Any word on where to pick these up? I need me one of those SRPE29s.

Reached out to REJ to see if they'll be stocking them.
I'd say give it a little time as the releases are snowballing due to coronavirus. The one in the picture looks to be the store-sample prototypes (non-functional) but they typically showcase these a few months in advance for dealers to handle. I predict... September-october.
The Worn & Wound article here is saying summer for the Baby Tunas and fall for the Arnies.

Frederique Constant's continued partnership with the Austin Healey brand is bringing us two variants of the Vintage Rally Healey Automatic, one with a silver dial and rose gold tone case and the other with a stainless steel case and British racing green dial. Any guess which one will be more popular? 🤔

Newmark has just announced a new release for later this year: Newmark 52.

It's a quartz field watch, 37mm in diameter, with lug width of 20mm and lug-to-luge distance of around 47mm. VH31A movement. As per comments on IG, the case will not have drilled lugs.

There will be 3 variants:

1) Welvet black dial with white hands and markers
2) Gloss black gilt relief dial with gilt hands
3) Matt ivory dial with heat blued hands

No real-life pics yet....

Screen Shot 2020-05-31 at 4.19.07 PM.png

The quality of these should be very good, if their past offerings were any indication. My Newmark 71 is well made. In addition, Ewan, the company owner, provides excellent customer service.

Unlike the Newmark 71, this one will not be issued via Kickstarter and will be directly available from the company.

Pricing has not been confirmed, but each will reportedly cost <£200.
Estimated release date: October, 2020.

The company's homepage: https://newmarkwatchcompany.com/

Their IG: https://www.instagram.com/newmarkwatchcompany/

Here are the specs taken directly from Newmark's site:

Diameter: 37mm across bezel
Lug tip to lug tip: 46.5mm
Lug width: 20mm
Thickness: 12mm to top of crystal
Solid screw down case back with circular brushing
Removable spring bars
Water resistant to 100 metres (static pressure)

Crown:
7.5mm Stainless steel, signed, non-screw down with 28 teeth

Crystal:
Sapphire with underside anti-reflective coating

Dials:
V1: Velvet matt black with white markers
Super Luminova C3-X1 grade to Arabic numerals

Wow... fresh in the inbox:

Zelos Mirage, a skeleton tourbillon: https://zeloswatches.com/collections/mirage-tourbillon

Specs:
Case Size : 41mm Diameter, 45mm Lug to Lug
Thickness : 9.5mm without crystal
Strap Width: 20mm
Water Resistance: 50m
Movement: LJP 7814
Power Reserve: 60 Hours
Frequency: 28800 bhp
Crystal: Sapphire (Front, dial, back)
Limited Edition: 10 pieces in total

The flying tourbillion is manufactured by La Joux-Perret.

You get the Zelos wood box, watch roll, and a leather briefcase with each watch. One horween and one genuine crocodile strap is included.

Maybe the most impressive thing: These are already built and ready to ship. Orders start June 9 @ 10p.m. Singapore time and will ship within 1 week.

Comes in damascus titanuim yellow, blue, and layered copper and nickel (called Mokume Gane):

Blue Damascus titanium:

Image

Layered copper and nickel. Apparently the copper will patina over time:

Image

Also comes in plain titanuim with either PVD or silver mainplates:

Image

10 pieces total across all colorways.

Cost is $11,900 for the damascus/layered models or $10,900 for the titanium.

Here's the copy from the website on the case materials:
Timascus is Titanium Damascus, an alloy formed by combining two different titanium alloys, resulting in an extremely strong and light material boasting wood-grain patterns. It is a very visually striking material that never fails to capture the attention of those who lay eyes on it.

It is worth noting that Zelos is the first watch manufacturer in the world to create a watch utilizing the Ti-Damascus material. The Ti-damascus material used is comprised of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium, repeatedly folded and forged to create a material strong than the sum of it’s parts. To achieve its stunning colors, each piece is torched personally by Elshan.

Yellow Titanium Damascus is achieved with a lower temperature of roughly 350 Celcius while Blued Titanium Damascus is achieved at approximately 500 Celcius.

Lastly, we have Mokume-gane: A similar metalworking procedure of Japanese origins, utilizing copper and nickel silver to produce a similar wood-grain pattern. One difference is that Mokume-gane will patina, with the copper portions eventually aging to a beautiful dark red, providing a contrast against the nickel silver.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

:shock: Whoa! Didn't exactly see this coming. This is not my thing at all but it's pretty cool that he got it made. I hope it's a success. I'd like to hear the backstory on it. In some ways this is very Zelos but it's also just not even close to the typical Zelos price point. I wonder if maybe he got enough people to verbally commit or pay up front for some of these so that he could make a few more to sell. Or if he just had enough confidence that he knows his client base would buy all ten. Or is he just rolling the dice?

I've been told that he is from a well connected family in Singapore. Maybe he has enough interest from some really wealthy folks already? This isn't a WIS enthusiast watch for his typical customers of earlier models. Either way a cool endeavor

I'm from Singapore but I haven't heard that. But it may well be true.

Based on the very enthusiastic Zelos Timekeepers Facebook page, I would say he has reasonable confidence that the watches will sell.
