Maybe a Facebook presentation of 2017 models form January SIHH :)... like they presented ROs with 4 months delay :) :)

I'm waiting for new 42s in 44 design (without numbers and ceramic bezel...or to be more precise Trulli variations of 42)

Thats what i am thinking as well. New to everyone else, familiar to us.

I would be shocked if they launched anything outside of SIHH especially via social media

Same here. I think the current 42's look really dated.

I don't really see the point of 42s that look the same as the 44. They are almost the same size already. People don't buy the current 42 because the 44 doesn't fit it's likely both will fit or neither. They buy it because they like the different design.

Yes it looks dated but so does the RO, the Nautilus and many other very popular models. I think this is part of the appeal.

I don't buy the 44 because it's too big. The 42s fit me but just barely. They are almost the same size, but the design of the pushers on the 44s make them visually a lot bigger, I think.

IMO, the pushers on 44 look so much cooler than pushers on 42

I tried on 42 before buying 44 and it actually looks quite girly

Yeah, they really make the watch for me, along with the ceramic bezel. I have no problem at all with them going across my wrist, it would be the length and an overhang over my wrist edges that I couldn't abide. If possible people should try on a Schumacher with those huge pushers and then the 44s will seem pretty reasonable.

I tried on a D-Blue today and because I was worried about its 18mm thickness, I wore my 44 all day so when I tried it on it was nothing, no issue with the thickness at all. So much is relative.

Those were already launched via Roger, not youtube/Facebook. He has had his for a week now. Granted it was the even more limited 50 piece version, but still

I agree completely, the pushers on the 44s are one of the coolest features. I just need bigger wrists! (Although I wouldn't exactly call the 42s "girly". )

Well if you only love oversized watches then maybe they can seem girly, I tend to prefer reasonably sized watches, 40mm usually, so my CE diver is fine for me, sure at 7inch wrists I can wear the 44's, but just feel they are a bit too big for me, while the diver is perfect, but when Intried the SS 44 and then out back the diver I had the impression it was smallish, but when I tried the 44 wearing my 5712, it was too huge. All is relative

I totally agree and I much prefer nauties with 40mm size but Patek has started to increase to 43/44, for eg. 5990, 40th anniversary models. Very strange!
