While waiting for a polar Explorer II or Air-King, I picked up a Speedy Pro (hesalite) and absolutely loving it!

I’m still on the list for the Air-King and Explorer II. I’m hoping to get one this year. I’m also really interested in a Seiko SLA043 and a Black Bay Pro!

I’m not loving waiting on my next Rolex, but I’m really enjoying other brands of late.

Current collection

I’m currently waiting on 2 Rolex (OP36 Turquoise and BLNR Oyster) and 2 Omega (Silver Snoopy and Ed White 321). I suspect I’ll be waiting a while which is fine assuming they’re not quickly discontinued!

Your collection is refreshing with the absence of Sub/GMT/SD!

Baume et Mercier Clifton with 5 day power reserve.

Short term: BLNR. It is seemingly the most difficult reference to find via an AD. I've only seen the Oyster version once in real life, either at an AD or during my travels. Just saw a review from the initial release in 2013 and even back then it was not readily available, the grey markup was about 20%.

Looooooong term: Daytona (ha ha!)

Thank you! I like all of those references from afar, but I’ve always preferred the Explorer/Explorer II range. My brother wears a Submariner and it looks great, I just like other models more.

That Clifton looks awesome. I’ve never seen this one before!

Ahhhh, you're right-ish, tho Willy Wonka is no joke as without a doubt he's a truly brilliant man! If he was to wear a timepiece.....

I prefer the original movie, tho always enjoyed this scene too.

So, who is Willy Wonka the amazing chocolatier?

Ok, a bit dodgy in the middle but that finale, WOW!!!

Lamontsanders · 25 June 2022, 08:27 AM

326939 black dial (own the black SS…but who cares I like them both)
16520 in white
116519LN silver dial (long way away)

About to move like 5 watches out.

Epanerai12 · 25 June 2022, 08:41 AM

Also digging the Breitling Datora.

I saw the copper dial in person recently. It is a damn good looking watch. I'm loving the new direction Breitling is going in. I was really torn between the new Navitimer and the Speedy Pro. The price difference was heavily in the Speedy's favor.

Well done Steven! And this would definitely be his watch. Very interesting watch indeed.

Cory. · 25 June 2022, 09:14 AM

Although not much to alot of folks here, to a plain jane G-shock guy like me, a stainless sub date would be awesome. With the newer kermit being a grail watch.

I'll have to save for a few years, and probably finance it. It would probably be my only watch.

DoctorsOrders · 25 June 2022, 09:14 AM

I’m religiously bugging my SA about a Daytona! The new Air King has kinda caught my eye though I must admit

WilsdorfNDavis · 25 June 2022, 09:22 AM

Waiting for Tudor to release a white dial Black Bay Pro somewhere along the lines of this quick and dirty photoshop (the hands and indices should be black but i was being lazy):

Just wanted to say I walked into an AD back in 2014 after a no date sub… and walked out with a BLNR… they had 2 in stock!

If I could find a deal on there 037 I'd be all about it. I prefer it over the 043, but not a couple grand more. Looks awesome man!
