Didn't spoil this a couple days ago when I got the email because it said not to share it, but now that he's promoting it on IG, it's probably safe. 

I don't know any details other than there's a new release being announced this week. Current owners have an opportunity to attend the virtual launch a couple days early. 

I don't be one to spoil it, but if I can I'll ask him if he minds if I post some screenshots of it. Hopefully so, but if not you'll just have to wait for the public announcement. 

I'm excited to see what is new. 

Having just got mine along with several other watches this past year, I probably won't be adding this to my collection but never say never.

Mmmh, curious about this!

I'll ask if he'll let me share a couple shots after the zoom tonight here in the forum. Otherwise the official launch is Thursday. Clearly he's adding in something lumed.

BESPOKE

The SB07 sports watch was inspired by a desire to create a versatile timepiece that could be worn in a wide range of settings and activities. Responding to increasing demand for functional and fashionable sports watches, we saw a place for a high-end watch that combined durability and functionality with sleek, sophisticated style. This new sports watch represents a departure from the previous dress watch models, offering a stylish yet functional option for active individuals.

It's a splendid watch with the same awesome custom dials that existed in the previous models. A genta style that I like. 

I think it's a bit easy though, he's surfing on a trend like everybody else, the case-bracelet looks like the ones from other brands. I know we can't reinvent the wheel and the watch is really attractive and surely high end finish but I gotta say it, it feels a bit opportunistic

I'm not in a position to order one but I really like the signature. Had a bit of a Straum feel on the dial.

I think he offers something different in that you really can do a lot of customization in a sports watch which really isn't available right now, especially at that price point. There's definitely options at higher prices to customize pieces, but this seems like a great opportunity for people who aren't looking to spend $20k.

 

And I can't begrudge someone for taking advantage of an opportunity. Nothing is guaranteed and is opportunity is knocking, open the door. I think this will definitely be a success.
