Thread: It's early but.... What's on your Christmas list?!

  1. #1

    It's early but.... What's on your Christmas list?!

    I know, I know.. it's early! but hey I'm always interested to see what others are putting on your Chirstmas lists!

    Myself, well my family haven't done presents since I turned 16 (13 years ago!), so its just a case of me deciding what I'm going to give myself! hehe..

    As an Omega fan I'm thinking of tracking down one of the following books:

    A Time Capsule
    A Journey Through Time

    Sinn 556. Holding out until the 1st for a second hand one, if I can't find one then it'll be a new one.

    A week of induced coma, in order to get some rest.

    The cheapest one so far... a Bluetooth G-Shock. Just can't decide on which colour... and then I'll probably have to buy it before my girlfriend gives me the money back so it's not a surprise at all :D

    An effective government who actually cared about normal folk would be good, as would a little consideration and less aggression between certain members here. Oh and a job would be splendid too.

    Cheers,

    Got my pressie early. My dearly beloved bought this Tutima beads of rice bracelet from Foggy here on the forum. Well, it's not like these turn up every day so had to strike while the iron was hot, so to speak. I'm a very happy guy, no doubt I'll get a box of hankies' & some socks on Xmas day though, if I'm lucky.

    Cheers.

    Some serious watches listed so far, you're lucky gits if someones going to get them for you... or are you lot like me? listing things that you're getting for yourself! :lol:

    Amen to love and family, that's the key to Christmas really... having been out of the 'hype' of Christmas for years, in terms of spending a load of dosh on presents etc, you realise it boils down to spending time with one another... no doubt the presents will return when there's children involved as its great seeing their reactions and how happy they are..

    Really want those books though, feel I may struggle to hunt down an English version of A Time Capsule before Christmas day.. nothing like a challenge.. would love to be flicking through its pages in front of a fire on Christmas day.. (potentially dangerous if pissed up on booze :blackeye: ).

    I was doing exactly the same thing 2 years ago with a long term plan to buy a new Omega PO but cracked at 10 months and went for a vintage Speedy Omega.. If I was a betting man you will crack or your tastes will change..

    Only one watch related thing on my list and that's a white dial Mondaine big date quartz. Considered an auto but I think VFM wise the quartz is pretty good.

    Apart from that a Pure DAB Highway 300Di.

    Oh, and Santa, a cure to my current health issue please. It's getting rather tedious now!

    Funny you should say that as I was planning on getting a PO in the summer but have decided to save up for an extra 6 months and get the Roadster.

    I am a betting man, love the horses - did you see Kauto Star last w/e!, but as I saved up for nearly a year for my Steelfish and didn't deviate, I think I can do it. Happiness is in the doing and anticipating not the getting... right? :lol:

    A couple of SKX007's, a load of custom parts from Yobokies and 10watches and some watch tools so I can start modding. Think that's fairly achievable.

    Fitted Ping wedges if my wife can stretch to it, I may treat myself to a Ping K15 rescue club if the coffers have anything in them. :D

    I think these will be flying out like hot cakes, looks like a fantastic little watch, look forward to seeing some reviews and feedback, I have no doubts that it will be a great value quality watch.

    Omega seamaster 2254 or the blue bond 2531, but for that to happen I would have to open my own wallet.

    More reasonable wish list; some nice straps for my Seiko diver.

    I fitted a better strap to a 3133 Strela reissue for Santa today. Lucky I know where he hides my presents.

    I asked for a G Shock last year, but it didn't happen. Handkies and socks, oh! and a nice big blue casserole pot.

    So I'm guessing a new pinny this year and if I'm lucky some socks, no handkies (got plenty) and smellies, maybe! :roll: :D

    Nice - was rather tempted myself but as my Christmas wishlist involves (i) surviving flights to and from New Zealand with two young children, and (ii) managing to get January's house improvements in under budget, I can't afford anything else. If (ii) happens, a celebratory watch purchase will follow. If not, a less than celebratory watch sale might ensue...
