And though I prefer hand-wound movements
I would want this one to be automatic. Assuming for the moment I could still afford to keep at least one other watch after buying this one there would be times I wouldn't wear it. Strapping it onto a watch winder would be so very convenient.
Everyone has a fantasy/dream watch
that no one makes (yet). Here's one I would like to see. There's plenty of the ultra thin watches around and I would like to have one, but with other priorities in the way it'll have to wait. What I would like to see is an ultra thin Rolex Cellini in stai...
My current flight of fancy . . .
. . . would be a black Ω ref 2989. It's a perversely uncommon Omega reference; for every cal 505 Seamaster in my experience, I've probably seen a hundred Connies. Over the years, I've come across a dozen or so altogether. Steel, gold-capped, two-tone, 14 ...
What are your concerns about RWS’ shock protection?
Just curious, as it’s a regular incabloc.
As I understand it, the co-axial escapement itself is way less tolerant of shock than a swiss lever.
A watchmaker who worked for Omega told me to go swiss lever whenever possible.
Interesting. I've never heard this.
The escapement geometry that George Daniels designed produces very secure locking, as far as I'm aware. Having worn an Omega co-axial regularly for close to 10 years, I've never had an issue related to shocks. If you are skeptical of the Omega design spec...
I'm sure you are much better informed than me!
The watchmaker did have a heated talk with Roger about the co-axial and the differences between Roger's vs Omega's versions. They are separate things by now.
I would love...
a perpetual calendar, moon phase, sunrise/sunset and equation of time watch, in white gold with a cream-colored dial; at a 40mm diameter and with a height of 12.5mm or less. At an affordable price. OR...the U.N. Moonstruck at half the size, which would be...
And also a talented watchmaker close by
who would drop everything else to service this watch when I brought it in for service.

Duometre Chronograph
Duometre Chronograph Rattrapante White Dial In any case I ll take it in any colour. Black or grey blue or panda or Lange Rattrapante in white dial or panda dial
All I want is...
an ultra thin case in platinum, featuring a Grande Sonnerie with Westminster chimes, combined with a Rattrapante Chronograph and Flying Tourbillon, oh, and a Sarpaneva moonface! The hunter caseback should reveal the fusee-and-chain constant force escapeme...
A perpetual calendar where i can change the date myself by a pushbutton at 10 o`clock, every morning when i wake up, so i can see it all happen !
What is the point of having the change at midnight when i am sleeping..... ! Apart from NY eve or birthdays. And from either Ochs&Jr or IWC please.
A true 3417 successor
For me, it would be a Patek with the following: -New manually wound caliber with overcoil, that can fill a 38mm case. -39mm diameter -10.5mm thick -dial design a la 3417 -Sapphire crystal -White gold Brandon PS I’d also love a version of the new Omega Rai...
