Which watches are on your radar?

I have a small gathering of Rolex watches that I share with my twin brother. We have the BLRO, black Explorer II, Air-King (40mm) and a white Milgauss. We are going to do a little reorganizing and unload the AK and Milgauss, then we are going to add a Submariner. While I'm at it I'm going to see if my AD can get me a steel Daytona. They came through pretty quick on the Pepsi, so why not.

Other watches on my radar include:

Vacheron Fifty Six
JLC Master Control
Omega Speedy Pro
Omega Aqua Terra 150
Panerai Submersible
Polar Explorer II


Just curious which watches are on your radar these days.

First on my list is the Explorer, it just looks such a great watch I just have to have one. Next up would be an Oyster Perpetual white dial it just looks soooo cool and finally a Submariner ND because it is the Sub to have.

I am looking at a Junghans, Christopher Ward and a Lum-Tec. More budget watches but very interesting in their own right. And definitely good beaters.

The YM is easier to get so at the mom it feels like that would be the next one.

Need a white dial. Thinking OP39 (again and assuming I can add easylink) or a GS GMT.

I am actually wanting to consolidate, not expand my collection. But if I did...

I would probably pick up a TT Daytona black dial. I know I wouldn’t get a new SS Ceramic (1st preference) but I actually like the TT version of the Daytona.

I also would consider the new Cartier Santos.

interested in the new hacking seconds movement 5711, would probably never get one since I wont pay above retail. My 114060 and 116500 white get most of my wrist time and cover most situations so otherwise im pretty content right now and looking forward to the 2020 announcements in 6 months.

Radar indicates I'm still miles away from a new purchase. Drifting about somewhere in the middle of the pacific - where/if I make landfall, or if I sink and make no more purchases no one knows.
