Nothing exciting for me, although it is nice to see them continue to push the upper end of horology....it legitimizes the lower end.
I'm glad there is nothing new I wish to chase. With the secondhand market prices so low, there are too many good deals to be had on previous models. I don't really have any concern about the new stuff.

I don't find anything really compelling. The L'Astronomo is cool, but I am sure it will be ridiculously hard to get and extremely expensive. The base models are cool, but I am not sure how they are all together different from what we already have other than less desirable construction at a lower price point.

I would be more interested in vintage inspired pieces like the 448 and 449 to name a few.

Thanks, Nick.

The DLC 44mm Cali Luminor looks interesting... not for the purists, but seems nice. The logo Rad, too. Wonder what are the details?

As for the two "Ming-style dial" 1940 Rads, I'm not convinced, but it's good to see an effort to try something new.

Oh, and just saw the PR indicator for the 8-day model...nice!

No worries Cru! I’m trying to find out more.

The DLC Cali has peaked my interest.

I think it might actually be a Bettarini case Luminor, judging by the shape and the 8-day movement?
