I keep promising myself one of these, but never seem to have the spare cash when a good one comes up.



I'd like one of these and could probably stretch to one if I REALLY wanted it, which I guess means I don't smile



And this one I would love, but there's no way I'm spending that much on any watch



Doesn't stop me looking though! biggrin

Haha sounds exactly like me, when I am broke there is loads of watches for sale I would buy in a second, when I have spare money there is nothing.
Then there's the things I like but just can't quite pull the trigger on, Tudor Heritage Chrono, Zenith El Primero or Cafe racer, Oriss 65 etc. So I can't really WANT either of them, can I?
The things I REALLY want are so over budget frown

Very nice!

I keep looking at one of these



I have one of these Omega Seamaster Regatta - Love it and its nice to have the yellow sets it apart from most of the other Omega ones. Also at 44mm its a nice size as i always felt the smaller seamasters felt too small.

I really really Fancy A Rolex Sub Hulk or Black and Blue GMT. Both seem thin on the ground, and of recent annoyingly used ones are priced at a good £1000 more than list price.

Think i'll be doing a dealer order and just waiting is best option with prices now 10% more than a few weeks ago :-( on new and used seem to be bumped up same 10% and I refuse to pay over list of a Rolex, i'm happy to wait months or as long as it takes for a new dealer order at list price.

On the Omega though cant fault it at all. You should def buy one they also had 4 year warranty when i bought mine which was better than many other manufacturers offered at similar price point.

It's pay and rations time at work so who knows biggrin
It's a beautiful watch. Be prepared to wait a year. It's worth it!
Yep, and there are no pre-owned ones anywhere. Should have ordered it in the Spring when it last leapt into my mind and my man maths came out as = yes hehe
Dont be blind to what Jochen Benzinger does, both solely and with Kay Jeager (Grieb & Benzinger is a different price point completely).

Had a brief chat with them when in Amsterdam earlier in the year. They can get them as an AD but still a minimum of 9 months to wait. I'm leaning towards ordering the watch and then going over to collect it in person. That way I get to see the production facility and stretch the legs on my TVR a little smile

There are three......

This one - that I can afford but can't find ANYWHERE. It has to have the creamy yellow face & the brown leather strap.

It a hamilton Xwind - i think when i get it it'll be far to big for my tiny wrists and i'll hate it.



This - Again I could push too, I just haven't but I don't know why. Maybe I don't really want to spend that much. Has to be the mesh strap.



and finally this one.... needs to be a 1981 model year, perspex, manual wind etc.

After watching Dr Strange yesterday, this one:


I'd also like a 10 watch winder like in the film. Although most of them will be empty frown

Yes I don't like it, it's £5k more and looks smaller on.

I do like the rose gold Daytona with choc dial on the strap though.
