    Current dream top three

    Idly imagining a windfall of monstrous proportions (i.e. money no object) I've decided my life would be most improved by getting my hands on:

    • Breguet Marine - the blue swirly dialled one[/*:m:hzcfmphw]
    • A fine dressy regulator (TBC but whatever looks most like the Tiffany example posted by Heurty in the current reg thread)[/*:m:hzcfmphw]
    • The perfect ana-digi. I have absolutely no idea what this is and will never satisfy the craving, but it's my biggest "undecided" in all of WISdom[/*:m:hzcfmphw]


    Anybody else dreaming?

    Patek Naughty GMT
    Rolex Day Date II - Platinum
    It's just a matter of time...

    Re: Current dream top three

    Money no object, at all? Easy, a Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie. The other two watches come with it.

    Being slightly more realistic:
    1. Meteorite Daytona
    2. JLC Ultra Thin Moon 39
    3. A birth year SD in perfect condition

    Re: Current dream top three

    I actually have my dream three at the moment, but who knows....it could all change so easily!

    Speedmaster Professional '74, so totally wearable, don't have to worry too much about it.
    63/64 SM300, beaten up and full of wabi, gorgeous patination.
    Incoming 16600 LV.

    I feel fulfilled.... but for how long?

    Re: Current dream top three

    My dream top three are a Sub date 16610, Explorer II 16570 and Explorer 114270 - which I have managed to purchase and consider myself extremely fortunate.

    A future dream top three would be something that is not made any more, hard to find but still wearable. May be a double red Sea Dweller, Comex Sub and a PN Daytona. Plus all in A1 mint condition!

    Having read a number of threads I have changed my mind...

    1.SM300
    2.5512
    3.IWC 3231

    My game plan is to:

    1.Start buying parts online and put this together myself
    2.Graduation present in the summer
    3.Start a fund from my premium bond winnings for this one..

    Re: Current dream top three

    The rest all change but one that I've always envied is the Anonimo Millemetri mod 2000.

    No chance of ever affording one or justifying it's cost so it is a dream....

    edit - this was the review where I first became aware of it, surprising how long they have quietly been around.. http://www.vintageure.dk/uploads/div...Millemetri.pdf

    Re: Current dream top three

    Rolex 5508
    Grand Seiko SBGH001
    Some pilot watch, probably a Stowa Flieger

    I was thinking of adding a chronograph or some other watch with a complication as my third choice, but I like the clean and simple 3-hands watches the most.

    edit:
    Oh wait, reading the post a few above mine, I may have to swap the pilot watch for a Paul Newman-dial Rolex Daytona.

    1). Omega Speedmaster Professional
    2). A Rolex of any Description
    3). A Manual Wind Chronograph - Gold or White Gold Preferably.

    Re: Current dream top three

    The current top 3 includes:
    1. Dornblüth 99.1 (most likely with silver dial, but the black dial looks great as well)
    2. Breitling Transocean (white dial and brown croco strap)
    3. Omega Speedmaster (either co-axial 44,25 "standard" or the co-axial 44,25 split seconds - but could also be the 3570.50)

    The new Rolex Datejust II 41mm with smooth bezel is also high on the wish-list :-)
