As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I love this look (which is why I already own the Oris Diver’s 65) but this is still tempting.Rixsler86 wrote:New Yemas

That coffin-link bracelet seems to be the historically accurate style but I’m not seeing it as an option on the website. I think I’d go with that one on the 39mm if it were an option.
Would also like to see them come out with a no-date version. It reminds me a lot of what keeps me from buying most variants of the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53. Those markers and numerals are just too cool to not have balance with them.

Already $1000 markup on the new blue BB58. Hmmm, it's still available from big ADs like Tourneau at retail if you move quickly.....

The tale I heard about the c o c ktail time was that it was because when you raised a glass for a toast, you wouldn't offend anyone with the ugly side of your strap. Or something.

The Japanese do that with dressier watches. The cleaner look towards the viewer is considered polite, I think.Dub Rubb wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 10:16 pmThe tale I heard about the c o c ktail time was that it was because when you raised a glass for a toast, you wouldn't offend anyone with the ugly side of your strap.

Mido is dipping into their back catalog to launch the stunning Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961. I personally wish they would have retained the all-stainless bezel of the original, but it’s still a very striking watch.

Thanks @recapt, I like this a lot! And glad to see Mido didn’t go bigger.recapt wrote:Mido is dipping into their back catalog to launch the stunning Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Agreed. The original just recently came into my radar and I had hoped they would re-release it some day.pdsf wrote:Thanks @recapt, I like this a lot!

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
If they had stuck to the original 38mm diameter / 18mm lug width it would have been an instabuy for me I think. I am in the minority though.
Still, it’s a very nice re-release! Now who has a code!?

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Yea, the steel bezel would have been my preference too but this is still a very cool release. Thanks for posting.

Based on other Mido releases over the past few years, if you wait ~9 months, you may be able to get this from an AD like Macy’s for ~$800.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Completely agree...best strategy with Mido is to wait out the hype. Great watches, but their marketing machine cannot sustain the value balloon they create with each launch.
