Mixed feelings again alas, but no big worries!

While I appreciate the new evolutions of movements and materials at the very high end of brands, there is very little new for the 'normal' person, so to speak.
How many people will really be queing up to buy a fully baguette laid Royal Oak
But thats fine by me, as my watch lust list is way too long already!
But, again, I feel another chance has gone by to show more focus on the Jules Audemars range... and to make it worse, they tease us with an absolute knockout JA tourbillon chronograph! Lets have more non-tourbillon open worked Jules Audemar pieces, please please!!
It brings me onto another thought of mine... by having SIHH every year, there is a huge pressure on the brands to have a knockout piece, or something very exciting, whereas to rework and introduce a new line of watches takes a lot longer than the one year cycle.
That why mixed feelings... Am happy I don't have to add any new watches onto my grail list (except maybe the JA TC!), but also disappointed to see so many of the pieces essentially.... just diamonds!
