What is your New Years Watch Collecting Resolution?

[Watches24seven]

More watches or less watches? Quality over Quantity? More complicated movements or less complicated? New Brand, New Style of Old Brand? More accessories or less accessories? Get one back that you regret selling, Sell one you don't wear? Post more on a watch forum or continue lurking? Attend a watch gathering this year or start your own watch blog?

Or wait for the fiscal Cliff to shake out and then make a decision?

Happy New Years Everyone. May 2013 be a great one for all!

Thanks,
Bruce

I'd like to get at least one vintage Hamilton since as of now I don't have one yet. Also I'd like to only get about two watches this year.(let's see how long that resolution lasts)

[Dan Pierce]

More, more, more!!!!!

[zlin08033]

More watches(as always), quality over quantity, sell few I don't wear.

Hi, Bruce: Nice topic and nice chat with you few days ago about pam 382.

[toulouse]

Mine is to finally add a zero and enjoy what I have.

[brkanand]

One more ..what else?

[B. Doggy]

I'm considering adding a chrono to the collection, likely an AP. It will probably be my only addition in 2013. The remaining will be some new straps/buckles and probably a servicing of one.

[masterserg]

No more flipping. 2012 has been ridiculous!

[wingku]

I want to trade up my seamaster pro to a planet ocean!

[1675-David]

1655

[jvo300]

Focus on quality pieces that are more permanent to the collection. Try to narrow the collection down to under 10 watches. Happy New Year!!!!

[mfer]

No clue, but need to take it easy. I guess 2012 was a good year for me. Got a 390 and my pseudo grail 232 from a nice bloke.

Sadly probable no watches for me on 2013. Gonna do a move this year and double up on the house. I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through my friend's purchases! ;-)

You never know what will happen though. I did recently try on a Patek Nautilus this year. Wowza! I do love Panerai too much however. A 372 would be incredible. Maybe if I found one at a good price and my wife doesn't go crazy on the house.....ah to dream. SIHH 2013 is right around the corner however, so who knows, but who am I kidding.

I feel like I should try other brands more, but nothing gets me as excited as Panerai. My indefinite plan is to just keep buying modest pieces and one year maybe I can do a serious consolidation purchase for my true grail......3646. I'm at least a decade from that though. It wouldn't be worth it if it was easy I guess.

All said, I'm very happy and lucky though! I've wanted this one for 2-3 years now.


Good topic BTW.

After an active 2012, my New Years resolution is no flipping in 2013.

that should last just as long as my diet




patek + downsize

[seattle1978]

Mine is to add Lange, always wanted one but in 2013 should add one for sure.

[rockmastermike]

A submersible and maybe a rad. Maybe. But def a sub at some point in 2013

I love how you think! Dato or DS!

Me, I'm going to consolidate my collection a little.

[Tudor66]

(i) I would like a 1603 blue dial datejust to balance out the collection..,

and

(ii) Avoid the temptation of selling one of my submariners...,

[Travelller]

For 2013, either a 422, 345 or DSSD

[Andrés G]

No more flipping and adding a diver.

[Z-Sub]

Great question.

Now I've stepped out of the Rolex only collection, don't know what's coming next. AP ROO has been on my radar as well...

[Alcan]

Nothing carved in stone, but I'll consider every option as they surface.

[Milgauss J]

I really really really want to add a Patek. It's about time. I'll have to sell a lot of my collection though.

Your 232 would be on my grail list for this new year. Received my 372 earlier and want to get a gold hand Radiomir to complete my Panerai lust. Either a 232, 190, or 424?

[financeman]

Learn as much as I can about vintage subs and to add one quality vintage 1680 to my collection. If a few others slip in here or there that would be fine to.
What can I say, it's an obsession.
