what's your "on your radar" watch

What is your current "on your radar watch". Meaning, which Rolex are you thinking about a lot-- and it might end up on your wrist this year...

For me, the small, understated but interesting enough looking smooth bezel bulls eye dial Rolex datejust 116200 with the oyster band.

I own mostly sport watches, but this watch has always gotten my attention:

Well I won't be buying anything until, perhaps, my 50th. But I'm thinking of a TT blue sub. Although I'm still lusting after your rootbeer, Al.

That watch would look killer with a white gold fluted bezel.

BLNR, hopefully after Basel something will come out and drop the market a little, wishful thinking I know, but we all can hope! Just can't justify paying so much more for a little blue as much as I want to

The BLNR is definitely on my radar! Well actually, it's soon to be on my local aircraft controller's radar as well

I want to trade my 14060M for a brand new 114060

My current sub is in great shape but it was still used when I bought it, I would love to have the experience of buying a brand new one from my local AD (bought my wife's wedding rings there).

If I can wait another 6 months to a year I can buy it without having to get did of my current one so I think I'm going to hold out.

I want the Exp I. Love it's simplicity. However having just bought 2 a couple of months ago I don't think it will be this year.

Can't decide if I'm going for a Daytona or DSSD next. Got the BLNR in October (1st Rolex) so it's going to be a little while. Obviously will wait and see what happens at Baselworld, things could change. I put a DSSD on at my AD last week and have been thinking about it ever since. I'm a bigger guy with bigger wrists and I loved the weight and size of it. Especially the weight. I have dreams about owning it. Ridiculous.

Blue Snowflake. Of all my watch pursuits over the last couple of years, this one has been the most difficult to find in excellent condition.

I've been drooling over the gmt IIc lately. I recently purchased a smooth bezel DJII and I love it. I wear the DJII to work everyday, but have been considering a different watch for the weekend. My issue is that I have an 8.5 inch wrist. The DJ II looks great, because it's "dressier" if you will, and should look smaller imo. Thinking about trying the gmt IIc at an AD and contacting a TRF seller if it looks appropriate on my wrist.
