Any proof of this watch other than one IG video (that people are saying is fake)?

I see no reason why the brand needs so many GMTs in its lineup, especially considering getting one is so difficult anyway—it makes actually making a choice a moot point.

Also, it's very odd for the brand to overlook the 70th anniversary of the Submariner completely.
Remember twenty years back when no one really wanted new GMTIIs? I went to buy a Sub out the window display and the jeweller was desperate to sell me his GMTII instead. I laughed, not even at £1800! They were just for the older guys...pass.

Not much jumping out at me. I like that platinum 1908 but, personally, wouldn’t pay £26k for a watch to wear a few times a month.

I like that Tudor GMT but don’t have any need for another one. Guess my wallet is mostly safe from W&W.

Deepseas are no longer Sea-Dwellers, they are now seperate lines.

"Sea-Dweller" text has been removed from all versions of the Deepsea, except for the Deepsea Challenge.

The dials now have less lines of text

I like the pt 1908, very appealing to me. It's the asking price I'm less happy with . Might pay a little visit to my ADs when available and check it out. I doubt there'll be a waiting list for it.

A shame that the blue dial on the new YG Deepsea appears to be boring flat blue and not the sunburst “Royal” blue as on the 126618LB

Totally bummed that the new RG DD blue green dial is only on a 36mm and not the 40mm. Rats!!!

Olive green is still there. I figured that wouldn’t get discontinued.

Didn’t they slightly alter the green tone on the Cermit & said that was to commemorate the 70th Anniversary?

They did make the bezel more yellowish, but never said it’s about the 70th anniversary
