Tried on all the 2022 novelties, with some pics

Was able to view and try on all of the 2022 releases and as usual, came away impressed. A great private session with my favorite sales associate here in Carmel - can't express my thanks enough!

Now, my thoughts on some of the individual pieces:
-The Destro GMT is definitely not for me. I'm a lefty that wears my watch on my left wrist, and it just felt weird / wrong. I also don't love the color combination of black / green on the insert.
-Really liked the Air-King! Never thought about it before this, but it was well done.
-The Falcon Eye was pretty subtle and I initially didn't notice it when trying it on until my associate said something. I thought there were smudges on the crystal and tried to wipe them away! Pictures make this watch look better than it is, in my opinion. The picture below makes it look really different, but in person it just looks black. I came away underwhelmed.
-The mint green DJ was also somewhat of a letdown, as I liked it in pictures but not in person. Same goes for the mint green motif dial.
-First time I've actually tried the Deepsea on (surprisingly) and man, is that thing THICK.
-The runaway winner was the blue motif DJ. Looks great in pictures and is an absolute stunner in person. I already have a DJ41 but would consider adding this one to it, which is kind of crazy for me. Gosh, it was a beauty though...

Ok, onto the pictures - but not without a shot of what I wore first!
