Oh wow, that's.... angry. You don't like Thierry, the man of the people?
Jokes aside, what did you expect? They already issued the Cubitus, they are spent. And in comparison to everyone else, there's more in PP's lineup than in anybody else's.

Me when talking about Patek
Maybe I'm jaded when talking about the Emperor of Watch Brands..... I have high expectations for them
I think they are on a slippery slope. Family businesses need fresh blood at some point. Especially when leadership loses contact with reality... Thierry is 4th generation. I'm not much into their recent developments but I'm not aware of any notable hirings in their design or sales/marketing departments. If the Cubitus is all Thierry can do in 20 years of development...Me when talking about Patek

My first thought is,why? Did the world need a green/blackdestroGMT?What’s everyone’s opinion on the new white-gold, green dial Sprite?
I wouldn't buy a green dial Sprite, but the Meteorite or Black Dial yes, purely because I don't have a Sprite in my collection of Rolex GMT's
I think it’s purely a market demand kind of thing. I feel like this year Rolex really pushed green-dial models probably due to that high demand reason. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Hulk coming back next.
But for real… €50k for that green Sprite GMT???

Rolex saw adding green with gold on the John Mayer shot up the price of that model by a significant margin so now they're trying it with all watches.

I am so chuffed about the new BB Pro Polar. Enough so I actually put my name down for one with the AD. I love the size and even though it is thick, it wears smaller. The new five part bracelet aka Jubilee is nice.
Summary
Patek-meh
IWC-Meh
Rolex -
green, red dials added, tiger eye is ok ish. Land dweller, the 1630 lives again with a new movement and premium price.
JLC-nice in general
Oris - Big crown looks nice and the colours are a nice add
Zenith - yet another pretty dress watch

I read all the thread, i would like to post this super hi end piece from Vacheron Cknstantin, which is said to be the most complicated watch in the world (VC words).

New Rolex OPs are pretty chill I think, wife seems to love them.
Would love to check out a pistachio or beige dial. Anyone know the sizes these OPs will be released in?

I think they come in all sizes
Also Rolex OP is now new reference 136x series. No longer 12x series. Lug shape refined slightly.
Old dials were sunburst silver and blue, i think now it's lacquered?
I'm liking this watch, never heard of this brand until someone else brought it up. Is there a reason this brand is not a larger player?

I'd love to see this repped. Not because I find it particularly cool or want one, but solely because it is insultingly expensive for an ETA 2824. Please please do this to bring these people back to reality.
Girard Perregaux is today mostly known for the Laureato. Except that model and a few others, they do high horology. The 3 arrow-shaped bridges are their signature. They have a share of less than 1% of the swiss watch revenues. They're part of the Sowind group together with Ulysse Nardin.I'm liking this watch, never heard of this brand until someone else brought it up. Is there a reason this brand is not a larger player?

Horology history and the oldest watch brands
Would be nice to have the key... even if it's closed now. LOL, I haven't seen Rolex "G" as he was known back then for a long while, he was also a Car collector who gave me a lot of work back then, for which I never charged. A very helpful contact back in the good old dayz. I think I'll take...

What a nice piece of history and write-up w/photos, that took time. Others should look at this article.
