Have noticed the brass theme as well Steve. Saw it at Oceanictime on those watches
you are mentioning, as well as a Panerai. I think they look NICE to be honest.
They
change things up a little, and give people the option of getting something other than
silver, gold, rose-gold, black, or gunmetal finishes. Also like how there are evidently
different finishes within the brass watches out there. Some of them have a look that
is closer to gold. While others seem to have a more subtle light copper look which is
pretty nice I think.
It's interesting because alot of times we try to figure out what
might be the next new trend for the coming year, and this seems to be one that is
revealing itself right now.
