What's on your wish list?

My top three are...

1) Tag heuer Monaco CAW211B

2) Rolex "hulk"

3) JLC ulta thin moon

Suspect the first two will wear too big for me but need to try!!!

bbbbb · 12-05-2017 10:27pm

Too many !
3 that come to mind

1 grand Seiko GMT

2 breguet type xx

3 azimuth mr roboto!

G rock · 13-05-2017 6:11pm

I have a real hankering for a Sinn 103, or a 756.

Hopefully not too unobtainable sometime in the future!

Lorddrakul · 13-05-2017 7:55pm

I would very much like a Breitling B1

b-1.face-front_small.jpg

But also

An Omega Moonwatch:

Wibbs · 13-05-2017 10:20pm

TBH within my very meagre budget I've kinda covered the bases at the moment, though if more moola were in play, I'd love...

Omega Marine Chronometer

A Zenith Cairelli

Zenith_A_Cairelli_Chronograph_AS01617_2_grande.jpg?v=1471967837

Though I have a Heuer Bund so would be in two minds TBH.

Longines Nonius Flyback

Longines Czech pilot

And I had one, an early one too. Dumbest sale I ever made.

Longines Chronometre

Mad rare and IMH blows similar Pateks out of the water.

Eoin · 13-05-2017 10:40pm

Mine keeps changing, but I think it's a Rolex Explorer II in black, a Tissot Squelette and a Tudor North Flag.

Passenger · 13-05-2017 10:47pm

Rolex Daytona Cosmograph with Black ceramic bezel

1. Rolex Sea Dweller
2. Glashutte Original Sixties
3. AP Royal Oak
4. JLC Navy Seal
5. Any McGonigle watch!

That is it. Not getting all Patek yet, maybe as I get older.

Bluefoam · 14-05-2017 1:36pm

IWC Big Pilot
IWC Portugieser Chronograph
Panerai Radiomir
Zenith El Primero
Moser & Cie

I currently rock a Tag Heuer Monaco, IWC Aquatimer Chrono, G-Shock & a couple of Tissots... I don't want to be a collector, just someone with some nice watches that I enjoy... I have no interest in flipping watches.

Looks like I need something with a bracelet strap in there too... will have to think about that one.

Bateman · 14-05-2017 2:03pm

Next up a G Shock of some description, and a black Speedmaster

Ionised · 14-05-2017 2:44pm

Always had a yearning for a Seiko Cocktail Time and have just been reading a Worn and Wound article on the new versions released under the Presage line.
Noice!

Oafley Jones · 14-05-2017 3:44pm

With the exception of the Bauhaus style watches, my tastes are all over the map. I've gone from Fliegers to Divers, to vintage Rolex.. even G shocks with the most garish of designs. Fortunately my (lack of) funding means I've plenty of time to dial into something more concrete.

I constantly come back to the Zenith Big Date Pilot.

Always dismissed Rolex. Memories of 80s Arseholes and old Fellas with Bi-metals poisoned my image of the brand. But I have to say their vintage stuff is lovely. There's a balance that has been lost with the newer larger designs, particularly the maxi case subs. I can even get past the cyclops now. I'd love a grey dialed date just.

Also, the Oytersquartz keep grabbing my attention...

Although If you put a gun to my head now it'd probably be a polar explorer 2.

Picking up a 5610 G Shock has me looking at some stuff I'd always dismissed as gaudy and cartoonish. Keep staring at these..

art · 16-05-2017 8:42pm

I've had a hankering for a few different watches, that then faded, but a constant one had been for the max bill chronoscope (and despite my also declaring elsewhere I wouldn't buy more mechanical watches!)

Junghans new-ish Meister Pilot is probably my most up to date fancy...

A Meistersinger would be the third on my list then. I'm not completely settled on exactly which model though, but it will inevitably be something like this

bogmanfan · 17-05-2017 11:40am

If I stick to the achievable, and skip MB&F, Urwerk and others that I'll never be able to afford, then these 3 are in my sights at the moment. All pretty high RRP, but the more interesting stuff always sinks like a stone, so all are possible at under €5k used.

1. Corum ti-bridge

Bateman · 17-05-2017 1:39pm

I have finally seen a Richard Mille that I like…although pictures is as close as I’ll ever get to it

Darwin · 17-05-2017 9:16pm

While definitely not everyone's cup of tea, I would love one of the special edition BRM chronos, something like the Gulf T12:

Would settle for this Oris either:

I've just pulled the trigger on a Stowa Marine Classic w/ Date. :eek:

If I'm not buried under the patio shortly after it arrives, I'll post pics.

I've wanted one for about 4 yrs now, and finally did the deed.

I'm thrilled at the though of finally owning a watch that has wooed me for some time.

(I'm also fairly sure that the Mrs will flip her lid - hence the patio reference!)

This is top of my shopping list at the moment, i've been on the lookout for something for a while now and keep coming back to this. I'll give it 3 or 4 months to see if the prices drop another 1K or so, if not i'll buy at the current rate.

Oafley Jones · 28-07-2017 8:37pm

I have to say I find the larger Rolex divers to much more proportionate than the 6 digit Subs and GMTs. The lugs just look ridiculous on them and ruin a classic design for me. Things do seem to be moving the right direction though. The Seadweller, although larger, looks great. The daydate 40 and datejust 41 are an improvement on the previous bloat. Unfortunately I can't see them introducing a more slimmed down maxi case any time soon.

Wibbs · 28-07-2017 10:18pm

I dunno what it is with me and god knows there are more than a few 'its" with me, but I just can't deal with Mercedes hands. There, I've said it. The dislike that dare not speak its name.

My fave Rolex(sport models anyway) would be the issued Rolex MilSub.

And if my ship came in would be about the only Rolex I'd jump at* For me it looks sooooo much better with the Omega hands(and fully graduated bezel). I'd add that to my Wishlist alright.

*outside of some early Oysters and some steel cased "dress" watches from the 50's. Our own Carltonbrowne has a real beauty I was lucky enough to see in the flesh.

CarltonBrowne · 29-07-2017 8:58am

Top of my list would have to be this:

_img.png?ixlib=rails-1.1.0&auto=format&ch=Width%2CDPR%2CSave-Data&fit=crop&fm=jpg&q=55&usm=12&w=700&

The last one of these went for $150,000 at auction so it's going to take one hell of a fleamarket find to get near it. A blue-dial Oysterquartz is more achievable.

IMG_8435.JPG?format=750w

I'd also like a PP 3580 but it would have to be a blue-dial on a bracelet and without the ball-pein hammer finish and I'm not even sure that they made one of those.

Jawgap · 04-08-2017 6:56am

Would love to get a 1967 Speedie, but the prices have jumped a lot in the last few months......second on my list would the the re-vamped Skywalker Speedie.....(yes, I know it's a quartz!).......
