Really a huge turn off for me. I can't imagine what discussion was had by the product team that resulted in the release of these.

I really like the blue but not with a suit. It’s a pure holiday watch.

Would look cool on a white strap!

Sorry the bright colours really do nothing for me.

Mind you I used to own a cobra yellow Breitling Seawolf!

They look like Swatch watches, especially when presented together.
I thought this post was a wind up! This is the same company who brought us the 15202?

Maybe the Vikings will award the Purple one (diamond encrusted, of course) for their Super Bowl rings this year if they win.

$19,900 is listed, I thought the current black Diver was $19,000 but may be wrong!

So it will be the same or close to the current UK RRP of the standard Diver.

Gone off the blue after seeing these pics, but the purple is was and always will be the greatest watch ever made.

If they were priced like Subs (MSRP, not current market price!) I’d consider getting one for fun and (very) occasional wear....but at 20k I’ve got zero interest

I'm with you on this. In the pic Sam posted that green is (again) so awful too. I wouldn't wear it if I was given it. Truly.

I can’t really imagine selling the platinum 44 unless I was in the market for one of the Offshore tourbillons.

I like the blue Diver and the previous lime coloured one but not so keen on the other colours.

so you don't like the diver THAT much

I actually think the RO 44mm tourbillons beat out the ROO ones. They are awesome.

I agree. This is a Ibiza watch for partying in swim trunks. That’s it.

I think the beige would also look pretty cool with a navy blue rubber strap. That is also the only one that appeals to me. But I don't think i'd ever buy any of them.

At least on the positive side, some more strap colour options for the summer

Couldn't see myself wearing any of those colour dials though on a daily basis !
