If it's one penny less than I have in my bank account, then it's 'sensible'

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?
