What say you out of these three?

the new 42mm offshore looks more speical and red/orange accents and aracbic numbers on dial, while the 26400SO's color is most match I think, with white/silver dial matched with black index/red accents and black ceramic bezel,, what would you say out of these three?

the novelties are really big. is actually bigger than 47MM panerai. while the price is a bit insane for steel (non precious metal watches).

design is trendy and up to date, where people like bigger watch.

The first picture is the best watch, but I Lot prefer the rose gold one.

First or last. I have the first one and the ceramic bezel is a beautiful plus... And the chrono pushers too.

Among the three, the black dial Novelty 42mm. I have seen it in real life and it's a beauty. But it's a lot to pay for a SS watch.

So I like the colors of the themes watches (I had started off with the Panda ROO myself, then moved to a 44SS, and now have the 44RG) but for me, I need a ceramic bezel. The new theme updates look great, but for me, I’d go with the 44 for the squared pushers and ceramic bezel.

all of the above are pricey for steel...but that is the cost of playing ball in the AP game.

that said, given the size and foot print of these watches, I know personally i have more peace of mind when I have a cermet or ceramic bezel on these watches as they have an uncanny ability to bump into things. so...I'd say novelty Steel 44mm in this case, although i think the new black novelty 42mm is the prettiest of the lot.

44 ceramic as first choice. It's gorgeous. The new black and the new navy are nice as well but a ceramic bezel goes a long way.

I like the 42MM Black of the three. My favorite is the 42mm grey though.

I would prefer to go rose gold with the new releases but out of the watches shown in this thread I prefer the Panda dial.

IMO Novelty steel if it's sits well on your wrist.
