Horological Meandering

. . . my favorite watch that could've been the inspiration . . .

. . . for a bumper sticker ;-) . . .

Lots of potential "Hertz" jokes out there, Art...

. . . would be a vintage Omega of interest; a military specimen would be nice.

Not so realistic, but still highly desired, and done deal if at all possible: G O 1845 Karree, GS SBGW035, Omega 1894 Homage.

Unrealistic, yet maddeningly tantalizing: Dornblüth Quintus. 

Dreamland: Omega central tourbillon.

Remarkable that only two (or three, if you count the latest versions of the Omega central) are in current production.

Cordially,

Art

for my kids to be healthy 

the Kangaroo sack I'll see what I can do! Cheers, Francois

only one watch on my wish list, the Vacheron Constantin 30010/000P. I would really be very happy with just this little jewel.

I'm trying to stay on my budget, no particular order:

1) Habring Doppel 2.0, grey dial please;

2) Zenith Pilot big date 42mm SS

3) Omega Speedmaster "First Omega in Space"

4) Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor GMT

5) Zenith El Primero Striking 10th

6) GP Sea Hawk II John Harrison SS

Cheers,

Nilo

but reducing it to what I could wear:

-a vintage Patek, problem is which one, so many possibilities, maybe a 1578 which is not the most iconic, but I like its special design. But so many others are tempting.

-a vintage Vacheron: a Chronomètre Royal with handwinding or a triple date moonphase, or a 4710, a reference I like, with a nice Guilloche dial.

-Longines , so many things there.

-a gold TOG Rolex (or its Vacheron "copy" ^^ ) , an oysterquartz with the blue dial also, but not as much as the first two lines.

-the one which are not vintage are sadly way out of my range: a Patek 5039G or 5139 black dial, Haldimann H9 , RO perpetual skeleton, De Bethune DBS, Lange 1815 Moonphase Platinum... and so many others  , but luckily most new watch are too large for my taste.

... mine looks like a big chunk of good Emmental cheese!

But I feel that there is no collection, complete as it looks to be, that has no holes on it. Collecting means we are always looking after filling holes: the pieces that we feel are missing in our collections. No holes would mean no more fun, I guess.

I got a lot of inspiration reading about the "holes" of fellow Purists collections. Many of the choises here would make me more than happy.

Now, if money wouldn´t be any concern, my wishes would go after a PP Heures Universailles (not the present version, but the previous one) and a nice example of a vintage Blancpain FF.

Thank you for a very nice and interesting post!
Best cordial regards, Abel.

1. AP RO anniversary

2. 1 from Rolex either blackbay or yachtmaster blue dial

3. Lange datograph old version

4. De bethune DB28

5. a nice 1655

lets hope next year treat me well

best,

Ed

Due to Horo's influence, will be looking to buy my first Lange. Looking at Saxonia Annual Calender or 1815 Chronograph. That will be a priority. And if I don't lose my job, perhaps a Independent that is reasonable price like Habring, which many people here like. And if I can trade my panerai without losing too much money, I will look at PAM 372.and if I strike lottery ToTo, I will buy a Lange Datograph.

No idea what 2013 will bring, since I only go into a year knowing that it's always more fun when something takes me down a path I've never been or ever considered and then have something magically happen. I speak for my life as I do for how I seem to get watches

And that list is HUGE!

But if you need actual specifics, a FP Journe Centigraphe would be nice as well as the Richard Mille RM028 diving watch in brown PVD.

Cheers,
Anthony

I've always been a big dive watch fan but lately I've been eyeballing this out of production Casio MR-G Titanium frogman. Here's a pic not mines.

1. DRSD, thin case. Tropical dial will be icing on the cake. 

if money is no issue:

 

1) IWC Da Vinci (vintage 1969) with Beta 21

2) Heritage Watch Manufactory - Firmamentum (or Tensus)

3) JLC Deep Sea (vintage) European version

4) JLC Geophysic pink gold

5) Movado M90/95 chronograph with screw-back case, 35mm 

Very nice list, my friend! I hope you will get at least some of them next year!

Well, as you know I am a simple man with simple wishes...

1. Highest on my list would be the icon of both Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Memovox - JLC Polaris 68 - the original of course, not the TT!

A must have, for a JLC / Memovox lover!

 

2. Here is a tie... Between three watches - all Jaeger-LeCoultre, all Jubilé, all gorgeous!

JLC Memovox World Time - 1 in SS and 1 in Gold (yes, I am that greedy )

JLC Geophysic Rose Gold

 

3. After that is another tie... Between four watches - two brands, two watches from each.

Omega 2915 Speedmaster

Omega Centenary

Zenith Chronometre - it don't has to be a Port Royal, a "normal" Cal 135 Chronometre will do...

Zenith S. 58 - first generation (no diving bezel), manual Cal 120, black dial (preferably) - I am not picky!

 

 

Simple, yes?

 

Best

PS. Dear Santa, I have been a good boy this year...

PS2. The modern wish-list for 2013 I will wait until after the SIHH...

The 2 Zeniths, the Damn JLC Memo WT Ref 3160, another Geophysic, but the cross hair dial in my case, and a nice Omega Speedie... 2998 if I can't grab a 2915...

As for the modern list, wait to see what JLC will unveil, I think there is something for you...



Best!

Nicolas.
