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 ;)

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.

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

The only watch I am waiting on is the Tudor Pelagos 39mm. That may take some time. My AD has only seen one since it's release.

I left the corporate world in 2021 to start two businesses. I sold all of my watches except an Apple watch and a G-Shock. Now that I'm doing well and have more disposable income, I intend on building my collection back up. Here's what I'm looking to get in 2023:

- The new Breitling Super Chronomat B01 - AB0136, like the one that OCRolex Guy has for sale on the forum

-Omega Seamaster DIVER 300M Co-axial 42mm (I had 4 of them in different colors before I sold them)

Probably mostly sport watches now that I'm not having to dress up and go to an office. At some point, I will get an AP that I always wanted too. Maybe in a few years.

nice! i, too, am targeting a breguet marine, but I haven't yet decided whether to go with the 5817BR/Z2/5V8 (black dial in rose gold, big date) or the 5827BR/Z2/5ZU (black dial chronograph). Also, I'm thinking about picking up one of those new Breitling navitimer chrono's on bracelet, either the white with white sub-registers, or lime green with white subdials. I would also like to get one of the upcoming omega seamaster aqua terras in the new colors (either the saffron yellow or the terracotta red) if omega ever gets their crap together and actually starts putting them out. as for rolex, i'm currently marinating the idea in my mind, of raising funds via selling my oyster perpetual 36mm grape (116000) and explorer II polar (216570) so that i can feasibly add a rootbeer to the collection

Waiting for my Odysseus - hope it comes in June. Looking at GO Seventies Chrono as a possibility. Headed to NYC in December to do a little watch shopping...never know what may be of interest once you see a piece in person. Would love a Zeitwerk Date but have to sell a few pieces for that one.

Waiting for my Czapek Antarctique. That's about it. I'm pretty much tapped out unless I sell one of my existing watches.

Private school and private college means there goes my Patek 5905/1A-001.

JLC Reverso, and either a Datograph or Zeitwerk are on the wish list.

I'm pretty satisfied with my current collection, which is too large as it is, but I'd consider adding a couple Rolexes if offered from my AD (not likely). The only non-Rolex watches I have on my radar are the pistachio Breitling Premier B09, the Tudor Black Bay Chronograph reverse panda, and another Vacheron Historiques, which I'll probably pick up at a nice discount in quarter one or two of 2023 when the market will be quite soft.

Have a Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor, due in spring. Keeping my fingers crossed for a IWC Ingenieur Genta re-design, and on list for overseas perpetual calendar rose gold that might come to fruition in '23.

On the list for FP Chronometre Souverain, although I was told spring 24', hoping with things dying down I might see it sometime '23!

I sure do ….

Explorer II Polar Dial

I have expressed interest in a BLRO on Jubilee, but that's not going to happen since I got a BLNR at the beginning of this year.

5740 (It's been over 2 years by now and 2023 should be it)
MB&F Sequential
FPJ TV (crossing my fingers and will find out very soon)
VC 222

And if I am extremely lucky, a very special Voutilainen

And after 2023, things will quiet down and I need a rest :-)

This is more of a 2023-infinity list item but the 50th anniversary snoopy.

On a more realistic list is the Explorer II Polar

I thought the CO waitlist is as long as the RQ now? In any case, great news for getting any FPJ from the boutique these days.
