When it comes to new watches, there are a few . . .
. . . starting with my favorite tool/sports/utility design, the Omega Railmaster:

I'm hoping that the latest generation of Omega movements will make it's way into the Railmaster next year. The other new design that is in current production (but which I haven't seen in the metal yet) is the Eterna Madison Spherodrive . . .
. . . which appeals on every level. I'd give the edge to the Railmaster, but if a cal 8500 version doesn't appear next year, then the Eterna moves to the top of the list. There is a 'vintage' Glashütte Original that I'd love to own, one of the limited edition 1845 Karrees from 2003/2004 in either steel . . .
. . . or gold . . .
. . . and mainly because of this:
Regarding Seiko: count me as a huge fan as they offer outstanding quality and value. There are currently two vintage Seikos in the watch box . . .
. . . but I fear both of them will depart soon to my twin nephews, so I might just get a Grand Seiko to compensate ;-). Cordially, Art
Whats on your wish list?
I apologize if I can't post this question here, I'm still new to the site LOL, But I want to know what watch or watches are on your wish list? Here's mines what do you think? Like it Don't like it. Also what are your thoughts on the Citizen Campanola line...
I forgot the RM Felipe Massa that my "dealer" teased me with on wednesday..
it does not delete itself anymore from my"hard disk", really dangerous!...
The Spring Drive
technology is quite something else. You have to see for yourself how smooth the second hand moves. Very accurate as well.
Hi, Kevin!
No need to be sorry, my friend, but since you want to discuss about watches whose brands don't have a specific forum, you may post your thread on " Horological Meandering ". As for your question, it is abit hard to answer, because I have so many in my wis...
Kevin, you better
avoiding our friendly Nicolas, else you will go nuts ... LOL Cheers Nic !

Thanks.
I did'nt even noticed they was a section called HorologicalMEandering I'll try to remember next time I happen to own a Seiko Orange Monster my first Seiko too by the why, I also own a Citizen Minute Repeater, and a Seiko World timer. I call my world Timer...
Lucky nephews!
Hi Art, Those Seikos are very nice, and I especially like the black one (a Sea Lion, perhaps?). I agree completely about the value to be found in vintage Seikos, and, while subjective, I find their design aesthetic during the sixties to be, broadly speaki...
Good eye, Tony . . .
. . . yes, it is a Sea Lion, and is now in good running condition . . . kind of amazing, considering that it was worn regularly for forty years before the date module finally seized up due to neglect. Fortunately, my watchmaker had an identical movement i...
That Citizen is a great watch and tremendous value
I particularly like it in titanium with the white dial. - SJX...
One watch that I should have since a long time but surprising enough...
always ends up being postponed. Every time I am decided, I get shown something else and it get priority, altough I definetely need a less sporty watch You name it : the reverso duoface maybe 2010?...
Charles that is a lovely looking Dornblueth...................
And would be my choice from this manufacture. I will be getting my next watch in February.............A Patek 5196G with the new PP seal.
Beautiful!
Beautiful new Lange! Can you comment on the offset of the datewheels second number? Is it as much of visual difference as the macros look? I am no one to critique such a masterpiece but I wished they did the GO like integration of the second number.
What a god idea Kevin....
.... unfortunately, the list I could make, would be longer than a list of watches I own. The following is a list of some of the watches I watch until they are cought. What I can say is, that I basically prefer simple dials. I own a Rolex Daytona but rarel...
re: too many
I hear you, and to make matters worse the list is in constant flux. My new years resolution should be to commit to purchases more
I like Seikos...
...and am a happy owner of a Seiko 5. I don't know much about the Citizens, but I'd like to see the Seiko Spring Drive Ananta GMT in the metal. The Credor Sonnerie looks and sounds amazing (from videos). Another watch that would most likely be breathtakin...
good to be dreaming!
greetings! i havn't seem it yet but i imagine its shape ll probably be something other than "rounded" cheers, Ed~
i have so many on my wish list, beautiful pieces, technical pieces, but...............
after what has happened to me in the last few months i would happily give up every watch i own to have a lifetime of happiness. i havent written this for sympathy, but so that those who read it can think about what is really important in life. Watches are...
my wish is a short-term leasing program for watches or better yet,
a huge rotating collection that covers all Purists worldwide; supported by an enormous Fedex-like network that swaps watches about so no watch goes unworn or un-praised by a person that admires and enjoys its design. This might kill some of the manufactur...
interesting as i have been wondering
whats happening to those luxury car club nowadays as their experience and biz model could be considered for luxury watches club too. Better yet, i secretly hope watchmakers could do what future shops do, let u experience it for 2 weeks b4 u making decisio...
great idea Mike, but whoever...
great idea Mike, but whoever tries to run it will need the cool dark room all to himself me thinks. a logistical nightmare especially with customs on every border trying to get their bit everytime the watches move anywhere. the question is...would you don...
happiness comes in differnt shape and forms
Hi graham, sorry to hear whats happened but its not a good sign even thinking to trade one happiness for another cause it means ur not ready to moving forward yet... i think i m the last person qualified to give advise on this, nevertheless, my 2 C... bes...
Ed, i fully appreciate what...
Ed, i fully appreciate what you say, but i made the comment to highlight that some things are more important in life than our collecting passions. we need to strike an even balance and if we do life and our passions should work equally well together. 2010...
best wishes to ya my friend
glad to see u r ready to charge forward with new goals in life! may 2010 be a fruitful yr for all of us! cheers, Ed~
