After seeing the newly launched this week Baltic and Timex divers I found myself a little disappointed for various reasons. Someone in one of those threads mentioned Montoir watches which I knew nothing about so I checked them out. Turns out they launched a new version of their diver on Sept 9th. They're starting off with 200 numbered pieces and more won't be available until sometime 2026 after which the price almost doubles. From an IG post it says for US customers they're shipped out of…

Timex Atelier Marine M1a 41mm Swiss Made Automatic Stainless Steel Bra

The Timex Atelier Marine M1a blends technical sophistication with a minimalist design language. Every surface, each profile, is shaped to balance proportion and wear easily. This is not a retro revival. It is a modern tool watch engineered for daily use.

The Aquascaphe MK2 looks pretty nice. In a nutshell, no more sandwich dial, new 3D markers, fully graduated bezel, slightly bigger fully lumed hands, two sizes 37mm or 39.5mm, in green, blue, gray, silver. Bracelet option available. Slight price increase over previous model as expected. Up for sale on the 25th.
Definitely looks more modern than the original. If you prefer the vintage look it seems the original will still be available.

I usually don't pay attention to the "reading" stats for individual threads but scrolling through WUS today I noticed this:

There are really 898 people are reading "Let's see your Oris today!!" ? I was surprised to see that. I know Oris is respected and all but I didn't realize they were THAT popular. It made me wonder what other threads have a high volume of readers. I took a look this morning and this is what I found:

Saw these on IG recently. A new P-40 model from Cincinnati Watch Co. This time it more closely resembles that of the clock in the plane itself and smaller than the previous P-40 at 38mm. Comes in 4 colors, has sapphire crystal, 10ATM, and a handwinding SW210. I really like the seconds hand. Can't decide which color I like best.
Supposed to be available this week. Nothing on the website as of this morning. I have to assume it'll be about the same as their existing field watch which has the...

Back in the early-mid 90's, some genius at Casio (or group of geniuses), thought of doing something different over in the Gshock division. Develop a line of all-metal Gshocks, what the hell, some in titanium even. Between 1996 and 2001 they output over 60 different MR-G's with a mix of digital, anadigi, and analog. A little more than half were titanium, the rest SS.
I wasn't in to G's back then, but I can imagine Gshock fans rejoicing (sort of like they do today with the chrome squares)...

Up for sale is the Scurfa Diver One D1-500 Yellow dial which has been modded slightly. Instead of the stock silver aluminum bezel it has a ceramic bezel with a lume pip. It's a great color match with the dial and really makes it unique amongst all the other yellow D1's out there. It's paired up with an official Isofrane yellow strap which matches the dial perfectly.

Comes with original strap, unused. The new bezel and strap alone cost about 150.
