Order #4
So the first of June is very near. Time to make up the balance of Q1 and Q2
What watch(es) did you acquire this first half of 2016 and what watches should arrive before December 31 ?!?
So here comes my penance....
Q1
Bought nothing but did place some 'orders'
Order #1
Order #2
Q2
Order #3
Did not really place an 'order' but asked a very skilled artisan to make me a watch. Hopefully I will receive it end of Q4. Just in time for Christmas 
Order #4
And the off the shelf impulse buy of 2016
Now....enter your confessions below please!
A big one, for the end of this year.
JLC Duometre à Chronographe:
And this one, already caught:
IF I manage to get the Duometre, with this Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter, these to catches the same year will make me feel like in Heaven.

No need for more, for this year. Yes, indeed, no need for more watches!
I will even try to sell 4 or 5 of my watches to help me to achieve that goal.
Best,
Nicolas
WOW!
Finally?! The thing we have all been waiting for?!
;-)
Seriously: congratulations in advance! And one can only wholeheartedly agree with you. Those two catches are more than one could wish for in a year. Brilliant stuff.

I´m happy for you Nicolas! The 1858 MB is a precious beast already in your wrist...
... and I know how much you love the Duometre and it will be a dream come true soon. Good for you my friend!
I´ll keep my fingers crossed and am looking forward to read your anouncement when this timepiece arrives your home!
All the best my friend!
Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.

This year has been a bit different....
In that it is very focused on pieces I will wear a lot which is now more important to me than it ised to be so the collecrion has been refocused.
Recently picked up this...
And ordered this which I will get this year, hopefully for my birthday....

Ah the new Yacht Master!
With the special rubber strap. How is that holding up thus far??
The Daytona.....it seems like the whole world wants one. And we all go for the white version....

The strap is actually pretty amazing....
If you haven't held one it is worth finding one just to play with the strap. Very flexible like a snake and soo soft, then the little fins on the back just allow a little air under the strap and also allow a little movement as your wrist size changes during the day.
How it will look in a couple of years nobody knows yet, but I will also be interested to find out. I asked the head of Rolex UK tonight what it actually is as it isn't rubber or silicon but he didn't know what it actually was made of, he messaged his technical friend at Rolex but he wouldn't say either..!! Ha ha

That will already be an excellent year, indeed. Pieces to be often worn, that's a great criterion. [nt]

Good to see you back with the Duometre...
You may also notice I am becoming very much Rolex based, my GMT is just off for a spa so it will be great to get that back in hopefully new condition too. Even better that my dealer is paying for that..!!
Looking forward to you getting the JLC on your wrist

Well, I still have to fund it. But if all goes well, at the end of this year, yes, it will be mine. ;) [nt]

I really hope to see the smile on your face.....

If anybody deserves it then it is you my friend,

You are too kind. We'll celebrate that, for sure. Thanks, my friend. [nt]

so far only one for me
it wasn't expected
and if all the planets are aligned
this one
but most likely next year
thank you, you are not outdone with your selection either
I like the new Daytona, my local AD should receive the very first one in july and may propose it to me, but I think I'll decline.
We are dangerously alike....
at least for the 1st 2 watches in your list.
I was just told my CK2998 will have the same number as my Snoopy, so that is very good news to me, anniversary date.
The 3rd one will need to see after I visit Germany ) was probing around for the 2016 Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen but all sold, too late

That's very nice! (same numbers)
Ah you are heading for Dresden? enjoy!
On novelties; when I posted this thread and looked at it I realized that I've been foolish. Next year I'll just stay offline in February and March and be safe.

My two cents
Just bought a Chronometre Bleu from FP Journe today! Will pick it up when visiting LA early July.
Seriously considering buying a JLC MUT Perpetual Calendar in SS and a JLC Reverso Ultra Thin Due (large) also in SS.
And with that I have to stop!

Impulsive buy worked well...
so 'planned buy' gets pulled down
Q1 impulsive buy...
Q2 impulsive buy...
Hoping nothing in Q3, so to make a way for planned buy in x-mas.
Best, mahesh.,

LOL
just stay away from here and the (online) dealers! You might make it that way ;-)
Some very beautiful entries here...as for me..
nothing yet but I have big hopes for the second half of the year.
My dream: a 1665 or red submariner ...as beautiful as the ones belonging to Nicolas , Bill or Abel or Baron or...
Almost impossible to find except if one of these gentlemen accepts to sell one to me...I can dream and hope...
Best
