Nice. I like the fact the Glacier Blue and Arctic White are available with white straps.

Torn between buying gold (midnight sun) or waiting for a mango to pop up

Buy the gold now and sell it later when, if, you get a Mango?

Very nice indeed. :thumbup:

Presumably with a choice of case size between 36, 38, 40 and 41 there is now a suitably sized Twelve for everyone.

Or for those who view variety as the spice of life, have one of each case size. :)

The gold looks gorgeous! But then so are the other 3 colours .... :problem:

The Mango was the most popular of the LEs, but it didn't take long before the novelty wore off for me.
It looked too orange most of the time, whereas I was hoping for more yellowy/gold tones, much like the fleshy part of a Mango.

This is what it's really like ...

There`s a peach version still on clearance for those wanting mango - not the same exact color but pretty close

I like the new colours, the ice blue looks nice but in some pics looks a bit washed out. You know when you wash white clothes with jeans or blue collared clothes and the white gets a bit of blue tint. I wish that baby blue was a bit more punchy.

I really appreciate those pics of the mango! I didn't realize it was so orange IRL. Now I wanna see some real life Peach pictures too.

I've just been going over these again (as one does), and it's difficult to say, but the white/silver version looks to have plain, steel hands. I really hope that's not the case and they've carried the anthracite/gunmetal finish over from the 40mm.

Otherwise, it'll be the gold for me should I go for one ... or maybe the Glacier :problem: :lol:

I realise that when we chatted this morning I said I was going to hold off and wait for titanium models. However…

If you do buckle and buy one…

The gold or proper blue are the way to go. Not the glacier…

Just in case I decide not to wait…

When you flip we could swap for a Pure. :)

No hold that thought…

I will definitely wait for the chronograph.

Those flipping days are well behind me now. :silent:

As I said, in truth, one CW is more than enough for me and I reckon I've already got the best heading my way in the 36mm GMT.
