43 x 13mm titanium case, 500m WR

3mm thick crystal like the preceding SAR, but different case shape and size, water resistance (original SAR had 1000m), removed cyclops and ceramic bezel rather than original rubber bezel.

 

Now would be a good time to play the attached audio file.

44 mm x 47 x 15.8 mm steel and titanium case, 30m WR.

Kind of a big date version of the previous Urwerks now that two squares make up each number. Last watch you should give a Milton Rum © score to if not already given.

42 x ?? mm stainless steel or rose gold case,

Steering wheel-stylized rotor  Shiny red alligator strap, maybe Mr Fabolous is their target market?

25600USD (45000 gumnuts)

 

40×13.8mm stainless steel case. 30m WR.

Slab sided like the Tudors that are intentionally visually thick to look bad next to big brothers cases. Pretty much what one could expect from Longines. Maybe Habring and Massena Labs could make a Sommatore inspired 36mm Chronofelix ZM?

Slightly more complex case on vintage Longines chronographs.

 

Not limited, 3000USD (5300 gumnuts)

 

36mm yellow gold case, 30m WR.

Unique sculptural aesthetic and Piaget movement but perhaps not the greatest horological value for the price.
