If jolly old St Nick could bring you any watch for Christmas (rarity and cost no object) what would you ask for?
I fell in love with this when I saw it recently.

Anything from Alanski’s vintage vault.

Looking forward to seeing Eddies 36mm Everest in time for Xmas too
Should be very popular.

Maybe one of those Gevril daytonas as a real daytona will be locked away. A platinum DD or a root beer GMT as seen on this forum recently or really just anything nice. A rose gold reverso on alligator or Ostrich maybe

This week's daydream is a Cartier Tank Francaise, but I'm sure I'll have changed my mind come the 25th

Same as every year...
A 5517. Never going to happen though.

But realistically, PRS-29AM

Genuinely nothing. I'm happy with rotating my quartz everyday pieces and keeping my newly purchased BLNR for best.
:) too right! Wonder if I could get my old Two tone rose gold turnograph back? ;)
Thats nice, liking that myself. What is it?

If it was money no object then this:
As a fan of vintage Omegas I’d pick up a few more nice examples, nothing super expensive, 50s and 60s Seamasters and Constellations are my thing.
I saw a lovely Rose Gold pie pan Constellation in Austin Kayes back in August, mint condition with original box and papers. Price was £4995......way overpriced but nice. If money was no object I’d walk in and buy stuff like that, but I’d still end up haggling!
Can’t say there are any mega-expensive watches I lust over, it would be more of the same for me.
Something from Zenith for me:

A 1st generation Universal Geneve Compur chronograph from somewhere between 1935 & 1936, probably with the wrong central seconds hand and a slightly patinated dial. From Italy.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Come on chaps, this is money no object, it has to be a Roger Smith for me.

I love how specific that is
If money were no object then a Royal Oak 41mm.
. . . my Tudor BBGMT back from Rolex before Christmas.

It’s been all about these for me lately, been seriously considering consolidating to get my hands on one

Well if that is the case I'll go the whole hog and ask for that Paul Newman Daytona.
Being a tad more realistic I would be very happy with a Smiths W10 or a Universal Geneve Unisonic "Buzzsaw".
One of Eddie's Air Ministry's would be warmly welcomed.
The list could go on but it is late and I am tired.
I think for me it would have to be this:
I'm not even a huge fan of the look and I hate Roman numerals on dials but to have a something like this, designed by George Daniels and built by Roger Smith, would be an honour to two true masters of their craft.
Okay then Santa, here you go...
Well, at least there are two of them now!Okay then Santa, here you go...
Oh, and Breguet; perhaps the greatest of them all along with John Harrison.

George Daniels? Looks more like something rattled off by Paul Daniels. It is undeniably ugly.
I deny it's ugliness.
Try turning the Daniels watch upside down, it looks like a sad face!
Ooh. Tricky one, this - certainly some vintage Omega: a Speedy Alaska, for sure. Also a (perfect, un-cracked) stardust dial Marine Chronometer...
Outside that particular box, I’d love one of the new GS Spring Drive Chronos - I found the first generation’s pushers just too challenging, but love the rest of the aesthetic...
I suppose it'd have to be something I'd never buy out of my own pocket even if I had the funds free
or
Someone here had a Ressence - not sure if you would classify it as having come out of his own pocket....
Doubt he still has it unless he's done a Christopher Walken
Yes, I was careful in my choice of tense. Crownless design would be beneficial for Walkening
I could watch the second hand spin on this all day long.
That foudroyant is on my list as well. I haven’t been that good this year though
For me right now it would be a Fortis Cosmonaut, one of the 38mm case Lemania 5100 versions from the ‘90s, or maybe even the Stratoliner predecessor.
Money no object then Roger Smith would be the order of the day. The series 1 would be the first look to at.

I prefer his to George Daniels.
cartier normale 30 by 23 created on the dot of the strike of New Year 1919...for me.
Now this George Daniels is lovely
