Interesting to see the Panerais on your list (surprised me a bit), which are so different from the Reverso. It is very true that the list can be endless because there is always something grabbing one’s eye after seeing daily posts here and elsewhere.
What’s Next?
I think many of us are always considering what next to add to the collection. In fact, the constant searching is one of the most enjoyable aspects of collecting. I think it would be interesting to hear from people what pieces they think will be next for t...
I let fate play with me. And I will add Luck, too...
I have such a long wish list that I have no problem letting fate play a bit. Now luck is another song, you know the story of the right watch which falls on the bad moment too well. In the moderns, I would focus on the Duometres ( UTT, QL Enamel ) or on th...

I'm happy with my three-piece collection
And I'm not lusting for anything other than a Grand Lange 1 Lumen, but the time for it will eventually come. That said, Baselworld is around the corner, maybe my next darling will be there. Who knows...
What next?
I'm expecting a slow year this year and my primary goal is to thin out rather than add. I've said that before but it's not happened and so let's see how that goes. Like you, I do like to leave purchases to luck or randomness and so I'm always looking in s...
I’m looking to add a quartz watch.
