What watches are you lusting over right now? (Page 2 of 3)

| Not as high dollar goals as some of you guys, LOL, but a couple watches of interest I've had a desire for a while is a blue face Longines HydroConquest and an orange face Scurfa Treasure Seeker. I'm not sure Scurfa is making the Treasure Seekers anymore so I may be SOL on that one. |

Same here, might be one of the few I buy new because my AD will give me a substantial discount on Longines. Was offered the Zulu Time 42mm olive bezel NIB for $2,500… but I was able to snag a like new one still under warranty for three years for $1,800 so I went used. Retail new is $3,550 I believe. |

| I made the mistake of randomly stopping into a jewelry store the other day when I was out running errands and now I'm lusting after a Breitling Superocean Heritage. |
I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.

I’ve been wanting a Tag Monaco for awhile, I’ve got waaaaay too many blue dials so I found something different….ran across this beauty tonight and pulled the trigger, should be on my wrist in a week or so….vintage’ish CW2111 reference. And then I saw this really cool NOS Swatch cigar watch, and I do love my cigars…

Picked up a black bay 41 monochrome on a jubilee instead. It was a pretty watch though and I don’t mind small watches but it was a bridge too far. I really like the Movado Kingmatic that just came out. Might get that next. |

Been into smaller watches a bit lately since my old lady got me the 38mm Hamilton. When I went looking at the IWC pilot watches I wanted to see the 36mm but the store said they quit making them. Bought the 40mm Mark XX the day before they announced the 36mm Petit Prince version. Oh well. The Mark XX is awesome. But in keeping with my newfound fascination for smaller watches, these two 36mm Stowa watches have caught my eye.   My local jeweller says a guy in town has the 36mm sword hand Omega Seamaster and might be wanting to sell, so we'll see if that particular iron lands in the fire. I've got the full size and bought the 28mm version for my old lady, so the mid would make a full set. |

I have gone back and forth on my watch lust. From a Batman to a good Speedmaster. Big range. Last weekend i passed on a 1993 Submariner in unpolished like new condition, box, papers, for $8700. It was dumb to pass on it. I drove back to the store to get it and it sold 5 minutes earlier. Now i am obsessed with that reference. The 40mm sub and the look of the older references is perfect for me. |

I have subscribed to the “ Sea Air Land “ principle, probably mentioned by someone here on Arfcom at some point , but it made sense to me . I have a field watch on a steel bracelet a diver on rubber and a pilot on leather that are in my main rotation and cover 99% of my needs. I have thought about a dress? watch and I like the looks of the Sinn 556 in black mother of pearl as a possibility. |
| I've wanted a Rolex Submariner for twenty years now. Recently, I've been looking into Omega Speedmaster Professional or a Planet Ocean. I hope to get the Rolex first if the wait won't be too long from the local AD. The Omega maybe more obtainable? Time will tell. |

Unpopular opinion but everything else they sell is just a fancy homage of some Rolex or another.

And for real I’ve gotten more compliments from strangers on the invicta in 2 years of occasional wear than a decade with the SMP and 3 years every day west of the Pelly. I think being an older white hair dude makes more people likely to think it’s actually nice.
