasp
Rose Gold/Chocolate dial additional specs:
- Two-Tone Rose Gold/Chocolate Dial with Rose Gold Numerals and Rimmed Super Luminova Hands
- Stainless steel case with Rose Gold Bezel
- Two-Tone Jubilee-style bracelet with pins and signed clasp
