The watch you desire most.............
Hi Folks
Anybody who likes watches will have one that they desire to own the most. I have an Omega Speedmaster Pro moon watch, a Rolex Sub, one Doxa, three Sinn's, one Tag Heuer and a few Casio G shocks. I would sell my entire collection for just one watch. That watch would be an IWC Portuguese 7 day with a silver plated dial, blued hands and blue applied markers on a blue gator strap with a signed deployant clasp. The watch measures 42mm and uses IWC's caliber 51011 automatic movement. This is an absolutely stunning watch and I would like to own one very much. At $13.6k(stainless steel)I'm afraid it will remain a dream. |

I am pretty much satisfied with my somewhat common collection of daily timepieces: SS Rolex Daytona, Rolex Sea Dweller, and Omega Seamaster Diver (James Bond). Oh and somewhere in a drawer is a beautiful Rado Ceramica.
There are so many beautiful watches with interesting complications out there. I'm sure some day I'll get the bug again, but upgrading audio is my current money pit.

I'm happy with my collection as well, but I'd always love an AP Grand Prix Carbon.

You can find it on the used market now ? The only watches of my collection who were bought new are my first one, a Rolex Date that my mother offered to me when I was 18, and a Blancpain that I bought a few years ago. My Tag Carrera, Rolex GMT and very recently my AP were all bought used but in mint condition with papers and boxes. My pleasure of wearing them is the same as if they were new.

I really like this Rolex, but exactly this Rolex (photo doesn't do it justice)! I have not worn a watch since I tried it on and I am waiting until I can afford one before wearing a watch again

My next, hopefully in February, will be the Glashutte panomatic inverse. Love it. Got a Brequet marine chronograph in rose gold earlier this year. Still in honeymoon phase with that one. image-4003380082.jpg

There are so many watches I desire but if I had to pick one, it'd be the Lange Zeitwerk Striking Time.
It was love at first sight with this watch but at close to 100k€ this will remain a dream. Slightly less expensive, you have the perpetual calendar 5140 by Patek So cheap, it's almost free at 45k€ the Vacheron double retrograde The most outside of the box thinking, the HYT H1 with liquid system The one I hope will be my next one. The Jaeger Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. The most "affordable" perpetual calendar even Patek salesmen are amazed. |

I can quote a hundred more watches I long after
Jérôme, I've noticed your new AP but didn't want to say anything. It is a very beautiful timepiece. Congratulations my friend ! |
