I'd like a white gold president, but more likely to be a datejust of some sort. 40mm has started to wear large for some reason.

I'd like to think it'll be my 114270 Explorer, that way I'll have proved I can live with one good all rounder! I'm thinking I'll go 116234 DJ later in life but that'll be another 13 years after that.
Probably a diaper.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Smart watches will be interesting in 5 years time. At business school we had a (virtual) lecture from Andy Grove (CEO of Intel) who said when assessing any potentially disruptive innovation don't look at it today with its issues but apply the 10X rule so imagine size, battery life etc 10 times better and then you can decide if you should dismiss it as a threat, put it on your "watch list" or decide is a real danger.
Whilst I am today wearing a hand wound Schofield and don't own a smart watch I do wonder if that will be the case after they improve 10 X ?
Probably a 5 year old 2017 Omega (bought at haste post Baselworld).
That or a 'swiss made' apple mechanical moonphase watch (such brand history)
Under no circumstances will it be smart watch, or apple watch, hideous things that they are! Maybe IŽll trade my current collection for a gold Yachtmaster or something similar, or a Patek of some sort. Or maybe IŽll just Keep my Omegas and 16610 and be grateful.
I bought my SubC almost exactly five years ago, and it's still my daily to-go watch. I can't really see that changing in the next five years.
I always have more than one watch on the go, swapping between several utility quartz for work and a variety of mechanicals and fancy quartz for home. From my home desk there is usually at least three watches within sight or reach from which to tell the time. Of all these however, its my Seiko Solar Radio digitals which I instinctively turn to both for casual time checks and when punctuality is important.
So whatever happens, these two wont be far away.
SD of some description as they are all I currently own. Although a sky dweller is what I'm after long term.

My tastes and such havn't changed in over 10 years, so I predict little will change. My expensive watches were also bought as a means of tying up my cash and, hopefully earn me more interest than if I had put it in the bank (1 watch alone has appreciated in value in 1 year such that if I sold it I'd make over double the interest I've earned on Ł35k in 15 months).
So I think it'll be the SD and moonwatch for me :) Although you never know, there might be a royal oak added to the fold at some point.
Probably my Explorer. Timeless.
What you visualise in the future has a strange habit of happening so I'm gong to say AP Royal Oak 15202ST extra thin, or VC Overseas 40mm white gold, or PP Calatrava 5196 in white gold. You know, as a little treat after winning an Oscar. You could say you will be wearing the same watch you have now, but if that's your plan, you probably will be.
Not sure, but the list will include.

JLC Deepsea Legend.
Hopefully it will include a 18238 Day Date
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Very likely the same I am wearing now, my black on black Broadarrow PRS-4. With a bit more wabi. 😎
A Breguet Traditional, one of the grey/black ones mmmmmmm.

Definitely my Speedmaster. I was wearing it when my son was born 8 days ago (I'm stuck in hospital right now!) and it'll be all his when he's older.
As my current daily is an apple watch s2 already, I suspect i'll be wearing whatever 'smart wearable' is available (be it an apple watch s6 or apple glasses).
I would hope to have moved my traditional collection on from the seikos, bulovas and the like that currently sit in my watch box. I'd love to believe that I have a collection consisting of a couple of Grand Seikos, An AP Royal Oak and a PP Calatrava, but I doubt it. Maybe One of them.
I am impressed with Schauer and it is a shame the range is so small. He does advertise a few models on the Stowa site and here http://www.schauer-germany.com/en/kollektion.php
Pilotswatches.co.uk in Harbourne used to be an AD but no longer.
