Purchase plan for 2023

[mikea]

Does anyone already have their 2023 watch pursuits lined out? This year I picked up a Cartier Santos Blue and Explorer 2 226570 Polar.

For 23’ I’m looking to pick up a White Skydweller and potentially a Glashutte SeaQ Panorama in blue

Interested in hearing acquisition targets from others

Studio Underd0g Mint Chocolate Chip & Desert Sky - March 2023 Delivery

FPJ Havana Lune - confirmed interest sometime in 2023

Hoping for VC Overseas Blue Dial -4500

JLC Reverso Duoface SS

[Fifteen]

Have a few APs on my wishlist, so whatever my boutique gives me. Hopefully at least a 30th anniversary ROO (if that happens) or a RO chrono

[Ichiran]

My wishlist for 2023 includes the RRCCII, 5231G and 5230P.

[Ny325]

Waiting for the 2022 Air King.

[huydoan]

waiting for 2-3 watches from contemporary independent watchmakers.

[ButtButt]

GMT-6 or VINGT-8, 5326G, SeaQ Panorama, and maybe a first AP

[ts3]

Mainly playing with preowned ideas...

- Lange 1 Darth
- Patek 3940P and 5110P
- IWC Ocean 2000 and 3531 Little Portugieser

Not sure anything will happen as I am quite happy with my small lot. If the AD came through with a 5740/1G I'd pick it up.

[HMHM]

Waiting for the call for a 116519LN or a 5811/1G….. so yeah, unsure if there’s anything coming next year

[Giangos]

VC WG ultra thin perpetual calendar and my first Patek.

And I wouldn’t say no to a Daytona on oysterflex, especially WG meteorite.

Any two of these would make a great watch collecting year.

I’m tapped out

[GolfJunkie]

I’m hoping to add a IWC 41mm Chrono and an Omega ‘57 Speedmaster

[mikea]

A lot of great “hopefuls” in this thread

Only through Q1 2023 as have custom orders coming our way for my Muse/wife and i (Laine and MB&F). From Q2 2023 onward we'll see what Breguet does for its anniversary... and of course new models when they're released.

[FrugalGreubel]

I’m actually selling off most of my watches to partially fund something in the future.

[beshannon]

I am always looking but there is little left that I can either find or want.

I am close to being done with watches

[BendyBee]

Waiting to pick up my grail in December this year. 2023 will be consolidating time selling a few with remaining 3-4 watches.

I hear ya! I recently unsubscribed from my watch YT channels in the hope of avoiding any temptation. I may have to quit looking at WRUW threads here as well.

My Sub 116610Lvc will eventually be sold to fund a different one as I get older; none of my heirs like it. :(

[PhilLynott]

Breguet tradition either 7079, 7597 or 7067 would love to pare down overall and turn a few existing watches into one of those.

[cvz]

Potential (AD's already aware and am working with SA's):
Rolex Explorer 2- Polar
AP RO 3-hand (15510)- White Dial

Unlikely (will add to AD wishlist)
VC RG Blue Dial Chrono
Rolex Daytona- Panda (would complete the Rolex SeAL collection )
Patek 5326g

I keep saying this (to)myself, yet keep not making good on the threat. I currently have no directly stated ‘23 plan, a real small interest list (at the moment), and yet none of this has impeded the collection to date.

[londonpilgrim]

5327G, white dial Daytona should come through finally as should my Laurent Ferrier Auto Sport... anything else would be gravy.

[GB-man]

I want a Journe centigraphe S but am told 2024. Maybe people will bail and I land one 2023 but I have some doubts given the relatively low production.

[Jmaster]

Waiting for a VCO and a Ming

[Yobrooks]

Finally expecting my Grönefeld Principia after a 2 yr wait. Hopefully, a pp 5226 if I get the call, if not, a GS spring drive snowflake.

Already pre-paid for (to lock in price) but expecting my Zeitwerk Date in mid-2023. Aside from that, hoping for a Blue Skydweller, Patek 5205r and get allocation of a 34mm AP for wife.
If there is a macro slowdown, it will be interesting to see what else becomes available and how often the phone rings with potential watch allocations ;)

[thekman]

This year I had two main targets: a Daytona on OF and a 50th anniversary RO. Both were successfully obtained after a long wait.
Main target for next year is a Jumbo. Big ask but SA said that it was possible. I am sure many other minor purchases, sales and consolidations will happen along the way.

VCO or Czapek, but unsure who'll come through first.

[razzledazzle]

I am most likely getting a Breguet Marine 5817 BR and a vintage Day Date or Datejust with a stone dial (most likely Onyx)
