What watch currently not made, would you buy in an instant?

For me I really want a Tudor Pelagos 39, but in blue, and even better if it was FXD. I feel like one of these options might happen...

That, or a 40mm Seamaster 300M with no date, no helium valve, a tapered brushed bracelet, bezel lume, and less than 11mm thick. But this is too far from reality to happen. hehe

What about you?

My first 'proper' watch was an Ebel 'wave' - steel (no gold) on a bracelet. I loved it. Unfortunately it was stolen in a burglary - I would replace it if they made exactly this watch.

The truth is that I wouldn't wear it as I have other watches - but I'd like to have it in my collection for old times sake.

If Tudor announced tomorrow that they were going to produce a Black Bay ‘Monochrome’ on their Jubilee (sorry, “5-link”) bracelet but with a matte/bead-blasted finish rather than polished metal, I would be throwing bricks of £20 notes at the jewellers windows.

Yep, everything is wrong about the current FXD's for me and my small wrists.

42mm - too big
52mm lug-to-lug - too much overhang
13mm thick plus the thick NATO makes it about 1.5cm off my wrist. I tried it on, and given that all the dimensions are a tad too big I think I'd catch it on every single door frame. I do want it for every day wear but I don't want to bash the st out of it.

So yes. A blue P39, or an FXD P39, or a blue FXD P39.

Great minds - I have been wanting a black FXD in 39mm... with a date (like the GMT)!

Don't like the new shade of blue they use... not as dark as the original Snowflakes!

Brunswick 38 '1924 Edition'; being a denizen of Bristol it appeals rather.

A proper Tudor submariner reboot. I want modern durability with the classic looks. The pelagos models just don’t hit the brief.
