The Vacheron Constantin historqiues 222, in my opinion is the best release at watches & wonders by a country mile. It will be hard to obtain because although it is not limited edition, it is limited supply. In fact VC only produces roughly 20,000 watches worldwide which compared to to the others brands is minimal. On top of this the 222 is only boutique exclusive. My second favourite is the Patek 5205r. It's stunning, followed by the tudor bb58 Pro. Probably the only 3 I would get. The patek 5374 and the GS white lion is stunning, but no point thinking about it. Its unobtainable, so not worth looking at.

the 222 is also my favourite this year. I also liked the Platinum sports watch w/ the tourbillion from Parmigiani, and is looking forward to a Streamliner with Vanta Black dial from H. Moser. However, having ordered 2 CZAPEK and also gotten an AP Royal Oak 50th anniversary model this year, I don't have the budget for anymore new watches, but the 222 is really tempting, especially because I also wanted an old 222 before they re-launched this one.

I reckon the Lange Odysseus in titanium would be a Damian-watch - it’s a truly stunning creation in my opinion🤠 (Limited to 250 pieces, but he might be able to get in contention?) I wholly and categorically agree about the green GMT - I think Rolex are virtually trolling the unwashed masses of spivs and flippers by making something as _screwed-up_ as that! And yeah - I also agree on the new vintage look Calatrava. I’ve already registered interest at my AD - although it wouldn’t be the high complications piece in my case, alas. Again, a really beautiful creation.

The Patek 5226G is my favourite of the bunch, the dial texture is incredible. Way out of my price range though! I have a LHD Tudor Pelagos so was looking forward to the Rolex lefty, but I can't understand why they had to move the date window too. It looks strange, I think I'd have to see it in person before I get added to another endless list :)

Great review. I agree that the green GMT is superfluous, a coke would have been nicer. Nevertheless I am sure the price of this odd "lefty" GMT will soar to crazy levels. I own a Hulk and am on the list for the green AP Diver - green has always been one of my favourite colours. Having said this, I think watch makers are overdoing it with the green theme...such highly reputed producers like Rolex, AP, PP and VC should be more creative and stop running after trends but rather set new trends. There are so many other colours to explore...

I dislike Butterfly clasps so I will get it a nice after market leather strap.

I have a theory about the Rolex LHD Riddler GMT... its been released so AD's can work out who the flippers are. Picture it: Customer walks in: Hi can I put my name down for a LHD ? Sales assistant: Sure let me take some details. Can you write them down on this piece of paper? Customer: *writes with right hand* Sales assistant: What watch are we wearing today? Customer: *Slides up left sleeve* [insert brand and model] Sales assistant: Thanks, we'll be in touch Customer: * leaves* Store manager to the sales assistant: Did you do the two factor test Sales assistant: Yes Store manager: did he pass? Sales assistant: Nope Store manager: Put him on the blacklist

I know I speak for many watch enthusiasts because the comments are impossible to ignore. We are so tired of hearing about Rolex watch releases when you can't even buy any at all without getting worked over by the grey marketeers. I mean come on already FFS. A mass producer all of the sudden has become a micro brand? People paying new car prices for unremarkable movements because supply has been intentionally manipulated like OPEC. RIDICULOUS. I will make a conscious effort to never buy another Rolex or Tudor. You might as well get a Vacheron or Patek if you are going to pay these absurd hype brand prices and go through this nonsensical Ferrari wait list malarkey. Why hype brand? Because Rolex make literally a million watches a year. They don't make a grand complication. They have ZERO inhouse movement heritage prior to 2004 to when they stopped putting someone else's movements in their cases. Even their dials and bracelets were also outsourced to wholly distinct third parties. I can't name anything they claim to have invented that wasn't already being manufactured at the time. Their only major horological advancement has been a rainbow 🌈 dial of diamonds and comic book character ceramic bezels. Meanwhile look at the new Tourbi from Grand Seiko. At this point I would not wear a Rolex in public if you gave it to me for free. I'd definitely sell it though.

Hi Damian, I enjoyed the review even if it did underline my inadequate watch fund. Green and gold is a classic colour combination: it can flatter otherwise unremarkable aircraft, and looks good on coaches too. Gold watches with gold bracelets are too full on for me, but look good on a strap. I approve of the Airking and really like the Black Bay Pro, but it remains to be seen how it wears, at 14.6mm thick. Patek Philippe have done well and the Rolex Leftie is just nuts.

lovely run through. The VC is err umm "not my cup of tea" it looks like a cheap 70's watch my dad had and besides its too small and way too thin. I was hoping for new Everest editions or ideally an announcement they were putting them onto general release. Anything with diamonds is automatically a shit show and anyone who buys anything with diamonds needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves "am I a drug dealer living in Miami?" if the answer is no then the watch should be thrown immediately in the bin where it belongs. The new PP's (diamond dog excepted of course) look classic and welcome the GS skeleton is great looking although Im not a fan of skeletal look watches. Rolex: I am right handed but wear on the right and always have. The new GMT should suit me but the colour combination is drab and totally lacks curb appeal. The rest of Rolex is a mess too including the discontinuing of any OP41's which are part of their entry level range. It seems a deliberate attempt at alienating new and potential customers. Perhaps they should have actually increased supply to drive down these insane grey market prices but this move will have the effect of increasing demand on the grey market. hmmm I've supported Rolex strategy in the past but this is indefensible imho. whilst I haven't had a long look over the whole releases but it's a bit underwhelming overall to me at least
