Let's play : what is "on your list" ?
When using the term "on my list" watch collectors usually mean potential candidates that,given the right moment,opportunity or occasion, might enter their collection.
It is not about these high 6-digit dream pieces that are outside our financial capabilities or comfort zone but these very realistic targets.
Given the wide array of interest in watches that is represented in this forum I was curious to find out about your next realistic targets.
To make it a bit more difficult you are allowed for a maximum of 5 choices !!
Here is my "list" (in alphabetical order):
- Grönefeld 1941 Principia in steel with salmon dial
- H.Moser Heritage "funky blue"
- Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième 41 mm in steel with either grey or black dial
- Longines Heritage Classic
Now, what about you?
Best regards,
Gerard

Almost a impossible task imo 😬 to much watches on my wishlist 🤦🏻♂️
Will give it a try : - Akrivia AK06 - MB
Top choices.
I do have the 5170 G silver dial/Breguet hands and it is a superb watch!
it's a tough exercise
but in no particular order. The next milestone for me is in 4 years it could be one of these: JLC Ultrathin Perpetual black dial Patek Philippe 5205G-013 AP RO 15450 so "cliche" but I just like it in this size A. Lange& Söhne Datograph FP Journe Octa divi...
You could not go wrong with any of these.
I have a sweet spot for the JLC UT Perpetual with black dial.
In no particular order but
A chrono first, a PAM214 split second ideally or a RO Kasparov A 5513 from the 90s A 14060 (M - if I find a good one) A gronefeld remontoir A RO ultrathin Nothing too crazy I think!
My unobtainable grail is Breguet marine 5517 in white gold bracelet
But since we talk about "realistic" wish list, here are from me : 1. IWC Novecento ref. 3546 in YG circa 1990-2000 2. Heuer Carrera CS3140 in YG , 36 mm. 3. New Cartier Santos dumont limited edition 500 pc in two tone (Steel with YG bezel) 4. reverso trib...
Wow... this is difficult, some choices less likely but desired enough to include here. Konstantin Chaykin Joker, Breguet type XX, GS 9F quarts, a ltd ed 40mm Fifty Fathoms, number 5
is a toss up between a Gulf Monaco and the Breitling Wheels and Waves.
In no particular order
- Glasshütte Original Chronometer; - Blancpain fifty fathoms; - Vacheron Constantin Traditionelle Handwound 38 mm; - Parmigiani Tonda 1950; - Patek Philippe 5320G.
All ceramic bracelet and case...
very difficult technology to master to get consistent color.
OK, I'll bite...
ALS Cabaret Moonphase, RG or YG ALS 1815 Autimatik YG Breguet Reveil du Tsar, YG Drive de Cartier Moonphase GO Senator Chronometer RG GO PanoInverse XL, SS, Ruthenium Dial JLC Amvox II Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire, SS, Bracelet Piaget Altipla...
Meanwhile, I managed to miss the whole "limited to 5" bit. 😳
If that's the case, the most likely next acquisitions might be the ALS Cabaret, the Parmigiani Hebdomadaire, the PanoInverse, the GO chronometer, or the Zenith "Shadow."
I just put down a deposit on the only watch that was on my hit list.
I’ll reveal it in January when it’s on my wrist. 😏
Your list is not bad at all!
Mine, in no particular order: - Rolex Daytona, ST, ceramic bezel, white dial. - Rolex Submariner, ST, green bezel and dial (Hulk). - Rolex Day-Date 40, WG, fluted bezel, olive green dial. - Patek 6007A, limited edition - Lange Zeitwerk, WG or Lange 1, WG,...
Thanks, my friend!
Some of them ordered time ago, not much hope, and some others are future projects. We'll see which ones join the collection eventually.
Only with extreme discipline can I narrow my wish list to five.
F.P. Journe Vagabondage II; Patek Philippe 5711/1A-011 with 26-330 SC Movement; F.P. Journe Chronometre Optimum Black Label Platinum 40mm; Breguet Type XX 3827PT; Patek Philippe 5450P-001 And so many more.
You are cheating:limitation was for five only (LOL).
Seriously, all of these are dream watches! My personal favorites? The GP three bridges tourbillon,the VC 1921 PT and one of these vintage FF's.
If five, then...
The Two Duometres, The Gyrotourbillon One, The Girard Perregaux Neotourbillon black, and the damn Rolex GMT MASTER Fat Lady.
Difficult to limit it to 5!
But also it changes far too regularly! It's always nice to have a few in mind should you ever drop on one - and I don't mean the fatal " just going to look" eoisodes! A JLC Master Control with solid caseback & medallion prob in 34mm. A Reverso Date A IWC ...
Quite honestly,the priorities of my list have also the tendency to change...
Your current list contains some great watches!
Only two: a . . .
. . . Dornblüth 04.0 . . . . . . like Claudio's, and an Ω ref 2410 . . . . . . like Erich's. Everything else falls under the "would be nice, but . . ." category. Art ...
Chances are . . .
. . . only one will come to pass. Grey 2410 chronometers are rarer than hen's teeth. There are seventy five 04.0's in circulation. I don't know how many 2410s were made, but extrapolating from data provided by Bill Sohne, there might've been a thousand al...
These days, my fantasies . . .
. . . are more about LP playback . . . . . . than watches. ;-) ...
Great thread and impossible to narrow down to 5...your collection is amazing already but adding any of these pieces I am sure would make you happy!!
so here is my list for this week..lol..IN order of favorites but probably wont be purchased in this order due to budgetary reasons... 1. VC Overseas 4500V- Blue Dial or Silver Dial 2. Omega Railmaster 60th Anniversary 3. JLC TT DSA- Europe or US- Whicheve...
OK, let’s play.
Some of these have been on the “must own at some point” list for a long long time. Breguet La Tradition 7027 Ulysee Nardin Freak (the original) Patek Worldtime 5131J/G MB&F HM3 Frog RM 67-02 (I know, fairly pedestrian RM but it’ll fit my wrist nicely). Th...
A few classics for sure.
Thinking about it now, it’d be a pretty amazing 5 watch collection.
A fun post. I have several lists for several purposes...
...but for the purposes of this post, the list would look something like this (in alphabetical order): - Chopard L.U.C 1860 (specifically 16/1860/1 or 16/1860/2) - Datograph (not decided on the gen/metal combination, which may be the biggest issue here!) ...
Ok I will play too!
These are the ones which I truly hope to get and can realistically afford with abit of saving in the not so distant future. They are ranked according to my preference 1) Daytona Ceramic (this depends on my luck which I am not too optimistic) 2) JLC Revers...
Fun game!...
At this stage, though, five or more is no longer necessary. Just one will do, and it will signal ‘game over’. Photo: Don Corson Cheers, pplater. ...
