Be smarter about my purchases and hopefully consolidate, ie. bring the numbers down to a manageable amount. Happy New Year!

Buy at least 3 watches. Already one on order but I'm not sure if I will get it in 2011.

My New Year's resolution is to stop making New Year's resolutions and to enjoy life more. One way is to buy another Rolex!

2010 has been a fickle year for me with watches. I have not counted, but I think about 10 watches have been through my hands this year.

I'm hoping to be less fickle in 2011 and keep the collection simple.

I do not make New Years resolutions...to me they are a waste of time and effort. I'm happy with my two Rolexes and await the new year to see what it brings!!!

In a perfect world, I will be buying a second 16600 Sea Dweller (this time with lug holes). I would also like to add an Audemars Piguet and keep my relatively small collection lean and mean.

I'll try to be smarter about picking a watch in 2011. So far I only flipped 2 watches in 2 years, which is not a lot, but I'm already considering flipping 2 more. I'll try to slim down my collection, and be very-very careful about picking my next purchase. Ah, and I will try to buy only one watch in 2011 -- not sure if I could manage that though

Save a little each week & get a SS Submariner. Then I'll be happy. I hope...

Continue to add to my vintage collection. 2011 will be the year I add two: My big crown-hopefully a 4 line 6538 and also a 6241 Black 3 color Paul Newman. That is it--reaching high!!! Happy New Year all!!

I am going to buy a GMT II w/Serti in September 2011(business reasons for sept).
see the pic.
The Serti Sub, next to it, I plan on buying in Sept 2012.
The TT Sub is mins, I just put it there for the pic. My DD was there before I bought it this past Sept.
I wil probably pick up the DJ if he gives me the display case. ;)

Oh yea. He will not sell the Tudor.. It is a beauty..
