Now that many BW2018 novelties have been revealed, I realized that this is my fifth season since I began following the big watch shows, i.e. SIHH and BW shows in 2014 were the first year in which I started looking (and was in a position to contemplate buy...
I'll pipe in
I would say there is at least one watch from SIHH and one from Basel that I add to my wish list so 10 in the last 10 years. From there, I re-evaluate and reduce that number to about 1/year. It's all relative though as someone with more resources would buy...

N.B. For those who participate, and to make it easiest to tabulate most commercially successful shows/years, please tabulate answers in following format:
For me: 2014 SIHH 1 BW 1; 2015 SIHH 0 BW 0; 2016 SIHH 0 BW 0; 2017 SIHH 0 BW 0; 2018 SIHH 0 BW 1
Ok let me have a go .
BW 2014 0 BW 2015. 1 BW 2016. 1 BW 2017. 1 SIHH. O BW 2018. On my way now 😁. SIHH 0
Until this year although I had visited the shows
I had never purchased anything. But in 2018, it is one from the SIHH (which I attended) and two from Basel (which I have not attended)!
I probably am attracted to one, possibly two models a year at a stretch...
Although that doesn’t always translate into a purchase. As I prefer quality over quantity, the past few years we have seen top brands push the boundaries of complications, which has kept me intrigued and entertained. I found your chart interesting in that...
Indeed. The top shelf manufacturers have now yet again raised prices of their desirable pieces. I have been more than satisfied with 4 figure watches and the world of 5 or 6 figure...
watches is not in my league. When it comes to price, remember, if you have to ask... [you can't afford it]!!
I have only bought a watch as a result of SIHH/Baselworld offerings —
that was the Omega CK 2998 L.E. in 2016 during the span of years that you specify. There is a strong chance I will buy another Omega this year — a 2018 Baselworld offering.
2009: Zenith New Vintage '69. 2013: GS SBGW047. 2017: Ω Rail. Three . . .
. . . over a course of ten years. And the first two have departed my collection. What I can say with near absolute certainty is that the limited Rail will be my last new acquisition ever. And when my watchmaker retires, I'm swearing off watches altogether...
