Which ones are on your "list?"

[lndshark]

I'm sure this has been posted before but I'm new to the forum, and I'm sure there are other new members since this was posted. What are the watches that you have on your realistic (Ha! Ha!) wish list? I'm not talking about Grail Watches, but which watches do you desire to have, whether to wear or collect and why?

At the moment (note the disclaimer ) I have my 5513 which I will never sell. I wear it every day. That being said, I wouldn't mind another (newer) watch for daily wear.

I have a handful of watches on my wish list. In no particular order, here are mine:

1. A newer Sub, most likely a 16610LV. I love the Maxi Dial and green bezel.

2. A vintage Tudor Sub. Snowflake? Not sure one is in my budget, but in my mind, this is a true tool watch (not that I'm a diver, but...). I think the tall crystals are neat.

3. Air King. Simple, clean, functional. A great watch to wear daily. The tough part for me: would be which dial to choose?

4. GMT (I). Not sure which model...I'm still new to the idea but additional hand is so cool and like the Submariner, has a wonderful heritage.

5. A Tudor Chronograph, again, stainless. A 79260P with a white dial. Why? I just like 'em.

So let's have some fun with this! What watches would you like to have? Feel free to critique my choices as well.

If it's made with Roman Numerals, I will buy a YG Sky Dweller when released here in the US. Otherwise, my DDII is really the only Rolex I desire.

[Rollie2011]

Im deciding on either a white/silver dial Rolex.

After that im done

I'm not too happy that my list is growing and growing. I got the Hulk 2 weeks ago which was a toss up. Now list includes, in current order of desire:

1. GMTiiC
2. White Milgauss
3. Stainless Daytona
4. TT Datejustii with Green Markers
5. Stainless Yachtmaster

[Rsvrider]

1) 1655 Explorer orange hand Steve McQueen (looking for my birth yr)
2) Fat Lady Rootbeer TT on Oyster (don't like jubi) great desert watch
3) Meter First on NATO or Feet.Love the acrylic and the patina
4) Double Red SD it's just the ultimate diver
Not so into the new watches.

No real list--one watch at a time as I go. I see something I really want- I get it.
My wife thinks I have enough already though--I think she is wrong.

Same here. I think my wife is getting to that point but there's still a fair way to go ... !!!

X2.

Problem is, there is nothing I really want, and the one I really want (a Platinum Daytona) isn't available yet...

[WhatTheDeuce]

My list is influenced by others here on TRF.

- Ken's JLC
- Dan's GMT on the Super Jubilee
- Dr. JBA's DDII (or some variation)
- YG SKD (or RG if they offer it with a bracelet)

I think this is enough, though there are probably some others.

[SaddleSC]

WG Sky Dweller
TT Yachtmaster II 116681
WG Submariner 116619LB
Platinum or WG 36mm Day Date Glacier Dial
TT Submariner 116613LB

[gwalker]

No Rolexes I want right now used or vintage except the WG SubC or GMTII C YG with green dial. That said my next purchase since I'm going to spend $20-30k is going to be an AP. AP ROO Chrono here I come!!!!! I can't justify a Rolex when I can pick up the AP for about the same price.

You could always settle for the new rainbow gem version

[Zed Homme]

Wg sub
Ceramic Rg Daytona
Sky dweller

They're the rolexes I want, I have most of the SS ones. Honestly, I love my ap and really want a breguet. I'm off the Rolex kick for a while.

Understandable mate...You've already got a killer Rolex lineup IMO!

Breguet has some wonderful pieces. When you're in Vegas next month, check out the watch store across from the Rolex boutique in the Wynn. They had some top line models last time I was there!

What are you guy's going to do when that one day comes along, and they say, "No"??

[Dan Pierce]

Nothing presently on my radar. Just enjoying the current lineup.
dP

[kjp1]

1. Explorer II in black 40mm
2. Hopefully by the time they hit dealers I will be able to justify the new DJ II with smooth bezel in the silver dial!

[LightOnAHill]

IN this order:

1. YG Daytona Champaign or White dial, sticks. Maybe diamond upgrade later so I keep glow on hands.

2. Hulk. Totally sweet, sweetness beyond sweetness. And, green is my favorite color.

3. WG DDII.

4. TT YM

5. ss DJ silver diamond dial

6. YG GMT all diamond dial . . .

[TakesALickin]

Would still love:

a Tudor Rose sub
a Heuer Autavia chrono
a Heuer Super Professional diver
a Citizen 1300 ti ProDiver
a Seiko 62mas

Let me say that you are a very luck man Sir! Not for the beautiful collection of fine timepieces that you own but more for the wonderfully understanding wife that you have

Something in 18k is on my list. Perhaps a sub or a gmt, we will see what the future brings 16618 maybe

[inLine4]

16613LB & 16710 Pepsi are the ones I'm lusting for.

[snaggle]

Right now - options for next watch would be either to Sell my SS sub and get a TT black face sub - or keep the sub and get a YG GMT II :D

[FeelingTheBlues]

Well I must say all the Rolex I could buy are still grails because I'll have to save quite a lot to buy them but in the "potentially affordable" section I'd put those ones:

- YG Day-Date
- TT GMT-II
- SS/WG Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase
- TT Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece
- SS/PLT Yacht-Master (if not a TT model)
- SS Explorer-II white dial (as surprising as it is, it went from the watch I really don't like to the watch I'd gladly wear)

Not sure--revert to what I did when I was 5 years old?
