Just read a great thread on this elsewhere. What are you planning on buying next? It might be a grail or a beater, a Breitling or a Bulova but what are your thoughts? For me it's a while off but I'm thinking...

Very different watches of course, but jostling at the top of the wishlist are a Nomos Club, and a Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000. (I always wanted a JLC but have been deterred by [UK] servicing horror stories.)

I have been thinking of a PAM, however I still cannot convince myself to spend that kind of money on such a piece. Very nice aesthetically, but that's all to it.

I'm between a GO Panomatic (likely the Pano Reserve or something similar), IWC (likely Portuguese or Portofino) or a JLC (and I'm really not sure which model). For some reason I really struggle to find a JLC that I really want to buy.

Tough decision but definitely some good options.

I quite fancy a Fortis B-42 Chrono, seems to be a good quality, tried and tested model. Good value too.

I'm thinking about a JLC as well. I love the Ultra thin moon, but the price and the level of dressiness are holding me back...

Still in the midst of kids in college out of state, so will probably be awhile. I still need to have a speedy, maybe an 80s or 90s model with the tapered bracelet.

Omega Flightmaster or Spacemaster Z33.
Sinn 142, 144 or 157.
Or, something in the Porsche Design (or Orfina variant) Military Pilots watch.

Just need to win a lottery first. :(

I've been looking at newer ceramic Planet Oceans. Still a ways off though.

Just picked this up, I have wanted one for ages, quite rare, undervalued, very serviceable, bullet proof and in my opinion a make and model to watch for the future.

The Seiko 7a28-7080 Titanium sports and yes it is a quartz

My next watch will be a Patek Philippe Calatrava or a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, in either yellow or rose gold. I'm not in a hurry, I'll save up and wait for the good deal, brand new or good second hand.
