Jay (Eire) shares New Year greetings with a festive image, sparking community discussion on cultural icons and upcoming watch releases. Celebrate with WatchProSite.

Jay (Eire)'s festive post, celebrating the Lunar New Year, offers a unique glimpse into the cultural intersections cherished by the WatchProSite community. While the initial post extends warm greetings, the subsequent discussion, though brief, hints at deeper horological connections and upcoming releases, making this thread a valuable historical marker for collectors interested in independent watchmaking and community celebrations.

Key Points from the Discussion

The discussion suggests that certain watch models, particularly those with anniversary editions or open-dial bracelets, are appearing in more diverse locations due to their relative production numbers and overlapping features with other releases.
A new release with a similar aesthetic to the 'C6' model is anticipated, which may appeal to collectors who appreciate that particular design.
The post features two 'icons': a rose gold watch and a White Rabbit candy, humorously noting that the candy might have commanded a premium price.
