Milton Rum Independents corner
Fears x Christopher Ward Alliance 01

3291GBP (6500 gumnuts). Sold out.
Autodromo type C
42 x 36 x 10mm, 30m WR.
Sorry about the link but there’s only two reviews (from “journalist” websites that also sell the item) and the other one makes this one seem good.
Voice note from Thomas definitely included HERE is a link if you can’t find it.
BaSiCaLLy an F91W in a metal case. The Casio A1000 as talked about for about 2 minutes in a previous R&R is full metal including bracelet for about 40USD (67 gumnuts with GST).
“In the end, I see this as a huge win for Autodromo (..)” – Danny Milton in above article.

Audemars Piguet Code 11.59
41 x 10.7mm steel or black ceramic and steel case, 30m WR
Very round, almost Marc Newson round hands yet the indexes are angular… Stamped “guilloche”, much like Patek has done the past few years.
Third times (generations) the charm? If they had launched the 11.59 with this after more considered advertising campaigns would AP still be a one-watch brand?
Not limited, 21000CHF (37000 gumnuts) for blue or green dials, 23000CHF (40000 gumnuts) for the beige fumée dial.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Grained Dial in White Gold

Original Tuscan dial platinum royal oak 14802PT sold for 804400CHF (1.4m gumnuts) at Phillips The Royal Oak 50th https://www.phillips.com/
New one isn’t quite as aggressive as the original ones, but Citizen and Patek also have asphalt-like dialed releases from last year..
Not limited, 65000CHF (113000 gumnuts)
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 43mm Black Ceramic and Yellow Gold
43 x 14.4 mm ceramic case with gold accents, 100m WR.
Black and yellow JPS theme trend continues strong. Offshore watch on an alligator strap?
Not limited, 53900CHF
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “the beast” ceramic
42 x 15.3mm ceramic case, 100m WR
30th anniversary of the original Royal Oak Offshore.
It was unveiled at Baselworld in 1993, which was when Gerald Genta first caught sight of it. And he was not amused by the oversized monster that his masterpiece had become. Storming into the AP pavilion he is said to have shouted, “You killed my baby!”. The Offshore’s nickname at the company was said to have been ‘The Beast’, but Genta apparently had his own scathing name for it: ‘The Whale’, an oversized and unwieldy creation that he thought lacked the finesse of his original.
Emmanuel Gueit, the designer of the Offshore has since worked on illustrious designs like bloated semi-round Piaget’s, Nataf era-Zeniths and Rolex Cellini.
One of only three current Royal Oak Offshore models with a Petite Tapisserie dial
Not limited in number but boutique exclusive, 70000CHF (121000 gumnuts)
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 37mm Geneva Blue dial
37 x 8.9mm yellow gold case, 50m WR
Unlike those old stone dial Day Dates, this has applied indexes and a printed minute track, making it possible to actually tell time with it.
Not limited, 51000CHF (88000 gumnuts)
RedBar x Bamford B347 Special Limited Edition
41.5 x 14.5mm carbon fibre case, 100m WR.

1853 MC (Sellita SW150) for automatic model or “high autonomy” quartz
Just imagine manually winding the large size with its automatic movement with this crown.
No large size full gold model. Plenty of geezer eyes in the official pictures with Rami Malek.
Not limited, starting at 3750 EUR (5250 gumnuts) for the small quartz in steel, 5900EUR (8200 gumnuts) for the large automatic in steel up to 33300EUR (46300 gumnuts) for the medium size quartz model in gold with diamonds. Actually checked Cartier Australia for the gumnut prices.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “Tech Gombessa”

A dive watch so pointless you can’t even time your cooking of pasta with it
