There are only two that are on my list right now I just got one of them a Aquastar Benthos 500 it's in the mail mite need a relume and other work.The other is a Eterna-Matic Super-Kontiki IDF issue large size not the remake I mite do a trade for one in Sept if the owner of the Kontiki don't change his mind he has one that needs work done to it before the trade so if I am lucky I will be done for a while I like the vintage one's they just got all the dive watch history behind them.

This is on my want list, just not sure when I will run across one used again. Passed on one about 18 months ago, and have been kicking myself ever since.

Omega SM300
Omega Seamaster Chrono "Big Blue" Ref 176.00004

My realistic short-term wish list:

Rolex SD (this one's coming soonish)

Long-term wish list (probably more like very, very long-term):

IWC Big Pilot
Tag Monaco Steve McQueen
Panerai
Rolex Milgauss GV
Rolex GMT Pepsi
IWC Top Gun Split Second
Omega Plo Prof (new one)

That's just off the top of my head.

That's why I have chosen to attack watchmaking full-force. I can wear PJ's all day and work on watches. :bananastoner:

And don't think that just because I'm a little tipsy that I missed your cross-dressing innuendo. :tap:

My goal is the Seiko MM300. Hopefully sometime next year.
Before I joined this forum it was the Sinn U1 SDR. That has now trickled slowly down my list.

Panerai 6152 (in my dreams)

Image


Tudor Blue Snowflake

Image





Modern

Lange 1815

Image

I can truly say I'm good. I am not seeking anything, not because 'm broke, but because I'm satisfied. I could always sell either SEAL or the PO to generate some scratch, but at this point that is not a consideration .

Ill play along though:
KORSBEK Recon GMT
Halios Puck
Rolex SD, Sub, or GMT circa 1974
AP ROOS Rubber Clad
"Men are ruled by toys"
Napoleon Bonaparte

Love this thread :thumbsup:

In no particular order, my list of 'wants' include the Kobold blue dial Seal w' date (if it gets released).

Image

One that I've always wanted... PloProf 1200M on orange rubber.

Image

Seiko SBBN021 black n blue diver!!

Image

And last but not least..... I still want a PAM 318 Brooklyn Bridge at some point (once the movement fiasco is sorted out) which I would get DLC'd in pencil lead grey.

Image

I'd need to rob a bank at some stage but I can dream can't I :lol:

Not if I beat you to one first :cussing:

Carib. GMT and an aquatimer of some sort are on the list as well
I have one coming in today, the Aquagraph that is. Found one in near mint condition on TZ, can't wait!

My short list as of now (none of which are imminent unless there is a sell off or some trading):

AP Diver (like Drew, I will need to try it at some point even though it is a heavy beast)
PAM 243 (love it, but not sure if I would actually wear it more than my PAM 24 due to the extra height and weight)
Rolex Sub C (should have one, but don't yet for some reason--oh yea, I have five other Subs)
Rolex Red Sub 1680 (too happy with my regular 1680 to pay 3K for a red line)
Rolex SD Great White 1665 (really, really want one of these, but 10K for a nice one gives me heartburn)
Jaeger LeColture Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy Seals (I know I would like it, but probably less than the BP and about the same as the GO; no brainer at 4-5K and no go at 6.5-7K)

I guess I got a real short list I am happy with that watches I have now because I just about knocked out the short list all ready.There are two I might go after one of these days the Heuer military issue bund chronograph,and a Rolex sub that could be ether vintage or new and possibly the GMT I will figure that out when I really want a Rolex.I got the money in the watch war chest but I just mite need that when I move to Montana.You notice I been selling a lot of watches but not buying any so I guess I am happy with the watches I call keepers that I will never consider selling.Have you notice the longer you collect watches your taste change from the lower end watches to the more expensive a few years down the road.
