    First of all my apologies if there's a thread on this already. I did a search but didn't find anything.

    With Baselworld being just a week away (yay!) is there anything in particular you guys want to see released this year or have any secret info you'd like to share?

    I quite liked the teaser for new Tudor Heritage

    Then there was a picture of a pretty neat looking Aqua Terra:

    Then there was a decent Hamilton but that's all I've seen so far.
    Let the gossip begin.

    A Cal 9300 chronograph version of the Hour Vision, or a thinner, manual wind version of both the Cal 8500 and Cal 9300 for the De Ville line would be excellent.

    From Omega I'd love to see:

    - A 2 register chronograph that is no wider than 38 mm and no thicker than 10 mm. Big date at 6 would be even cooler. Nice variety of 2 or 3 color dials like the Schumacher Speedies or 3211.31, particularly a panda with touch of red markings.

    - A sunburst blue dial (or even the teak in blue) on the Aqua Terra 8500, particularly the 38 mm version. The Portofino would be flip fodder IMMEDIATELY.



    From any brand, but hopefully one I like:

    - A 37 mm or less ultra-thin with a combination power reserve + big date.... a layout like the GO PanoReserve would be perfect.

    < or >

    - Same size case with a moonphase at 6 and maybe a big date at 9.... similar to the scale of the DeVille Power Reserve subdials.

    I loved the JLC 39 mm ultra-thin moonphase in pictures. It was disproportionate in real life and worse on my wrist - too wide for being so thin & flat. At 37 mm it might be perfect. Those extra 2 mm don't sound like much until you do the math and find out that means 10% of extra surface area.

    I would love to see no price increases this year, from any brand.

    So we've got a gold Planet Ocean chronograph, possibly the ladies version in white ceramic, maybe an hour vision chrono too.

    Love how they've gone with the matte dial, IMO the Rolex Submariner should have that.

    I'd want that case, the no crown guard oyster case, on a Sub-ND. Buy a Sub-NC-C and case swap with that, and you'd have the ultimate modern submariner.

    Fair enough, the edge has that superdome look to it that I've always liked.
