I will have to be extremely lucky for this Kari.

And I also just added an MB&F x Emmanuel Tarpin Flying T to my incoming for my wife.

^^^ impressive, most impressive! Wife played with the MB&F Flying T in white gold with Malachite dial and it is stunning! The sun-shaped rotor is soooooo beautiful too. Congrats to you and your wife.

Look fwd to seeing your Kari V timepiece of course.

My wife makes me give up the LM Perpetual EVO allocation so she will agree to getting this piece. She said I was forcing her to get the Flying-T...

FPJ limited 1 piece per year, unfortunately, for now..

…so they say. ; )

BL Lune, Kari inverse, hope they will arrive soon.

[chalkflewup]

What I know is coming soon: JLC Polaris (green), a Ming I ordered last summer will arrive in the spring

What I hope is coming in '23: Polar Explorer II (seems to be a popular one on this thread) and an AP ROO

I thought all the Kari inverse pieces were all sold out.

Is there a 2.0 model coming ?????

He is just a very lucky guy in 2023 for getting a FPJ BL Lune and a special Inverse. ::

I hope his luck will extend to 2024 and get an even more special piece ;-)

[djnick]

Either a Laine triple guilloche or kari roma synergy depending on how my budget for the year is

Time to purge .

Same here! I got rid of the ones I never wore, and put money aside for either other watches I have been looking for that are coming down in price , or saving for the rainy days :)

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.

Nice! My approach as well.

My next special piece should be a Krayon anywhere. My favorite one.

[SoylentGreenChi]

I’ve reached a point where I am happy with my current collection and am not looking to add anything in 2023. If one of my trusty ADs calls with one of the impossible to get items on my list, I would buy a 5167a, 5712, or a SS Daytona. Additionally, if I find the right preowned 5107, I might bite.

But in 2023, my focus is on enjoying what I have.

Current pricing makes that 5170g tempting. European Watch Co. in Boston had a lovely example for well under 50k usd a couple months back and I almost went for it.

You can actually pick a favorite among BL Lune, Inverse and Krayon Anywhere?

My wife finally had a chance to try on the Flying T IRL here in Singapore and she loves it. I got to try on the Sequential and loves it even more now. Cannot wait for it’s arrival in 2H 2023.

If anyone wants to try on a lot of watches, Singapore will be the place. Many brands with display model to try out and the staff at every location are wonderful.

hahaha, aesthetically, I can't.

Besides BL Lune, they might share same character with my Vianney.

Just picked up the new IWC 43mm Pilot Chronograph on Tuesday. Probably good for now , but you never know . Happy New Year All .

[-dustin]

Want list:

Two tone GMT 116713LN
Or
Two tone SD 126603

Santos, white dial

Don’t know what it is about the steel/ yellow gold/ black dial look that does it for me, but those 2 are very high on the priority list.

[cornsyrup_bezel]

love seeing the amazing lists with expectation of receiving the piece!
my list
1. 321 steel
2. 116519
3. g shock tran trixxi

rest of my requests are pipe dreams...what i'll actually end up with, who knows! we need to come back to this list at the end of next year.

[llngoc]

Need to update my list since after the last post some "good" news happened:

FPJ Tourbillon Vertical
MB&F Flying T x Emmanuel Tarpin
MB&F Sequential
Patek 5740
Lange Little One Moonphase with Aventurine dial (I have had a blue dial Lange for 20+ years and my wife has been looking for a matching watch for 20+ years and it seem like this is finally happening this year)
VC 222
FPJ Elegante with 2 rows of daimonds (2nd Elegante for my wife )

Still crossing my fingers really hard for one special Kari Voutilainen

And I am definitely taking a break for 2024 after 2023
