What's next?

[marchone]

All I have coming up is paying to service a few watches

+1

[stumpy1972]

Maybe one of those DAGAZ Typhoons when they come out

If the budget ever opens in the future...

Another Certina DS-3
Another Doxa 750T Searambler
Another Kobold SOA
PAM000

Until then they are just a distant dream

Breakfast.

[rain_maker]

My short list, in no particular order ...

Bremont Supermarine 


Sinn UX


SAS Air

[fastward]

I'm in no rush, but I have my eyes on a Bremont (U2 or ALT1) or a Gramd Seiko GMT.

[demer03]

I have no idea....

Perhaps a Speedy Pro?

[marchone]

From photos I thought the Bremont Supermarine was too busy. Once I had one in hand that changed. It's a very well balanced design.

[Zidane]

Here's my list - I'll likely get one by the end of the year. Who knows what 2014 holds?
- Speedmaster Pro
- Rolex GMT Master II...haven't narrowed it down to which one
- Omega PO....again, up in the air versus 2500 or 8500
- IWC 3717

[marchone]

That's a nice list.

[fastward]

I have no idea....

Perhaps a Speedy Pro?

Another gaggle of Doxa?

[RALAustin]

Nothing immediate, but have been eyeing the following (several are new models):

Panerai 512
Blancpain Bathysphere
Omega PO 42mm ti/blue dial
JLC Deep Sea Chronograph
MKII Nassau
Something smallish in bronze

Funny you should post this because I don't buy very often but have a new one hitting today (per FedEx, it's somewhere in my building making its way to me). Some of you are probably going to think I'm nuts when you see what it is.

Recently sold my Exp II 16570 (sorry Wu). Great, comfortable watch, but always lost out to the SD or the Speedy Pro. There was just no need to keep that much money tied up in a watch that I wasn't wearing, so off it went and I used the proceeds to fund the new one and put some money in the bank for upcoming home repairs.

Thus, as of today, my list is:

- Sea Dweller
- Speedy Pro
- Datejust
- New, to be revealed mystery watch
- Timex Expedition for the gym, lake, etc.
- Crappy Movado "museum watch" that needs a new battery (anyone want it? )

Thus, I have four that I wear on a regular basis plus a gym watch. Not sure what else I'd go for but, barring an unexpected change in financial circumstances, it would have to involve liquidating one or more of those four. That would be a hard sell for me.

Always have my eye on a vintage Rolex piece (either a Sub or a GMT of some variety), or maybe a more modern piece like a Sub-C or, if a windfall really came my way, a Daytona or Deepsea.

only one that is a sure thing (i think) is this as my 10th anniversary present...



but then I see a picture of a Striking 10th and i pull the reins back...

I am so in flux right now this thread and the regrets thread might push me over the edge.

I have been giving this some thought and I will wait to see what is next for when Zack opens his safe or goes to the safety deposit box again.

He has been quiet on the SF so I figure either he is on vacation or lost the combo to his safe.

[koda240]

Damn, I forgot the JLC NS Alarm. I don't miss the chrono at all, but I would love to try the alarm.

YES! Forgot this one too. I want that watch bad

[kfalk]

Damn, I forgot the .............................

Coming back here to see you fill in the blanks is worth the price of admission.

That's what is making the thread for me as well, Barry.

Breakfast.

May seem trivial, but here at the Bar Harbor Inn you can order lobster with your Eggs Benedict.

[craniotes]

In the short-term I'm looking at the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue, which will probably require a sacrifice on the part of my titanium AT 2000, but other than that I'm holding steady. Anything else is too damn expensive.

What movement are Tudor using in that chrono?

That's a tough call there. Didn't you sell a Ti AT once and really regret it? Just a friendly reminder, if that's the case. I distinctly recall you making a concerted effort to rebuy that one. I'm biased, of course, being a sucker for the dual crown ATs. ;-)

I hope you will able to tough it out

Again, enjoy the getaway.

It's a 2892 with a chrono module from Dubois Depraz.

In a perfect world I'd just throw down my card and get the Tudor without a second thought, however that ain't happening this time around. And while I do love the AT 2000, I find that I'm reaching for the Galapagos first, to say nothing of the FC Diver, NSA Incursion, etc... As for the Tudor, all I can say is that I'm in love and the price is right. ;-)

Thanks.

I wonder why most people are thinking of getting watches that are more and more expensive...

There are thousands of watches out there, many under $500 and yet it seems that one tends to get the $x,000 watch. Is there no love for more affordable ones?

Or is it that in order to get the best one has to spend several thousands of dollars?
