A vintage 5513 with as creamy plots as possible, once my funds have recovered from the SD and 16750 purchase! I've lusted after a Great White for a while but can't justify that cost on 1 watch!
Interested in what people are eyeing up next? Up down sideways new old, lets share.
My collection has been all over the place recently, from all modern to more vinatge. I then added the much needed dress watch and now am thinking of focusing to a theme, like divers or chronos.
What plans over the year do you guys have?
Cheers

My hit list in order of priority:
- Zenith El Primero 'New Vintage 1969'
- DN GMT
- Longines Chrono 13zn
- Milgauss GV
- Something Smart/Dressy
Boom!
The new SBBN 014 ceramic 7c46 tuna
Montblanc Rieussec Chronograph as soon as I can find one.
At the moment looking for a mint TAG Heuer 2000 Classic with black dial, WK1110. Was my first decent watch, sold it long ago, regretted it right after selling it, and now back in the market for one just for old times sake and before they all 'dry up'.
A Seiko SBDB005 (when in stock) and a PD Ocean 2000 (when the right one comes along).
I'm not allowed to get any more watches until I've offloaded this old tat ......... anyone want to buy a watch ;)
PRS22 GMT
Dreadnaught GMT
Stowa Marine Chrono
Lastly possibly a salvage of a vintage Valjoux movement from a horrible case fitted in a new case with dial and hands of my choosing, all unbranded but the look I want.
Which will take me to 19
Been saying I'll try and get a DN GMT, but it will depend on the price and if I can get lucky enough to get one if I decide the price is right!
I keep being tempted by TAG Heuer Monacos though - I feel I really should try one on sometime, but fear that might be it!
M.
Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
My aim was to get to three, which I have.
Smart daily, casual/tool daily, top end quartz.
An 8" telescope.
I also have this lot squirrelled away for Birthdays and Christmas.
Precista Gold Plate Pocket watch (Birthday)
PRS20 Full Lume (Birthday)
YK1060 Ingersol pocket Watch (Christmas)
1991 military issued Precista stop watch (Christmas maybe)
Not sure if I can keep this one, and the Heuer.
I'm pretty settled with the motley crew below. The JLC being last to arrive and ticking the "dress" box. For the first time in a long time, I find my head NOT being turned by the watches that I see here. Not sure how long that will last.
Sounds like a very sensible plan...what are they?
I've recently sold my Aquanaut and Speedy, and am looking to sell my Reverso too. I'm thinking about going for a Rolex Subc to start again with. After that I may add something smarter as well.
So the plan is two good watches plus my Casio F91 gym watch!
My first Rolex. I still can't decide between 14060M and 114060 though...
1680 or 70s tudor sub. boring choice isn't it :-)
My three are a Tudor Pelagos (the toolish one), love the titanium and wear exclusively on bracelet, a Cartier Santos XL (the smart one), worn on alligator and an X33 (the quartz one) for its functionality, worn on whatever I fancy (Nato, rubber, bracelet, Velcro GGB, but mainly Nato).
The last of the 'spares' is to be posted to its new home in the morning. Some I've sold, some I've given to friends, some I've lent long term to friends.
I ordered a Stowa Ikarus a week or so ago which I should have at the end of November and while I wait for that to arrive I fancy getting a Precista PRS-18 Automatic, so that should be my next watch
Would love to get the mm300, I thought that with the Tuna I would have enough, but I was obviously wrong, specially after seeing the pictures in some of the threads on here
Aquastar Benthos....and I have one in my sights!
Well the funds are a little depleted having recently picked up an IWC Ingy whilst on holiday. So my fist task is sell a few which fits in quite nicely with a desire to get the collection down, in stages, to about 12.
However the next two additions will be an IWC 3536 and a Pam 337. Hopefully..............
I want an Omega Seamaster next.............have to sell one or two first though! so my Tag and my Longines on the chopping block as we speak! lol!
Two more Stowas ordered a while ago, due for delivery in the next couple of months.
Plus, the Nomos Orion which has caused such controversy on another thread today, and I'm also becoming quite interested in getting a Helson Skindiver on mesh soon.
I have a hankering for a birth year watch ('83). Not overly picky what it is in all fairness! Trying to steer clear of Omega- only cos I have too many already
In an ideal world it'd be a GMT or a Navitimer.
Next on my list is a DSSD. I had to sell my last one to help fund my house move so I'm really looking forward to getting another now it's all over! I also really fancy an Orient 300m after seeing the thread on here earlier!
Hi
Possibly an original Speedmaster 2915....
which would result in the Seamaster 2913 having to leave....
Best - Neil
Speedy 2915! Awesome, you have great taste sir.
That choc dial one on here a little while back got me keen, I was at reading festival at the time and trying to bid, lucky for me the Internet on my phone wasn't good so I was out else I would have been in trouble. Beer (lots) and good music equals need to buy lovely things.
I can't get this one out of my mind...........(but cannot find any for sale as they are LE and sold out)
I would also like to try the Pelagos.............
But when one of these pop up for sale at a more reasonable price I would snap it up
Speedy Pro which I hopefully buy tomorrow. Then I would like a Rolex LV as I like the greeness. I would like to try a Pelagos but fear I would prefer my SKX007 to it.
As usual, things will no doubt change.
Speedbird GMT is my main want and a G Shock of some description that is bound to take my fancy.
Next up would be a Panerai, probably just a base model, the one on SC at the moment has caught my eye....

5512 or 5513 would be very nice but I have enough watches on my hands at the moment, plus four or five in need of work/restoration.
"A man of little significance"
Rolex GMT 11C 11671OLN
But need to save some pennies

IWC 3536 Ti - not in great supply mind.
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
This.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Speedy mk II is most probably next, just waiting for the right one.
Others I would fancy
Autavia Viceroy
SD
Could also be tempted by a sub ND or a nice datejust
One at a time, one per year max, and depending on other investments and hobbies...
Next one is a Speedmaster chrono, 176.007. Unless a nice hummer find me first.
I'd like to take advantage of an off-SC deal by one of the forum greats but I'm not in a position to just yet...
Meanwhile, looking (much) further ahead, a Sapphire Sandwich would be good.
I've been trying to decide between the Milgauss GV or the black face. I like both and tried both on but it didn't help.
May have posted on this so excuse me.
As the dexterity in my hands is not what it used to be, plus I am in a Place people are not used to Handling expensive watches
I am looking at a few high end quartz. However maybe one more mechanical maybe?
Paul
GOT...TO...KILL...CAPTAIN STUPID!
Good question Kash....
Matte dial 16660, gilt dial 1016. And then I am done. Maybe!
Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver Titanium SBGA031

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Quite fancy a Cartier Santos 100 XL as my next purchase
Either.......
A Damasko DC67 Black
Or ....
Another Rolex - White faced Daytona or Explorer II
Or ...
An outside runner - an AP of some sort - possibly the Safari or the Diver.
