Thanks for your kind words. I think as I have posted before on here, I find it a little frustrating at the elapsed time between novelties being announced and actually coming to market. For example, where are the silicon nitride cases announced way before the NTPT cases were announced? I recognise the manufacturing challenges RM takes on, but I guess I would prefer the announcements to be made a little closer to the end of the R&D cycle!
Anyway, I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I will stop there.
Of the new ones, the 35 in NTPT looks nice, but having not seen the case in the flesh, it is difficult to comment further.
I think the Loeb design (36) is quite interesting, but am not sure I actually like it - again you would need to see it in the flesh!
The 50 looks very interesting. The combination of materials does seem to work quite well.
The 60, I like the case design but I think the flight bezel (ie the 39) is more successful than the nautical version, although clearly the former is a lot more complex than the latter.
The 63, I just don't see the point of the complication. Is it intended to be a variation of the Hermes Temps Suspendu idea?
Just my comments of course - I am a huge fan generally speaking but of course do not like all of them - everyone has different opinions!
