You've been blowing my mind.. What can one say.. Grrreat selection !! :)
.. I think, there are simply too many for me;
Let me sleep about it, whether its better to stay silent or
"..whether to weapon oneself against a sea of plagues.."
(Ref: Shakespeare : Hamlet )
Almost too much for a Padawan's delight !!

" . . . covet thy neighbor's w . . .
. . . atch." Ok, guys, you all know the feeling: you're scanning PuristSPro, and all of a sudden, wham! - a watch pops up that you're just nuts about. Except, it belongs to someone else. Damn! Here's a few of your watches that drive me crazy. First, a Gla...
What a topic...
....I think I will need a bigger hard-drive....so many watches I covet!! I'll take ALL of Iceman's offerings for a start!! Uhm, quite a few of Nicolas and Blomman....oh this is going to take a LONG time. Looking forward to this.
Great Topic!
First watch that comes to mind - Nicolas's 7924 BC. But he knows that already! Additionally, Bill's 5510 BC. And yes, he knows that already, too! Other than that, there are some very rare and very nice watches on this site, but none of them are ones that ...
MY watch du jour?
That's easy - a 16600 for daily use. Also have a 1665. That's the whole collection. Both great pieces! V/R Mike
Well, my friend, you have good taste. I may have something to post which will
... Please you! Best, Nicolas
Looking forward to it!
I have a feeling it will either have a Big Crown or a "Submariner" in the title. Or both! V/R Mike
Do you remember the Eastwood classic . . .
. . . White Hunter, Black Heart ? That should've been the title of your movie! :-)
This is an easy one for me as Nicolas knows!
His Breguet makes my heart hurt every time he shares it with us! I have also added my latest catch from JLC that helps me remember what day it is and when to wake up ;0).. The Omega Railmaster is also killer--thanks Art. The JLC is for Ken, he is waiting ...
. . . nuthin' better than . . .
. . . a mint example of a CK2914, Tim. Just as nice - yes. Better? Man, that's a tough 'un! . . .
I want to be a fly at a NorCal Gang GTG
This Dufour is my lust: The gang just are tremendous collectors. I got to see Jeff's new Voutilainen Chrono in person here in Philadelphia. Just incredible. But I also could shop till I drop with Samwan's inventory! Too many to show. I think Sam's taste i...
Oh, how could I forget:
JLC TTP 65. I do not know who to give this pix credit to, but I just love it. It seems like the entire community has this watch except me. LUST !! ...
That is a verrrrry familiar looking reflection in the bezel of that watch!
We will have to invite you to a GTG sometime! Best, Gary G
Without calling any names...
Art, I am not sure I am comfortable with this theme... It opens up a lot of "old wounds"... And reminds me of many watches that I have repressed and finally got out of my primary focus! :( This is far from all watches here in the forum that have caught my...

That's an awful lot of . . .
. . . discomfort, my good man! Yes, I feel your pain ;-) . . .
Indeed, blomman. The image with four IWC Ingenieurs . . .
. . . belongs to Tony C. Well, I've had the pleasure of seeing them in person, and the grey dial (quite rare, per Tony) is yet another . . . . . . pain in my heart. Art
Ahhh what a subject!...
Sounds like the ultimate wishlist!... Ubik's Big Indian, couple of Breitling AVI and CP...actually most of his watches! Ztirual's 2998 Speedmaster, Military Big triangle SM 300, 13 zn...well most of his watches as well!!! Noodia's Siffert Nico's 7924...an...
Please, don't get me started . . .
. . . on Ubik's collection. This one haunts my dreams . . . ...
If he ever teamed up with Steve G . . .
. . . we could just wash our hands and call it a day! Those two have all the best stuff . . .
You know where this ends

Biblically speaking, yes; in reality, coveting usually leads to . . . . .
. . . Collectors Market ;-) . . .
Trivial ... Blomman, Bruno.M1, a friend and Dr. No ...
I have a deep desire in this one: By sheer lucky, Blomman is in process to donate it to the poor people of South America (me, of course) and receiving a major tax deduction from the Kingdom of Sweden. has another object of deep desire: Another friend, th...
Here's the first image of Black Connie . . .
. . . that I saw, back in '05 on another forum. It belonged to Phil then, and was constantly on my mind for years. At one point, we were engaged in a trade for my Mk II, but weren't able to complete it for some long-forgotten reason. Not long afterwards, ...
Isn't it amazing . . .
. . . how an image can capture our imagination? That one pic, which didn't quite capture the rose gold accents, was ever so vivid in my mind before getting lucky enough to land it . . .
Cool ...
Do you want to enter the same donation pool that Blomman is in (for the poor people of South America -- e.g. me)? Tomorrow I will post two VERY exquisite UG Polerouter Sub. Today's one and another with a dial that I never saw here. Cheers, Nilo
There are quite a lot very desirable Super Compressor 42 mm cases.
The Bulova, The Droz, this one, the Longines, the Polaris, of course, the Vetta... It is a super theme, but difficult to achieve. Best, Nicolas
Not a theme for me ...
Just a deadly wish to have a UG like yours or better like my friend's one. Compressor, cool dial paired with a historical movement. Cheers, Nilo
So you can reduce the theme around SC cases housing in house movements.
And you will sum it to the UG, the Longines and the Polaris... ;) Best, Nicolas
To dream the impossible dream
Great theme. For me, I'll not mention Iceman's overly coveted 8171 but start with the less obvious. These ones really hit the spot for me: First and foremost, SteveGs Reverso Chronographe Retrograde Minutes Secondly, samwans exquisite Lang & Heyne Thi...
Steve G is the consummate collector. Just about every piece he owns . . .
. . . is intrinsically desirable, and when viewed in the context of being within his collection, all the more compelling. In his case, the forest makes the trees. Thanks for joining in, Dean.
Do we really need to go through all this dear Art?
Sadistic theme for sure but as would our dear consigliere say sometimes little pain is good Know fact is that I'm Nicolas groupie so I'll start with his collection that is very coveting... Hunting me since day one Let's have few for coffee and one from ro...
Not a bad taste ...
Damjan, I could live with most of your choices, except the ones without a running seconds (my fault, my OCD). Cheers, Nilo
OCD that's me! :)
You have point no seconds on watch drives me crazy as much as date is driving Nicolas :) but if he can make exceptions sometimes so can I ;) Best my dear Nilo Damjan
Fernando's taste in watches . . .
. . . is matched by his skills as a photographer. Yes, there's much to covet in Hong Kong . . .
I think I need a limit on this! Just 3
I wouldn't want to be thought of as greedy! In no particular order of preference... Each for very different reasons..... adorable trio ...
. . . and the watch you're wearing . . .
. . . this lovely So Cal weekend? (77ยบ F. Winter? What winter?)
Post from an undisclosed location...
.. I am on business trip and the rental mobile WiFi router is acting up but now it seems to be in good mood. So, here you go - the one which belong to someone else but I would REALLY LIKE if and when the situation permits....... Just sigh..... HAGWE! I wi...
Details, please. There's a few Pateks . . .
. . . on my wish list, too . . . . . . like this one. ...
Rare breed of 96...
... which I had never seen - two tone sector dial, applied roman index, blued second hand, super minty condition.... About 33mm or so. Who wouldn't want that? :-) I just can't forget about it!! Ken
That's a hard one Art...
We've all experienced this feeling but, surprisingly, I can't find easily the one I would pick. I can easily understand though how this 2648 Omega could have entered your hall of fame list. I would say this one for me: Have a great week-end, Mark ...
Well Art, the watch I'm wearing these days...
...is still the RM (I wear them for a period of 1 or 2 months each). Cheers, Mark ...
There's no coveting here Art...But!
I will take this...Goes well with my Sixties PD ;-) With thanks to fernando for the image. HAGWE! -- Richard. ...
I covet enough for the both of us, Richard! . . .
. . . gosh, what I wouldn't give for Miki's . . . . . . 1894 Homage . . . ...
Many thanx...
The 1894 is my current favorite but this one is most desired: My lost inheritance ;-( Please excuse my bad scan, but it was one of my first and I'm not much better now. Mom had this set custom made by my Uncle Art. He was our areas first Omega AD. Engrave...
Admiring, yes .. To covet, a bit.. But dreaming the impossible ..
- Maybe... Why not ? .. Somehow, I considered that theme a bit provocative, as you have to reflect and to dig deep down in an abyss of desires (?) Secondly, considering my humble and small collection, I guess - - I could name about 15-20 pieces, which wou...
Always, pls remember: I absolutely would.. if I only could !! :))
.. there are " grails" , where one ( for sure, myself as well) would not hesitate a moment.. if such opportunity would surface.. :))) Thank you, for friendly looking and these so nice words ! As always my best, hs
The Geophysic drives many of us to distraction, hs . . .
. . . even confirmed Omega-philes as myself . . .
I will covet a little latter. First a little sunshine
Yes yes we are in a good place. For weather that is. Another Santa Ana weather cycle. Unfortunately raises the fire danger. A beach beach shot live. HAGWE Bill Ps This small production Rolex 16750 will be introduce later. ...
