What's next?
What's next?
Similar to Jae's regret thread. I'm always curious where people are heading. I thought I was content, but this week I moved two watches, in pursuit of another and also put a deposit down on another. What this should leave me is:
-Original Kobold SEAL
-Modern Kobold SEAL
-Rolex 1675
-Rolex 114060
-Omega 2254
Solid collection, but I'm not a collector. So, where will will this take me? What is next?
-IWC Big Pilot
-Bremont, various
-Omega PloProf
Images from google
I think I would prefer a vintage Ploprof.
What would I like to reacquire?
-Rolex 14060 (if this escapade ends up being a mistake)
So, where are you headed?

Re: What's next?
Three on my radar.
Sinn U1 SDR
Tudor Pelagos
Aegir CD-2
I'd love to see a U1 in person to see if I'm comfortable with the size. Hopefully there will be a Pelagos at a nearby dealer this fall to try, and all I've got to go by on the CD-2 is what I read, so that one might be a gamble. I need to move some stuff to make room anyway, so it will be a while till anything comes my way.

Re: What's next?
My want list seems to keep growing, but here's a handful near the top:
- JLC Deep Sea Chrono
- Sinn 142 Schwarz
- Panerai PAM 372
- Maybe a DOXA like the 1200T

Re: What's next?
Damn, I forgot the JLC NS Alarm. I don't miss the chrono at all, but I would love to try the alarm.

Re: What's next?
Sinn UX or Resco RC-TAC next for me....when the dust settles.
Just blew the cost of either one on a rare dial and complete service for the 666.
Down the road a GMT II.

Re: What's next?
These are pie in the sky right now but it's taken me two years or so to narrow down my grail list to four watches. It still means selling a Chronoswiss Lunar Calendar and a Sinn 757 UTC.
I haven't flipped to rent like a lot of guys here but my selections have been made based on multiple AD visits over time.
Dress Watch - JLC Master Grande Ultra Thin RG
Daily Wear Diver - Grand Seiko Spring Drive Air Diver SBGA029
Chronograph - Speedmaster Professional (already have this keeper)
Field Watch - Panerai Radiomir Black Seal 292

Re: What's next?
Immediate - 0-6 months & affordableish:
Sinn U2, know Zack has one at a killer price, but 0 watch $ right now.
Immediate -12 months bigger purchase:
PAM 25, 243 or possibly 29M, tend to lean towards GMT's
Certainly at the end of 2014:
216570 Noir.
We've had some major outgoings in the past 18 months. New house purchase, new pool & landscaping, and a few other large expenses coming in the near future. So the watch funds are very skint.
All of this has been for the better, but until a few things come to fruition business wise I'm currently holding off & I'm enjoying what I have watch wise right now.
Fortunately I'm getting my watch fix right here. Cheers Jules

Re: What's next?
Realistically (in no particular order):
PAM 305
PAM 285
Blacksteel Super Avenger
JLC NS Incursion Alarm (Adam C'Note I'm still tops on the list right?!?!?! )
IWC Top Gun Doppelchronograph 3799-01
IWC Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium
I really want to add a Deep Sea Sea Dweller to this list but I just can't get past that abomination of a bracelet.
The other list is way to long and too expensive and too depressing

Re: What's next?
Possibly one of the new Sinn 140's (if they ever get them out the door)
Re: What's next?
The S model and strap combo is hot.

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

Re: What's next?
I'm content with what I have, but I could see trading off the Bond SMP chrono and getting another Speedmaster. Part of me still wants another DOXA, and every time I look at those cheap Seiko divers I think about ordering one. I've had several and they are fun watches that scratch the itch and can be flipped easily.
Re: What's next?
Darin, go for the BP. Do it. If I recall you have wanted it for a long time.
For me, Rolex GMT ..... still.
I continue to wrangle with the choice of model - should it be a 16750 or 16710?. Today I lean toward the 16710, tomorrow who knows.
Realistically it has been a debate about if I want to spend the money or not, then boring reason drives away the desire
