Icon20 SIHH 2019 preview - Submersible chrono Guillaume Néry Edition

Focusing on the bezel insert, the brushed blue ceramic looks good, IMHO.

This is quite the chunky piece.... interesting to see this as one of the first models from the new CEO.

I like the looks of this one. The texture of the dial goes well with the blued hands and brushed ceramic bezel. Will be nice to see some live pics of this one.

it is a good looking watch but the dimensions are a deal breaker for me.

I like the looks of the blue bezel. Overall, this appears to be a very slight variation on the 615.

We’ve had aged lume, now aged dial texture (like those old Tudor Subs). Actually, it looks superb, perhaps a little large for some of us diminutive chaps!

Wait a few months longer and they’d come out with the aged dial + aged luminova special edition. After that the same combo but with cranberry bezel. After that the same set up but in bronze. After that replace bronze with titanium. You get my drift;) with Panerai, it is like that app that generates randomly selected pairs of numbers - keep feeding the machine, it may throw up something half decent occasionally...

Great looking watch but overpriced in my opinion. You have a lot of options in the 20k range and this would not be one.

Love the look. But it's over 20k. I would go with BMG version, which costs $13.3k.

A more detailed image of the dial, and a pic of the multi-color lume.

I wonder if each dial will be slightly different?

Looks amazing. Good job mister CEO. DNA is long in the tooth and only way to re-generate interests is going a bit farther outside the box. There’s room for both.

I'd wait for real photos to make a judgement...these look like CGI or at least heavily redacted and enhanced images.
