Horological Meandering

I am initiating an interesting reasearch that I hope will raise your interest. I am kindly asking you to suggest a watch to fill in the empty spot in the box considering what is already in and having a budget of 20.000 €. (21.000 USD). Please specify your...  

I would say a three hands (all your other watches have at least one complication), dressed, with a dial colour that you don\'t own already... I\'m thinking about the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. This watch would be a great addition among your today collect... 

It was always one of my options. Classic lines with a contemporary face. Lovely suggestion! Thanks!

Best wishes Alkiro ...  

But I would go for a silver/white dial one for a dressier look.

thank you for your suggestion, Luis! R

Or a VC historique 1921?

Best wishes Alkiro

Then VC 1921 will look perfect size!

Best wishes Alkiro

Thank you!

The choice is wide...

Not to mention the out of budget Freak. Thank you for your suggestions, Nicolas!

But the upcoming PuristSPro watch would fit right in=) J

And 43mm is a bit too large for my wrist. Thanks, J!

since you are selling more than one watch from that box right now on our collectors market. Please excuse me but this look like shilling which is not allowed Cheers D

and that place is reserved to a Lange 1 Time Zone, also in honey gold.

Best wishes Alkiro

Good decision but I would also keep the Lange you have I find it very appealing Cheers D

I wanted to raise money for a UN Freak (a good opportunity for which I had a time frame) and set a price in my mind for which I would part with the RD. It did not sell for my minimum price therefore I decided to keep it.

Preferably a Duo

5130, 5110, Geophysic would be my suggestions. I know tue 5130 might be tight budget wise, but probably possible still.

I forgot about this nice piece of horology.

Image from Ant's SOLD listing at Collector's Market Because: - You seem to like the brand, given that awesome chrono of yours - Perpetual calendar is missing in your collection, so are retrograde indicators - It will stand out among others with its unique...  

Many thanks!

Hello! I´m missing the Peprpetual Calender in your collection. The Q1618420 8 Days in steel (40mm) would be fine. ...  

I will have a closer look at it. R

As a Seikoholic l would suggest a top of the range GS.

i will look closer to their lime-up.

No message body

It is slightly larger than my ideal size

How about a JLC Master Ultra Thin or a PP Calatrava Let us know what you get in the end. Cheers! SF

Yes, I will let everybody know.

Fits the bill if you ask me )

We have a tie with the Cheonometre Bleu

I have never been a fan of the Lange Big Date with the "empty" first row for all days 9 and below; akin to fingers on a chalkboard in my sensibilities; but, to each their own, to which I heartily ascribe. Alternatively, I own the white gold black dial Sax... 

- FP Journe Chronometre Bleu - H Moser & Cie Venturer Maybe something more out of the ordinary like a - Sarpaneva - Speake Marin - Christiaan van der Klaauw ?

And you're the third that comes up with a Chronometre Bleu. I will start to look for one.

Undoubtedly I\'d put a Chronometre Blue from FPJ. It\'s a time only instrument but very different than any other. The rose gold movement is beautiful, the blue dial is mesmerizing and that tantalum case complete its uniqueness! Besides, you need some blue...  

every time I see one I want one

....it takes some bravery, as stated by fellow PuristS in the past Best Regards Edward

After 20 years of being a watch lover, I learned to like watches without date or manual mechanical but accuracy and perfect service are things that I am obsessed with. That is why I never really considered vintage watches or cars. I like the vintage look ... 

With that budget, could stretch to a Lange 1 or perhaps a pure time only piece in the Saxonia 37mm (which will come in quite a bit under budget!)

But I find the Saxonia to be rather small.

Lang & Heyne Friedrich III – bit of reading #1 and #2 Arnold & Son HMS 1 – RG Blue guilloché or SS Silver frosted(?) Chopard LUC Quattro WG Blue , Mark III WG , Lunar One Perp RG , Lunar One Perp Pt Moritz Grossmann SS Minerva Villeret 41 or RG Minerva Vi... 

You killed me with the link to that LF Galet. Price is good but out of my current reach. Minerva is a very good option as well. I will look into it. Many thanks once again!

I can’t stand the look of that Overseas DT (nor the identical AP RO – both are woeful compared to what JLC managed to come up with, using the same caliber!), and as the complication is effectively replicated by the BLNR, then I’d happily ditch it and get ... 

Remarkably versatile, and looks different enough from your other watches. I too think a simple time-only watch would be a good 6th watch. Perhaps, besides the CB, I'd sugggest a TTR1931 Reverso? Or if you'd like a different shaped watch, perhaps a PP 5711... 

CB seems to be very loved around here

The CB is so loved here that I started to look for one. Many thanks, R

may the next one IMHO would be JLC Duometre or an independent manufacture... Best, mahesh.,

The independents I like are out of my reach: Laurent Ferrier and Kari Voutilainen

1) Patek Philippe 5167A 2) A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Both time only (ok, the Patek has a date also), 1 more dress, 1 more sport. But hey! You are missing a Patek from your box! So...

But this is a thread for watch lovers and personal disappointments are out of place here.

The RD monopusher is amazing. But I think a traditional two register chronograph would be a wonderful addition. To be honest I think at half your budget, adding a sector dial two register chronograph would be perfect. the new JLC chronograph introduced at... 

I did not have time to review the new releases in detail. Best, R

I am def thinking outside the box on this one. Your looking for a watch like the other 5. I\'m thinking a Richard Mille blue rm10 . Blow the other 5 out of the water.

Every serious collector should have a JLC. Or A good indie: FP Journe Blue or Paul Gerber
