Tried on the WG Smurf yesterday...
Me like!

I have to admit I doubt Id buy one, just rather other
watches in that priceline.

IF (which wont happen) they ever brought the SS with blue
out Id get it!

Very nice! Interesting to see how the spring is replaced by ball bearings. I like the fact that 1/2 minutes clicks remained the same.

I agree, although the old spring and the bezel worked fine but this new design with spring assisted ball bearings is magnificent. I can't wait till the SS models come out. It will surely be on my list of other watches...

I think TT will come in 2009 then the SS finally in 2010 basel. Of course this is just a wild guess...

I would really hope they keep the 16610 and 14060 as "staples" in the lineup

Wow, great information. I didn't know that the luminescent part on the bezel also had a sapphire lens on it!

THAT´S my problem!

I LOVE the 16613 and fear the new one won´t be as clasic and beautiful as it is now!

And I´m NOT gonna have the cash before Basel!

:-(

I hope Tempoking will rescue me ...
