Too many. But after Basel, the list may grow even more.

Nothing expensive, a Seagull 1963 chinese airforce watch and a Laco luftwaffe fliegeruhr.

Waiting for Basel. If nothing interests me then the Omega Dark Side of the Moon or the Lunar Dust.

I am working on a custom RGM 801 and waiting for my Patek 5575. Spoke to the AD and I have been assured Patek has my name and will be sending it by February. Great watch year ahead!

Was set on a SD4000 but already got a GMT2C and can't help thinking they're similar. Never really warmed to the Explorer but lately can't stop looking at the Polar!

We'll see what Basel produces, but probably a Speedy, DJII, or IWC.

I already have my next three pieces planned out and in the works.

I am also contemplating a few trades or a cash deals in exchange for one or two pieces from my collection, but I am so perplexed on whether I really want to sell or trade one piece because it is such a rare beauty, and the other piece I don't think I am going to part with at the moment. It is giving me agita....

I have "orders" in for 5131G, 5575G and 5975P - as I write today, all are looking decidedly unlikely. Also still hankering for a Datograph Perpetual in Platinum and the Platinum ROO Tourbillon Chrono. RG RM011, probably the UTC version, would then be next. Will then be selling some pieces I suspect to keep the collection tight.

In conclusion, it will be another hugely busy year!

If I'm lucky some sort of Patek, hopefully with a chronograph, otherwise a Calatrava.

I'm hoping to get one of these this year:

- Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial
- Zenith El Primero 38mm
- AP Royal Oak 15202ST "Jumbo"
- Platona ( <-- this one is more of a grail, not a realistic plan)

Patek only, but possibly an RM, and/or possibly Platona.

depends on how much I can save:
under $1000: Hamilton on Christopher Ward
~$2000: Longines Legend Diver
~$3000: Omega Speedmaster or Tudor BB
~$6000: Grand Seiko, Zenith 36,000 vph
~$10,000: BP Bathyscaphe, JLC Geophysics
Win the lottery: PP Aquanaut, AP 15400

Probably others I'm forgetting, haha. In reality all these are probably a few years away anyways, and I'm sure will change.
