    Lightbulb Twenty second want-list

    The secret is not to think too long about it - otherwise we'd all come up with silly lists.

    But take about twenty-thirty seconds - no more - thinking of what watches are on your shortlist. This way it'll probably correlate to ones you've been thinking of for a while and the ones you really want instead of a fantasy list.

    I can think of about 15...with a total value of well over 100k.

    Here they are if you're interested:

    Rolex Daytona - Everose
    Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
    Breguet Marine Big Date
    Patek Philippe 5712
    Audemars Piguet Diver
    Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chrono (white dial)
    Mont Blanc Nicolas Rieussec Chrono
    Rolex Submariner ceramic ND Submariner
    Hamilton - Lord Hamilton Auto Chrono
    Tag Monaco Racing club LE
    Dreadnought GMT
    Sinn 6000

    There's a Hublot I saw the other day too that I liked the look of () but don't know the model.

    Rolex 1665 Great White
    Vintage BPFF

    BPFF "No Rads" dial variant
    GO PanoMaticLunar
    GO PanoMaticCounter XL
    Nomos Club Datum Automatic
    Azimuth Mr Roboto

    If I added those to my current collection I think I'd be done with watches as I'd have the perfect collection


    Well, maybe a Urwerk as well as I love their designs (just not the price tags!)

    Stoaty , I can tell you too - if I had all the ones in my list, I would walk away from watch-collecting a happy man. I don't ask for much as you can see.

    Dornbluth 99.0
    Seadweller 1665 - not a cats chance
    Dornbluth 99.1
    GMT - undecided exactly what
    Dornbluth 99.0
    Seamaster 300 - CK 14755
    My old Seamaster 165.024 - again, not a cats chance
    Dornbluth 99.1
    Speedmaster transitional
    Speedmaster Ed White

    Written as they popped into my head. I thought I was reasonably happy with my current crop, but this exercise does suggest otherwise! In fact, I could have gone on but time ran out...

    Anyone looking to move a Dornbluth on? :)

    actually, now you mention it....

    Some variation of proper Royal Oak in steel (no Offshore tat, please) and something tasty in platinum (Patek 5110?) would do nicely.

    I'm quite happy with what I have, however. I've come to accept that delicate and/or overly complicated watches do not suit me at this stage in life.

    PS: I wouldn't turn down a Paul Newman-dialed Daytona, either. The upcoming 50th anniversary model might also be nice if they make it in Pt, though — or it might be not-so-nice. We'll see.
