Well, Basel is not too far off (March 17-24) and the trend of releasing info ahead of the show seems to be true this year as well. Omega has introduced the RG PO with a brown dial - I like it. (Photo from Omega's Twitter account) Arnold and Son introduced the HM Double Hemisphere Perpetual Moonphase - beautiful, but not sure I get the complication. (Photo from Twitter) Breitling is introducing a new Avenger Chrono model - not a fan of the color combinations here. (Photo from Wristreview.com) Chopard is introducing the L.U.C. Regulator - this one is not for me. (Photo from TopLook Magazine) HYT Watches is releasing another Skull Bad Boy watch but this one uses damascus steel and a black fluid (not sure how that will work?) (Photo from PuristPro) These are just a few on the ones I've seen already. Keep you eye out for more releases and post them here so we can track our thoughts on Basel 2016 in one thread.

See, there is a lid for every trashcan . Seriously, that is the great thing about watches - variety is key because we all have different tastes. Oris is releasing the Artix Skeleton - 39mm with an automatic movement Oris Cal. 734, based on Sellita SW 200-1, black-plated priced at $2600

I really like the Breitling too, I'd like to figure out if they have any pricing out for it. The Oris is cool too, and with the in-house movement with skeleton at 2,600, not a bad deal.

Looks like I'm odd man out on the Breitling. The Oris is using a highly modified Sellita SW200 movement, not an in-house movement. That said, as highly modified as it is, I still think it's a pretty decent value especially if you can get a discount from an AD on it.

Just didn't want you or anyone else heading down the path to purchase for $2600 thinking you were getting an in house movement.

I like the looks of the Breitling, but the strap would have to be replaced.

Whoa - I like that one a lot! The blue and yellow work well together and the use of yellow is still restrained. The day function is very unique and well done, and having the date in yellow is a great touch too. Hummm, might have to see if I can find one at the Oris AD in town to try on. It's large and the lugs look long, so no telling how it will fit IRL.

Although I do like the band on it in that picture, I think you could have some fun with some natos too
