    Since I got my Sinn 903 Navitimer with the Lemania movement. This year is a donor Speedy to mod into a racing, or maybe silvered white dial.

    In my dreams, a nice 33.3 in steel with black and multi-coloured dial.

    More realistically I´d like to add a (barnfind) Railmaster 2914 or 135.004

    Either a 176.001 or a 176.0010 and I'd cal 2017 a good watch year!

    Photo's shamelessly stolen from Google - I think at least one belongs to one of our own.

    Has anybody reached a plateau, or a state of equilibrium, where they are happy with what they have?

    I caught the Camaro bug, a Val 72 with exotic dial would be my dream in 2017.

    I've got a point where I can't get close to affording the next ones I'd like, without selling a lot of the ones that I have.

    I feel long term plateau coming on.

    That might have been a better way to word what I meant.

    No. But what you said was somewhat ambiguous.

    Mate.

    Well, for me, I'd really like to find another Nomos like the one I had and had to give up. Darn, they're hard to find.

    Yes. My mentor (Desmond / monodec). And I'm almost there for reasons besides just the watches. Desmond also knows a collector, who I believe he said was Japanese, that owns 7 watches. The ONLY time he buys is when he finds one of those 7 watches in better condition than the specimen he owns, and then sells the previous watch that has just been upgraded.
