has Johns PP 2499 in a safe. I would reach out to her just to say that I am prepared to pay the price she would feel comfortable selling it for. In addition I am willing to sign an agreement that I would never sell it nor reveal that I am now the proud owner of the watch. Rock on! Pelle

If money were no object

 
 By: Thomas_3 : December 7th, 2022-14:52
what ONE thing would you go out and buy for yourself today? Not as a gift, but for yourself. Money being no object means incurring no debt to acquire what it is you want. For me, I think I would get the house of my dreams, not a big one, I'm past that, ju... 

I guess....

It mostly depends on wether the consideration is mostly practical or emotional. If practical, then absolutely real estate.... If emotional then there are more conflicting choices to ponder , a toss-up between a watch, a car, and an airplane ........

I'd buy time

Let me explain: I would spend it all on ways to give me as much free time as possible, since there's nothing more precious to us mortals than time. You can easily find a connection with watches.

Honestly, I think there comes a time in everyone’s life……

Where they realize this is the right answer.

Nice question

 
 By: Cookies : December 7th, 2022-15:15
A few options came to my mind. Would I want a hospital? Maybe, no. But an orphanage perhaps yes with all my heart. One in a third world country, with active ties to people supporting it from first world countries. Teaching neglected kids to become better ... 

I mean....

 
 By: InHavenPro : December 7th, 2022-15:23
In my reading, your answer defeats the purpose of his question! I understood him specifically asking what would you get for yourself alone, not as a form of charitable act........

Yes indeed

 
 By: Cookies : December 7th, 2022-15:44
I would like to own and operate an orphanage. It is a mightily costly dream which cannot be achieved unless one has tons of resources to do so. Take it like I bought a large house for myself, and commissioned it for orphans and their survival.=D

Yes, I get that....

 
 By: InHavenPro : December 7th, 2022-16:06
Many of the answers here, I am confident, would be different if the context of the question was about being charitable.... I would certainly state something along those lines myself having been raised by a pediatrician. With that said, that doesn't say an... 

In that context

 
 By: Cookies : December 7th, 2022-19:30
I would like a house with a deep water dock and a personal submarine.=D Then I can see the underwater world from it’s relative comfort as and when I would like.

Hahaha :D

 
 By: InHavenPro : December 7th, 2022-19:33
That's a properly interesting answer!

Ok you’re happy

 
 By: Cookies : December 7th, 2022-20:02
I’m happy too. Just thought of another answer. It comes from the bottom of my heart. I would like to own the National Geographic magazine. Why? Sometimes when I read the magazine, I envision more adventures than what they are currently writing about. Some... 

What a fantastic idea. That where I would spend 99 % of my money too.

 
 By: Ajas : December 7th, 2022-15:47
For rest 1 % I would probably get electric Alpine in 2026 . I can wait. I am patient person. 🙂

Sounds great

 
 By: Cookies : December 7th, 2022-15:55
For the 1%, I will reallocate orphanage funds or “directors salary” to earn a couple of Omega SM’s to gift to orphans on a contest.=D Sounds very Bond innit?

Sounds fantastic !

Go for the fueled one! :)))

Also a house

 
 By: blau : December 7th, 2022-15:19
But I wouldn't upgrade my current home, I'd buy a (nice, manageably-sized) vacation home somewhere wonderful. Maybe in the redwood forests in California, or on Capri, or....?

 By: blau : December 7th, 2022-16:41
But wouldn't the team's inevitable failure frustrate you even more if you owned them?

Too true 😭

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : December 7th, 2022-21:13
But this year will be different 🤣🤣 Also just sit in owner's box would be cool

That sounds a little bit like the Knights Who Say Nee

Nothing in particular that I need….

But if someone is bankrolling my “money no object wish”, I will have the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, thks. I just like the building😂

Add in a state-of-the-art ground-based observatory... good for 'measuring' time. A fully 'furnished' watch / clock maker's room would be welcome, though the observatory takes priority.

We've got a Winner :D

 
 By: InHavenPro : December 7th, 2022-17:32
The observatory idea is, to me, as good as it gets

Thx, yet let's be sure to it...

 
 By: enjoythemusic : December 7th, 2022-17:36
...being state-of-the-art web-enabled so observatory time could be given freely to others (education, enthusiasts, etc). The new systems offer amazing remote capabilities and the cooled digital image-capturing devices are getting pretty impressive.

100%

 
 By: InHavenPro : December 7th, 2022-17:43
That is both as practical and emotional as it gets!

Not sure which one, but they are not all the same.

Great choice
